Abstract

This study aimed to provide basic data for the design and R&D of golf wear intended for 64 people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s by identifying the needs for golfers through a survey of golf wear purchasing conditions and preferences. The findings shows that purchases are made at permanent discount stores, and information about products are discovered through TV and Internet advertisements. Golf wear is purchased once or twice a year, with annual expenditures ranging from KRW 500,000 to less than 1 million, with single purchases ranging from KRW 200,000 to less than 500,000. When purchasing golf wear, design was considered first, with women preferring white garment, while men preferred black and gray ones. Men tended to prefer a PK collar button fastening style, while women preferred a knit style with a round neckline. Women preferred semi-fitted and fitted styles, while men preferred semi-fitted and loose-fitting styles, showing significant differences. When considering the production of golf wear, the younger the age of the consumer, the more the results indicated that the design needed to look younger, so it is the necessary to design golf wear that reflects the functional need of golfer while prioritizing designs for various ages.

본 연구는 40~60대를 위한 골프웨어 설계 및 연구개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 연 1회 이상 라운딩 활동과 골프 연습 활동을 꾸준히 하고 있는 의도표집된 대상자 64명을 대상으로 골프웨어 구매 및 선호도 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 골프웨어는 상설할인매장에서 구매하고 TV 및 인터넷광고를 통하여 정보를 활용하며, 구매빈도는 연간 1~2회로 연간 구입비 50만원~100만원 미만, 1회 지출 비용 20만원~50만원 미만이 가장 많았다. 골프웨어 구매 시 디자인을 먼저 고려하고 여성은 흰색, 남성은 검은색·회색을 가장 선호하였다. 남성은 PK 칼라의 단추여밈 스타일, 여성은 라운드 네크라인의 니트 스타일을 선호하는 편이었고 상의여유량은 여성은 세미 피티드, 피티드, 남성은 세미 피티드, 루즈한 핏을 선호하여 유의차를 보였다. 골프웨어 제작 시 고려사항으로 젊어 보이는 디자인에 대한 응답결과가 연령이 낮을수록 비율은 높아져 연령에 맞는 디자인을 우선시하여 골프활동을 위한 기능성을 반영한 골프웨어 설계가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
