隨著時間的推移，人體老化的過程是不可避免的，本研究主要目的為探討年齡對女子高爾夫選手表現的影響。研究對象為2004年到2011年LPGA的女子職業高爾夫選手，分析的資料為選手每年度球季的表現，包含「年齡」、「桿數」、「開球距離」、「開球準確率」、「標準桿上果嶺率」、「標準桿上果嶺後的推桿數」及「沙坑救球率」等7個變項。以Pearson積差相關分析及迴歸分析探討年齡對女子高爾夫球選手表現的影響。結果發現相較於其他受限於生理能力的運動項目，女子高爾夫球選手可以透過技術的維持，擴展更長的運動生涯。

It is unavoidable that human beings physically get older with time flows. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of age on women golfers' performance. The subjects were professional golfers of LPGA from 2004 to 2011, and the data came from the players' performance in each year. The seven variables in this study were 'age', 'score', 'driving distance', 'driving accuracy', 'greens in regulation', 'putts per greens in regulation', 'sand save', and they were analyzed with correlation and regression statistical analyses to investigate the effect of age on women golfers' performance. The results showed that women golfers can extend their professional career easier by enhance their skills, comparing to those sports which may be limited by physical abilities.
