Abstract

The present study is aimed at investigating the reflections of golf trainees who dropped before becoming professional golfers. In this study, five former golf trainees were recruited to be interviewed and the researcher conducted three-rounds of in-depth interviews. Collected data were transcribed and analyzed by the researcher, and content analysis was conducted. Research findings indicate that the former golf trainees showed three distinctive features: 1) psychological problems, including metal problems, relationship with parents and the identity, 2) physical problems, which are caused by injuries while practicing and playing, and 3) economic problems, which are related to the financial status of parents and scholarship or sponsorship. In addition, participants were asked about their plans after dropping-out. They responded that they planned to study in sports or other fields of the study as a student. However, the former golf trainees expressed difficulties going back to the regular schooling system, because they had spent most of their school life at golf courses rather than in the classroom. In sum, the present study proposes systematic changes for the dropout of golf trainees who spend most of their adolescent years at golf courses. It is critical to grow more concern on schooling of these students.
