Taylor & Francis Ltd A ConstraintsLed Approach to Golf Coaching
Book SynopsisWhile the popularity of golf is coming under increased pressure, it continues to hook millions of players. However, the complexity of the game and the extremely high level of precision required to hit the ball consistently well means that it is a game that is difficult to even become good' at, let alone master. Consequently, irrespective of whether the player is a weekend golfer, a club member, or a tour professional, the search for the key to playing good golf feeds an insatiable desire for ideas and tips to improve golf performance and bring one's handicap down. However, traditional coaching, with its primary focus on developing the perfect swing is not leading to a reduction in handicaps and the time is ripe for a new approach. This book aims to fill this void and is a landmark text for golf coaches and players about applying a constraints-led approach (CLA) to golf coaching. In this book, two golf coaches, Pete Arnott and Graeme McDowall talk to Ian Renshaw to demonstrate hTable of Contents1. Introduction: Why we need a new way of golf coaching2. The Beginner Golfer3.

Taylor & Francis Whatever Happened to the Leisure Society
Book SynopsisThe idea of a âleisure societyâ was in its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was predicted that the pattern of falling working hours which had been experienced in Western societies in the first half of the twentieth century would continue indefinitely. The leisure society has clearly not been realised. On the contrary: contemporary industrial societies seem to be characterised by a shortage of time, experienced as âtime squeezeâ and stress. The leisure society idea can be seen as the modern version of the age-old dream of a âlife of ease and plentyâ. This analytically and empirically rich book traces the idea in history, through biblical, classical Greek, medieval and nineteenth century utopian writings and into twentieth century concerns with dystopia and the impact of rapid technological change. The âleisure societyâ concept turns out to have been an elusive and short-lived phenomenon. For a variety of reasons, the trend towards shorter working hours ran out of steam in the last quarter of the twentieth century. However, while leisure scholars have deserted the topic, a diverse range of activists, including environmentalists, economists and feminists, continue to make the case for reducing working hours. Whatever Happened to the Leisure Society? concludes that the on-going âstruggle for timeâ should be supported, for the sake of human health and well-being and for the sake of the planet. This is a valuable resource for students and academics in the fields of leisure studies, cultural studies, history, economics, sociology and political science. Trade Review"[Tony Veal] does a great job of offering a detailed overview of the leisure society debate and in setting the record straight by correcting some of the prevailing misconceptions about it. If anybody working within or outside leisure studies ever wanted to know what the predictions and ideas of leisure society were all about, they do not need to go any farther than this book." - Utsa Mukherjee Birkbeck, University of London, Annals of Leisure Research"[Tony Veal] does a great job of offering a detailed overview of the leisure society debate and in setting the record straight by correcting some of the prevailing misconceptions about it.

This publication provides a remarkably detailed and accurate account of positions taken with regard to the leisure society by different authors, beginning from the 1930s until today … to those who will try, in the future, to say something new about the concept of the leisure society. Please first read Tony Veal’s book. He may have said it already. This is truly an encyclopedia of the leisure society." – Jiri Zuzanek, University of Waterloo, Loisir et Société / Society and Leisure"Whatever Happened to the Leisure Society? authored by A. J.

The discussions around leisure and labour remain essential for contemporary human societies due to its effect on human health and wellbeing." – Ashwin Tripathi, Indian Institute of Technology, Leisure StudiesTable of ContentsPart I: Introduction, 1.
