Abstract/Contents: | Claims nationwide golf participation is waning due to the downturn of the economy and cutbacks on leisure spending. Suggests that expenses such as labor, fertilizer, pesticide, water, and maintenance equipment employed in attempts to preserve the beauty of the course actually serve to drive up the cost. States that "consumer demand for perfect conditions have diminished the core appeal for the game." Appeals to the industry and golf enthusiasts alike to promote a renewed interest in the game and calls for a more "economically realistic" approach. |
