Golf experts suggest that a performer should attempt to swing the same way during each shot, changing clubs to alter the flight trajectory and distance of the ball. This study sought to determine if there was a difference in the development of golf skill and swing consistency between a control group and an experimental group using an ergogenic aid. Subjects were 32 undergraduate students enrolled in one of two golf classes. Results revealed that: (1) the control group hit significantly more balls than the experimental group during the treatment phase; (2) the experimental group hit significantly fewer balls during the treatment phase than during the post-treatment phase; and (3) there were no other between or within group differences, although the control group scored significantly better than the experimental group on the skill test. It is concluded that ergogenic aid did not produce any group differences in movement consistency and it detracted from the amount of practice of golfers at the beginning/intermediate skill levels, which accounts for the better golf skill demonstrated by the control group at the end of the study.
