| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the new, higher level of competition among golf courses to attract golfers. Describes the golf industry's anticipation of baby boomers "hitting retirement age and taking up the sport." Also addresses the recent development of golf as a family sport, and the work of course developers to make "the experience more pleasurable for everyone" through the addition of fishing ponds, swimming pools and biking trails to the golf courses. |
