This study aimed to restore the first generation golf swing (1G swing) in its original shape and verify its power compared with the contemporary golf swing. Based on the review of relevant literature and visual materials including two images of the golf swing from the 19 century antique drawings, it first identified three characteristics of the 1G swing: 1) the three-rod swing with a bent left arm and flying right elbow, 2) a big body turn with lift left heel, and 3) a backward moving head position in the backswing. Then, adopting a trial and error method, the restoration of the 1G swing was made at four stages. At the initial stage, the shape of the 1G swing was imitated by the researcher as close as possible and the swing form was video-taped. At the enhancement stage, the swing was refined by video feedback until the imitated swing looked visually identical to the prototypical images shown in the antique drawings. At the exploration stage, various shot making methods were explored while maintaining the imitated shape of the swing. At the final confirmation stage, the most powerful and consistent shot making method was emerged. This shot making method was regarded as the 1G swing. Once the 1G swing was restored visually, it was described in detailed words using contemporary swing concepts. To verify the effect of the restored 1G swing, a golf teaching professional compared the power of the 1G swing to that of the contemporary swing across various aspects. The result showed no significant differences between the two swing methods in general elements such as the flying distance, height of a ball, club head speed at impact. Only flight duration was significantly longer for the 1G swing (p<.05). Based on the result, implications and potentials of 1G swing were discussed.
