ABSTRACT

The control of any given swing requires the brain to simultaneously control an extremely large number of independently activatable motor units and this, in theory at least, places an extrermely high computational workload on the motor cortex. This problem of how near infinite degrees of freedom are simultaneously controlled and how information pertaining to this control is stored to provide a basis for ongoing learning is compounded if one considers the total range of shots the expert golfer has apparent mastery over.
