Golf is a major global industry. The sport is played by more than
60 million people worldwide and there are more than 32,000 courses
in 140 countries across the globe. This book looks at the power
relationships in and around golf, examining whether the industry
has demonstrated sufficient leadership on environmental matters to
be trusted to make weighty decisions with implications for public
and environmental health. The first comprehensive study of the
varying responses to golf-related environmental issues, it is based
on extensive empirical work, including research into historical
materials and interviews with stakeholders in golf such as course
superintendents, protesters and health professionals. The authors
examine golf as a sport and as a global industry, drawing on and
contributing to literatures pertaining to environmental sociology,
global social movements, institutional change, corporate
environmentalism and the sociology of sport. -- .
