Title: Strategic development plan of the Czech golf federation's National training system Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is the evaluation of the current condition of the Czech golf federation's National training system and the assembly of the strategic development plan for its future development. Methods: Analysis of documents from a technical server of the Czech golf federation (CGF), semi-structured qualitative interview with representatives of the CGF and the Czech Golf Team, quantitative questionnaire for members of National training squad, and data collection from the World and European Championships from the last 11 years. Creation of SWOT analysis. Results: Missions and goals of the Czech golf federation are before all development of recreational and sports golf in the Czech Republic. Response of players to the functioning of the National training system of the Czech golf federation is overall positive. From the result, the collection is evident that success among younger players is higher than older amateur players and professionals in similar tournaments. The strategic development plan was created for three terms that correlate together in the following five years. Keywords: strategic planning, development, amateur golf, professional golf, golf

Aim The aim of the study was to examine the wrist angles at impact when striking from two surfaces common in golf. The research question was: is there a difference in ulnar/radial deviation or flexion/extension at the wrists when striking from a mat placed on a steel platform compared to striking from grass.   Method Six male elite golf players (Handicap: +0.6±2.2) were recruited for the study. An optoelectronic system containing 12 infrared cameras captured reflective markers placed on the participants and on a golf club when they performed three shots from a mat and three shots from grass. The markers were identified in the Qualisys Track Manager software and the marker trajectories were imported into Visual 3D. Reflective markers were placed bilaterally on the medial and lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the radial and ulnar styloid processes, and the 2nd and 5th metacarpophalangeal joint. In addition, an elbow joint marker was calculated as the midpoint of the two elbow markers. The local frames were defined from these markers giving the proximal and distal ends of segments and the frontal plane.The wrist angles were defined as the orientation of the local frame of the hand segment relative to the orientation of the local frame of the forearm segment. Flexion/extension and ulnar/radial deviation of the wrists were calculated at impact.   Results There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in ulnar deviation or flexion/extension at impact for either wrist between the two conditions.   Conclusion No significant differences in the wrist angles at impact between the two conditions indicate that the wrist position did not change significantly between the two conditions. This may be positive from a learning perspective since the technique does not change irrespective of the condition. Furthermore since there was no significant difference in ulnar deviation at impact between the two conditions, the ulnar deviation at impact is presumably not a reason for why players and researchers suggest that playing from mats is more injurious than playing from grass. The reason could be due to differences in the loads on the wrists when striking from the different surfaces. Future research should therefore be conducted to examine the differences in loading of the wrist joints between the two conditions. / Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien var att undersöka handledsvinklarna vid träffögonblicket vid slag från två vanliga underlag i golf. Frågeställningarna var: finns det en skillnad i ulnar/radial deviation eller flexion/extension vid handlederna vid slag från en matta placerad på en stålställning jämfört med slag från gräs.   Metod Sex manliga elit golfare (Handikapp: +0.6±2.2) rekryterades till studien. Ett optoelektroniskt system innehållandes 12 infraröda kameror registrerade reflekterande markörer som var placerade på försökspersonerna och på en golfklubba när försökspersonerna utövade tre slag från matta och tre slag från gräs. Markörerna identifierades sedan i mjukvaran Qualisys Track Manager och markörbanan importerades till Visual 3D. De reflekterande markörerna placerades bilateralt på mediala och laterala epikondylerna av humerus, stydoliderna på radius och ulna, samt på andra och femte metakarpofalangealled. Utöver dessa markörer så beräknades en armbågsmarkör som mittpunkten mellan de två armbågsmarkörerna. De lokala koordinatsystemen var definierade från dessa markörer vilket gav de proximala och distala änderna av segmenten samt frontal planet. Handledsvinklarna var definierade som positionen av det lokala koordinatsystemet på hand segmentet i förhållande till positionen av underarmssegmentets lokala koordinatsystem. Flexion/extension och ulnar/radial deviation av handlederna beräknades vid träffögonblicket.   Resultat Inga signifikanta skillnader (p > 0.05) upptäcktes för ulnar deviation eller flexion/extension vid träffögonblicket för någon av handlederna mellan de två underlagen.   Slutsats Att det inte upptäcktes några signifikanta skillnader i någon av handledsvinklarna vid träffögonblicket mellan de två underlagen visar på att handledens vinkelposition inte skiljer sig signifikant mellan de två underlagen. Detta kan vara positivt ur ett inlärningsperspektiv eftersom tekniken inte ändras om man byter underlag. Att ulnar deviationen inte skiljde sig mellan de två underlagen tyder på att ulnar deviationen troligtvis inte är en orsak till varför forskare och spelare föreslår att slag från matta är mer skadligt än slag från gräs. Anledningen till detta kan vara på grund av skillnader i handledsbelastning vid slag från de olika underlagen. Fortsatt forskning bör därför undersöka skillnader i belastningen på handlederna mellan de två underlagen.
