Dr. Kwon's: Golf Biomechanics Instructor Training

This document provides information on Dr. Young-Hoo Kwon's golf biomechanics instructor training course. The course is divided into two days and covers basic mechanical and biomechanical concepts relevant to analyzing the golf swing. Key topics include kinematics, kinetics, the functional swing plane, and linear and angular motion analysis. The goal is to provide instructors with a mechanical and biomechanical framework for understanding the mechanically sound golf swing.
