The fundamental technical movement of golf is the swing. Therefore, it is essential to understand its parameters in terms of efficacy. The objective of this study is to analyze the execution of the swing and provide a technical model for execution by female golfers. A female professional golfer was studied. Five swings were examined that, according to golf player's criteria, were correctly performed. Techniques of 3D photogrammetry were used to examine the data. A system of movement capture, based on optic tracking, was also used. Principal kinematics angular variables were assessed. Most of the articulations studied showed ranges of movement coincident with the patterns of efficacy reported in the literature. It is pertinent to highlight a great rotation of the axes of hips and shoulders at the end of the back-swing. The subject shows a swing adjusted to the parameters of efficacy that are reported in the specialized literature
