Previous studies proposed that because the importance of the individual differences, the possible grupal differences do not reach significance. Also they expect significant differences between a noncompetitive situation and competitive situations. The results showed a group tendency of the values in the sense that the lower the performance of the recall competition, the higher the anxiety level. We found significant differences in the group s anxiety means between the best and the worst competitions in the case of STAI and cognitive scale of CSAI-2. These significant differences could be due to the specific characteristics of golf or to the problems produced by recall measures used.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
