The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among golf score, physique, and body composition from high school male amateur golfers. 105 golfers were participated in this study and their percentage body fat, fat free mass, total body water, basal metabolic rate, and muscle mass were measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis method. Correlation analysis was performed to find out the relationship among golf score, height, and body composition and regression analysis was also used to evaluate the effect of height and body composition to the score. The results indicated that height, basal metabolic rate, and muscle mass had negative correlations with score. The result of regression analysis also showed that those factors significantly affect to the golf score. Thus, height, basal metabolic rate, and muscle mass from the physique and body composition factors should be considered to increase the play ability and performance of those golfers. It is also necessary to figure out the physique and body composition precisely which are fit to golfer for better performance.
