Abstract

the current U.S. market. The ratio of men to women golf in all aspects whether
its golf coaching, retail, course management or equipment custom fitting is
disproportionate but has started taking a structural shape. Recent trends
suggest a slight decrease in the number of rounds played and the number of
core participants of golf in US.

role in driving golf industry growth. Core golfers' participation has declined
over the last five years from 2003 to 2007. The five largest retailers driving
