The golf industry has become the center of attention for recreational activities in the participant sport market; however, there has been little effort made to understand golf consumer and their consumption behavior using the concept of 'recreational specialization' which segments the golfers based on level of specialization in golf. The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in the relationships among perceived service quality, price of playing golf, overall customer satisfaction with the course, and a player's intention to revisit the same golf course based on the magnitude of recreation specialization in golf. Four public and two private golf courses from the southeastern state of the United States were randomly chosen from a list in a golf magazine. The 365 surveys among 417 participants were ultimately analyzed. Multiple group analysis was conducted in order to investigate differences in relationships among service quality, price, customer satisfaction, and revisit intentions between groups based on the level of recreation specialization. The key findings were 1) for more specialized golfers, satisfaction with price did not affect overall customer satisfaction or revisit intention, however, service quality significantly influenced both overall customer satisfaction and revisit intention, 2) for less specialized golfers, satisfaction with price significantly influenced overall customer satisfaction but did not affect revisit intention. Knowledge about which the determinants of satisfaction are different between more and less specialized golfers could provide a better understanding of how different marketing strategies should be implemented for different specialized levels of golfers.

In March 26th, 2016, two major sport organizations of South Korea, Korean Olympic Committee and the Korean Council of Sports for All, have merged with the ultimate goal of improving health and wellness among Korean people through sport and physical activity participation. Integration of sport system intended to shift the paradigm from "old" to "new", and can be a catalyzer to promote Korea as a developed nation with the delivery of quality sport. This study critically reviewed the Canadian Sport for Life-Long-Term Athlete Development (CS4L-LTAD) which serves as a platform to integrate and operate sport organizations in Canada, and discussed the feasibility and adaptability of CS4L-LTAD in the Korean context. This study also introduced Integrated Model for Korea Sport System developed based on the CS4L-LTAD framework, and addressed key strategies that will drive to the successful implementation of the model. The Integrated Model for Korea Sport System offers ways to improve the quality of sport and physical activity for all Koreans by linking sport, recreation, physical education, and health, and by aligning programs and services across different settings: school, elite, and community sports. The recent restructure and redesign of Korea sport system will play vital roles in promoting the overall welfare of all Koreans, regardless of one's sex, age, disability, and sociodemographic status by providing inclusive, ethical, and holistic framework that is appropriate for the Korea sport system.

Business organizations are asked to create new business models utilizing current technological innovations such as ubiquitous computing technology for developing new domains of business to obtain a competitive advantage and achieve a sustainable development. This study was focused on the processes for developing new and practical business models. The purpose of this study was to propose ubiquitous sport business modeling processes from the modeling framework. In particular, this study focused on developing new, pragmatic, and effective sport business models, and this new type of business is defined as 'u-sport.' For design the business model, extensive literature reviews and case studies were conducted for benchmarking the cases and expert group review was conducted for developing u-sport business model framework. The suggested business modeling processes in this study were consisted of four phases; 1) organization strategy level setting phase, 2) business strategy level setting phase, 3) business structure level setting phase, and 4) service level setting phase. The modeling processes were verified to adapt ubiquitous sport business. This designing and modeling process is expected to play a significant role on enhancing the technology-based business environments as the process mainly focuses on the service and consumer oriented approach rather than technology and suppliers oriented approach. In conclusion, establishing sport business models by adapting the service modeling process will deliver an exponential growth and development of future ubiquitous based industry.
