It is played by more than 60 million people worldwide, and there are more than 32,000 courses across the globe in 140 countries. This book looks at the power relationships in and around golf, examining whether the industry has demonstrated sufficient leadership on environmental matters for the government to be able to trust them to make decisions with implications for public health. It is the first comprehensive study of the varying impacts of golf on the environment, and is based on extensive empirical research, including interviews with major stakeholders in the golf industry and members of protest groups. The authors examine golf as a sport and as a global industry, drawing on three discrete literatures ? the study of sport as a global social movement, environmental sociology and the study of corporate environmentalism. 410 0$aGlobalizing sport studies. 606 $aGolf courses$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aGolf$xTournaments$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSports and globalization 610 $asociology 610 $aglobalization 610 $acorporate 610 $apower 610 $aenvironmentalism 610 $agolf 610 $aenvironment 610 $asport 615 0$aGolf courses$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aGolf$xTournaments$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSports and globalization. 676 $a796.352068 700 $aMillington$b Brad$0904789 702 $aWilson$b Brian$f1969-, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552351103316 996 $aThe greening of golf$92023447 997 $aUNISA
