골프경기의 체험 현상

Abstract

The golf game is the harmony of the body and the consciousness difficult to interpret scientifically, like 'what I should think, and how I behave'. Golfing players come to have vivid experiences in each game. It can be said that their memory has a direct effect on the game as golfing players are physically and spiritually reminded of it for a long time. Therefore, this study is intended to explore the situation of the game personally experienced by golfing players with the approach of the phenomenological method to find and interpret the meaning inherent in the body movement through the in-depth study of the belief, cause and motive inherent in the situation of the golf game. A total of 16 golfers made up of 6 golfers active in LPGA and 8 golfers active in KLPGA were employed for the purpose of this study. And the method of measuring the patterns of the formation and change of the participants' conscious world was utilized through the naturally progressed conversation and technique like participant observation and in-depth interview. As a result, the situation of the participants' game could be categorized into three factors such as 'relationship to the surroundings', 'friendliness with the natural environment' and 'perception of the body and the self' in a broad sense. It was found that to harmonize these categorized contents well, the golfing players found pleasure in the game itself rather than its results and accepted the game situation with a positive thinking, which indicates that they exercised good competitive power.
