Nutrition and Golf Performance: A Systematic Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Golf is played both recreationally and professionally by approximately 66.6 million people worldwide. Despite the potential for nutrition to influence golf performance, research in this area is somewhat limited.

Objective

To identify the existing literature regarding nutrition and golf and where the current research gaps lie.

Design

Scoping review. Online databases were used to retrieve data from 2003 to the present day.

Data sources

A three-step search strategy identified relevant primary and secondary articles as well as grey literature. Published and unpublished articles in the English language, identified by searching electronic databases (ProQuest Central, Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and PubMed) and reference searching.
