SyfteI min studie har jag genom textanalys valt att undersöka och jämföra eventuella skillnader i hur media beskriver Liselott Neumanns och Anna Nordqvists genombrott, 1988 respektive 2009. Detta för att se om och eventuellt hur det dominerande sättet att tala om kvinnliga elitidrottare, damgolfare samt damgolf utmanas och/eller förstärks.MetodDiskursanalys av två lokala dagstidningar, en nationell dagstidning och en facktidning inom perioden en månad innan och två månader efter spelarnas genombrott.ResultatDet har mellan de två undersökningsperioderna 1988 och 2009 skett en tydlig förändring i gestaltandet av de kvinnliga golfarna i de valda publikationerna. Skillnaderna framträder då det kommer till beskrivningen såväl av idrottarens prestation som av hennes person.Beskrivningarna av Neumann och Nordqvist har mycket gemensamt men de porträtteras också olika på ett avgörande sätt. Likheterna finns bland annat i att privatlivet inte har någon plats i medias bevakning och att deras bakgrund inte alls beskrivs. Barndom, skoltid och ungdomsår lyser alla med sin frånvaro.

Denna studie handlar om fritidsvanor och huvudsysselsättningar hos två olika grupper i samhället, nämligen ungdomar i stadsdelen Rosengård och ungdomar i stadsdelen Limhamn vilka båda ligger i Malmö. Det finns klara skillnader när man jämför dessa två grupper och därför ville vi titta närmare på detta och analysera utifrån informanternas berättelser faktorer som påverkar valet av fritidsvanor och valet av huvudsysselsättning av utbildning och jobb samt varför de ser olika ut. Vi har utfört intervjuer i båda stadsdelarna och samtalat med ungdomar samt gjort deltagande observation för att se hur dessa ungdomar uppför sig i gruppen de tillhör.Ungdomar på båda sidor eller i båda stadsdelar anser att fritid är en viktig faktor i deras liv och att olika fritidsaktiviteter har olika status. Fritidsaktiviteter på Rosengård har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Limhamn och fritidsaktiviteter från Limhamn har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Rosengård. Valet av utbildning och jobb är inte heller lika när man jämför de olika stadsdelarna.

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att följa och dokumentera en komplett ombyggnad av en befintlig golfbana med omfattande dräneringsproblem. Dessa problem har med tiden resulterat i förkortad spelsäsong och försämrad spelupplevelse för golfklubbens medlemmar. Arbetet med ombyggnaden skulle följas på plats under perioden 2007-2009, då ombyggnaden föregick, med en parallell litteraturstudie som behandlade tillämpade metoder och tekniker. Litteraturstudien relaterar till hur erkända och väl beprövade rekommendationer från United States Golf Association (USGA) skall tillämpas vid denna typ uppbyggnad av spelytor. Rekommendationerna går att tillämpas på olika sätt under olika förhållanden, vilket även Svenska Golfförbundets (SGF) anpassning av dessa riktlinjer påvisar.
