Abstract/Contents: | Presents information on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama. The Trail has seven golf courses throughout the state aimed at marketing golf to the general public instead of players with high incomes. The trail is also designed to bring in out-of-state tourism, and many more tourist businesses such as motels and resturaunts have been developed since the creation of the trail. The development of the trail has also sparked larger statewide economic growth, including a new Mercedes-Benz plant and a new rocket factory. The courses want to tap into national markets by advertising on the World Wide Web. Mississippi and Tennessee have follwed in Alabama's footsteps, and are building golf course trails nearly identical to the Robert Jones Trail. The three states feel that the increase in revenue in one state can only benefit the others. Many of the courses are popular because they boast high quality golf at very reasonable prices. |
