Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the business economics of the golf industry. Presents statictics related to number of rounds played, operating cost, and revenues. States that "the Canadian golf industry, for the most part, lacks formalized industry benchmarks. Although the industry is trying to establish some key statistics, it has been difficult due to the "Mom and Pop" nature of most operations, with no formal organization of the process." Concludes that "after a tough decade, the golf industry in the U.S. [United States] appears to be getting healthier. The golf industry in Canada has been quite healthy up to now. However, if we are not careful and heed the lessons of the U.S., we just might be about to 'catch a cold.'" |
