Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the elite golf players’ centre of force (COF) displacements and golf shot performance during golf shots on three different ground inclinations. Twenty elite golf players were asked to hit golf shots on flat surface, 10° uphill and 10° ball above feet using their six irons. COF displacements (TekScan MatScan® force platform) and golf shot performance (TrackMan® golf radar system) were analysed. In this study, golf players’ weight transfer was similar in each shot (p > 0.05), except higher A-P sway during the ball above feet golf shots (p
