Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to ascertain if there were a relationship between strength in selected muscle groups and driving distance for women golfers using a number five iron. Thirty women were selected as subjects on the basis of their five iron driving distance in golf. The subjects were then divided into two groups; Group One contained the fifteen golfers who drove the greatest average distance, Group Two contained the fifteen golfers who drove the least average distance. Each of the thirty subjects was given fourteen cable tensiometer strength tests. These scores were converted into T-scores and were combined to yield a total strength score for each subject in groups one and two, and a total strength score for each test.
