Download or read book Emerging Sports as Social Movements written by Joshua Woods and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the rise of an emerging sport as a grassroots effort (or “new social movement”), arguing that the growth of non-normative sports movements occurs through two social processes: one driven primarily by product development, commercialization, and consumption, and another that relies upon public resources and grassroots efforts. Through the lens of disc golf, informed by the author’s experience both playing and researching the sport, Joshua Woods here explores how non-normative sports development depends on the consistency of insider culture and ideology, as well as on how the movement navigates a broad field of market competition, government regulation, community characteristics, public opinion, traditional media, social media and technological change. Throughout, the author probes why some sports grow faster than others, examining cultural tendencies toward sport, individual choices to participate, and the various institutional forces at play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disc Golf For Beginners: Learn The Basic Guide To Become Better At Playing Disc Golf Disc golf, sometimes referred to as Frisbee golf, is a flying disc sport in which participants throw a disc towards a target utilizing golf-like regulations. The majority of disc golf discs are comprised of polypropylene plastic, also known as polypropene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin with a broad range of uses. Other forms of plastic that are heated and molded into individual discs are also used to manufacture discs. Typically, golf is played on courses having 9 or 18 holes (baskets). Players finish a hole by means of throwing a disc from a tee pad or region toward a basket, throwing once more from where the previous throw landed, till the basket is attained. The wire baskets have chains suspended above them that are meant to catch the oncoming discs, which subsequently fall into the basket for a point. Typically, the number of throws required to reach each basket is tracked (sometimes in proportion to par), and players strive to finish each hole with the fewest total throws. Par is the number of strokes a skillful golfer is predicted to take to complete a hole or set of holes (usually 9 or 18). Playing Of The Game Disc golf is structured similarly to the game of golf. A "round" is played on a disc golf course with a number of "holes," often nine or eighteen. Each hole consists of a tee for beginning play and a disc golf target some distance away, often with obstacles like hills, trees, or bodies of water in the way. Players start by means of throwing a disc from the tee devoid of crossing over the tee's front before releasing the disc. This may result in an error comparable to a bowling foot mistake in cricket. After that, players traverse the hole by picking up the disc where it falls and tossing it again until they get to the target. The objective of the game is to complete the course with the fewest total throws. Each player takes a turn at the tee box, and the person farthest from the hole throws the ball first, while the other players stand away. The greatest players attempt to modify the flight of the disc to account for distance, terrain, obstacles, and weather on each course, since each course is unique. In order to enable a range of shots, players carry a selection of discs with varying flight characteristics, selecting the most suitable disc for each throw. Some players also carry a little marker disc, which is used to precisely indicate the throwing location before each throw. Miniature marker discs are very prominent in competitive play. Numerous courses have out-of-bounds regions, sometimes known as "OB zones" or simply "OB." Typically, if the disc falls in one of these zones, the player must add a penalty throw to his or her score and resume play close to where the disc entered the out-of-bounds region. A number of courses comprise out-of-bounds zones with unique regulations forcing the golfer to continue play from a designated place known as a drop zone or to restart the hole from the tee. A number of courses also have Mandatories (sometimes known as "Mandos"), which necessitate the disc to go above, beneath, or to one side of a specified line marked by a sign. The player with the lowest score on the previous hole throws first from the tee box, as per custom. The majority of players also adhere to an informal code of politeness while playing, which includes standing out of the throwing player's line of sight and refraining from making distracting sounds. Because a thrown disc might cause injury, the Professional Disc Golf Association advises players to wear protective gear "Never throw in a blind area or while spectators, pedestrians, or facility users are in close proximity. This book is all you need to play disc golf

"He who rules the short game collects the gold." --Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores.

His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and win. A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game. Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can--and will--help you to consistently shoot lower scores.

Download or read book Fearless Golf written by Dr. Gio Valiante and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed plan for conquering the FEAR that sabotages swings and ruins psyches, from the pioneering psychologist whose techniques have benefited Davis Love III, Justin Leonard, and numerous other world-class golfers. As Jack Nicklaus once observed, fear is the golfer’s greatest enemy, inspiring Tiger Woods to "refuse" to give in to this debilitating emotion. It can turn professionals into jelly and dominate the games of most amateurs. It alters swing paths, causes “tap-in” putts to go awry, and transforms a golfer from a brilliant shot-maker on the practice range into an incompetent hack on the course. Most golfers understand this, but do not have the tools to overcome it. That’s where Dr. Gio Valiante comes in. A pioneering sports psychologist, Valiante has studied the sources of an athlete’s fear, investigated the physiological and neurological impact of fear on performance, and, most important of all, developed a groundbreaking program for conquering it. With Valiante's help and by applying Fearless Golf, Justin Leonard went from three consecutive missed cuts to three consecutive top tens, and Chad Campbell recently moved from 98th in the world to 7th. Davis Love III went from zero wins in 2002 to four wins in 2003, and Chris DiMarco made the 2004 Ryder Cup Team. Emphasizing the need to replace a fixation-on-results with a commitment to mastery of one’s body and one's mind, Valiante’s approach will not only help golfers reach their true potential, it will make playing every round fun again. Through concrete confidence and mastery drills, he presents specific ways readers can break free of fear’s grasp and perform at their best—even under the most extreme pressure. With detailed quotes and anecdotes given exclusively to Dr. Valiante from the best players in the game—including Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els, and other tour professionals, Fearless Golf is the ultimate guide to the mental game, the hottest topic in golf today.
