Study Scope
Keywords:	Social Sciences, golf, Swing Analysis, performance data, sports analytics, launch monitor
Abstract:	This dataset contains golf swing and trajectory data sourced from a publicly available dataset on Kaggle, originally collected using a launch monitor. It includes structured performance metrics such as ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate. Additional files, including video recordings and analysis notes, are included to support performance evaluation, reproducibility, and long-term digital preservation.
