With SAS for Windows, we have calculated an average and a standard deviation based on the data and verified whether there is a difference in them by T- Test and One-Way Anova.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The results of the research are as follows:<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;1. On the difference in 16 character elements between would-be semiprofessional golfers and would-be tour-professional golfers, the element B, Q1, and Q3 show an meaningful difference(p＜.05), and would-be tour-professional golfers scored higher than semiprofessional golfers in these elements.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;2. On the difference in 16 character elements according to one&quot;s career as an golfer, just two of 16 elements - B and Q2 - show an meaningful difference (p＜.05), and golfers who have more than 11 years of career scored higher than others in these two elements.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;3.
