A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

While 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 how their practice is driven and inspired by their alignment to a CLA. A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching includes case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to induce adaption in the technical tactical (or put in golf terms course management) physiological and psychological development mechanisms needed to improve at golf. Examples cover coaching from their work with beginners high handicappers aspirant tour players and elite players looking to make the ‘tour’.

Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

First published in 1975 Golf in Britain traces the growth of the game from its small beginnings in fifteenth century Scotland to 1970s when it emerged as a widely enjoyed and massively financed sport. Golf has been peculiarly a subject related to economic and social change in society. Initially a folk game played in a small part of Scotland then for many years a pastime dominated by the wealthy leisured classes including Royalty golf developed at the turn of the nineteenth century into a sport enjoyed by all sections of the community. One aspect of this change is reflected in the role of women on the links. Another change concerns the fashions in correct wear and equipment both part of a larger golfing etiquette so important to the game. Attitudes too towards the professional golfer have changed dramatically over the years and an increasingly important role is given to young players. Geoffrey Cousins has combined his specialist knowledge and considerable enthusiasm to make a very readable book which will appeal to everyone interested in the role of golf in our history. | Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level set methods are numerical techniques which offer remarkably powerful tools for understanding analyzing and computing interface motion in a host of settings. When used for medical imaging analysis and segmentation the function assigns a label to each pixel or voxel and optimality is defined based on desired imaging properties. This often includes a detection step to extract specific objects via segmentation. This allows for the segmentation and analysis problem to be formulated and solved in a principled way based on well-established mathematical theories. Level set method is a great tool for modeling time varying medical images and enhancement of numerical computations. | Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Invariant Descriptive Set Theory

Invariant Descriptive Set Theory

Presents Results from a Very Active Area of ResearchExploring an active area of mathematics that studies the complexity of equivalence relations and classification problems Invariant Descriptive Set Theory presents an introduction to the basic concepts methods and results of this theory. It brings together techniques from various areas of mathematics such as algebra topology and logic which have diverse applications to other fields. After reviewing classical and effective descriptive set theory the text studies Polish groups and their actions. It then covers Borel reducibility results on Borel orbit and general definable equivalence relations. The author also provides proofs for numerous fundamental results such as the Glimm–Effros dichotomy the Burgess trichotomy theorem and the Hjorth turbulence theorem. The next part describes connections with the countable model theory of infinitary logic along with Scott analysis and the isomorphism relation on natural classes of countable models such as graphs trees and groups. The book concludes with applications to classification problems and many benchmark equivalence relations. By illustrating the relevance of invariant descriptive set theory to other fields of mathematics this self-contained book encourages readers to further explore this very active area of research.

Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

The analysis of scenic design in film and television is often neglected with visual design elements relegated to part of the mise-en-scène in cinema or simply as wallpaper in television. Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design positions itself from the audience perspective to explore how we watch TV and film and how set design enhances and influences the viewing experience. By using semiotics history and narratology and adding concepts drawn from art architecture and theatre Geraint D’Arcy reworks the key concepts of set design. Looking at the impact of production design on how the viewer reads film and television these updated theories can be applied more flexibly and extensively in academic criticism. D’Arcy creates a new theoretical approach representing a significant expansion of the field and filling the remaining gaps. This book is ideal for anyone interested in understanding how we can read and interpret design in film and television and should be the primary point of reference for those studying TV and film set design.
