Surgeons now have a really good excuse to be out on the golf course.
Researchers have shown that the same training technique that will
improve their putting can also improve their operating skills. Dr
Samuel Vine and Dr Mark Wilson, from Sport and Health Sciences at the
University of Exeter, tested both elite golfers and surgical residents
in two separate experiments using the gaze control technique known as
the “Quiet Eye.”
First, they divided 22 elite golfers, (handicaps less than 6), into
two groups after their baseline putting performance was measured. The
control group received no additional training while the experimental
group participated in Quiet Eye (QE) training, a method first developed
by Dr. Joan Vickers of the University of Calgary. They were
instructed to follow these steps:
1. Assume your stance and align the club so your gaze is on the back of the ball.
2. After setting up over the ball, fix your gaze on the hole. Fixations toward the ...
