  • The Dr. Alister Mackenzie Chronology (2018)
    The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology th The 20 Revision October 2018 The MacKenzie Chronology Project The Project In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 20th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands upon the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.

Training in the EU is a complex field on which it is difficult to get accurate data. The effort to get data on distance training is even more challenging.

Not every sports-related case decided in 2012 is included in this survey. Instead, this survey briefly summarizes a wide range of cases that impacted the sports industry in 2012. This survey intends to give the reader an insight into the growing industry of sports-related legal issues and to highlight the most recent developments in sports law. To better assist the reader, this survey is arranged alphabetically by the specific substantive area of law associated with each sports law case. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Administrative law covers the actions of the federal, state, and local governments, such as adjudicating, rulemaking, and regulatory enforcement. Sports law cases rarely involve administrative law, but one occurred in 2012. Salt Lake City Corp. v. Jordan River Restoration Network1 This conflict arose when the Jordan River Restoration Network opposed Salt Lake City’s efforts to validate municipal bonds to finance the construction of a regional sports complex.

  • A Slice of Tourism: the Nature, Dimensions and Geographies of International Golf Tourism in New Zealand
    A Slice of Tourism: The Nature, Dimensions and Geographies of International Golf Tourism in New Zealand By Chris Gazley Victoria University 2010 A thesis submitted to the Institute of Geography, Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science i Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who helped me during my long year of writing this thesis. Thank you to my supervisor, Richard Willis for his guidance and many hours spent on this; to Sophia for also helping with ideas, proof reading and for motivation when I needed it; to Conway for helping with all things to do with computers and finally to all research participants for their thoughts. This thesis would not have been possible without them. ii Abstract Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world and for New Zealand it is the most important industry along with dairy. Of the 2.5 million tourists who visit New Zealand each year, it is estimated that around 65,000 (3%) of visitors will play at least one game of golf while in the country. New Zealand’s profile as a golfing destination has increased in recent years and now boasts a number of the worlds top ranked courses. This, along with the low cost of playing golf in New Zealand has made it an attractive golfing destination. This thesis aims to gain a greater insight into the nature and dimensions of the golf tourism industry in New Zealand and of those who visit. This research was conducted through a range of interviews with 19 stakeholders in the golf tourism industry, as well as a golfer’s questionnaire to which 44 international visitors responded.
