説明

Although golf is supposedly played in the natural setting, a large volume of engineering earth work is usually involved in the construction of golf course in Japan where the land available for such development is found mostly in the hilly terrain. This study tries to elucidate the relation between the man-made earth form of the golf course and human responses in terms of players' behaviour and judgment. Characteristic features of golf courses in the hilly terrain are firstly analysed. They can be categorised into two groups; visual and physical forms which can be studied statically by photos and engineering drawings, and their dynamic sequential relationships which can be experienced only by players. Those features in the first category are primarily dealt with in this paper. Basic physical elements of a golf course and their requirements are then identified.<BR>To get first-hand data on the players' evaluation of course features, a questionnaire survey was conducted among veteran golfers at T. Country Club in suburban Tokyo. A respondent was requested to evaluate in three point scale nine items for each of its eighteen holes on the basis of his remembered impression. For example, a view from the teeing ground is evaluated as good, medium or bad. The average score is then regressed upon both quantitative and qualitative variables objectively measured from visual and physical features of a course of interest by using Hayashi's Quantification Method #1. For example, a view from the teeing ground is evaluated good if a player can command a view of the fairway reaching to the green, if there is a view of the club house, and if there is a lesser amount of man-made slope. In this case, three items statistically explain eighty-nine percent of respondents' variation.<BR>Through the analysis of questionnaire data, some meaningful conclusions relating earth work form and players' evaluation have been drawn. Further study along this line should be conducted in other places to confirm these findings.
