The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between social support, resilience, and exercise adherence among active senior golf participants. To achieve the goal of this study, a total of 224 questionnaires were distributed and 250 copies were collected back. Out of those returned questionnaires, insincerely replied or double-replied questionnaires were excluded and finally 224 questionnaires were analyzed for this study. For analysis of the data, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equating modeling were conducted using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 18.0. Main findings were as follows: First social support had a positive effect on resilience. Second, resilience had a positive effect on exercise adherence. Third, social support had a positive effect on exercise adherence. Fourth, resilience mediated the relationship between golf participant social support and exercise adherence. Therefore, in order to improve the intention of active seniors to continue playing golf, social support should be provided through the instructor's systematic teaching method, and furthermore, it is thought that multifaceted psychological counseling and education are necessary to enhance resilience.
