What you might not know is just how much money. What if I told you it was in the hundreds of&#8230;wait for it&#8230;BILLIONS.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest Golf Economy Report (commissioned for the 2011 calendar year and released in October 2012 by the World Golf Foundation and Golf 20\/20), the golf industry has an indirect economic impact of $176.8 billion in the United States. And, if you extrapolate that out to include everyone&#8217;s salary who is affected by a golf-related transaction, the number is even more staggering: Nearly two trillion dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Such robust numbers led the report&#8217;s authors to conclude that, &#8220;The game of golf is an industry in its own right, and contributes significantly to the U.S. economy.&#8221; But how does golf pump that much cash into the system on a annual basis &#8211; especially in light of recent economic woes? Well the report boils it down to seven ways.<\/p>\n<p>1) Let&#8217;s begin with golf courses. There are nearly 16,000 facilities in the U.S. (some with multiple courses) that employ nearly a million people. But beyond wages, money is spent on several other things such as maintenance (gas, fertilizer and pesticides etc.) and food and beverage (the 19th hole) &#8211; in all, golf courses are collectively responsible for contributing more than $86 billion to the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n<p>2) What about hospitality and tourism? This is an area that has actually seen a rise over the last decade. People are traveling to play golf and the money they spend in relation to that travel is substantial &#8211; nearly $65 billion is in some way, shape or form correlated to golf-related travel every year.<\/p>\n<p>3) We all know the real estate market has suffered over the past half decade and golf real estate (residential golf-related construction) is no exception. But it&#8217;s still the third-biggest contributor, to the tune of nearly $11 billion.<\/p>\n<p>4) The next category lumps the pro tours in with associations (both national and local) and player endorsements. When Tiger and Rory sign a lucrative deal with Nike, many people benefit. This bucket contributes $6.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>5) Need a new set of clubs? Although people haven&#8217;t been spending as much on golf supplies (including equipment and apparel) over the last few years, this space still accounts for $6.5 billion annually.<\/p>\n<p>6) Another thing to suffer due to the recent recession has been new course openings. And while not as much capital has exchanged hands, investors are still investing &#8211; nearly $1.8 billion on new course developments in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>7) The last thing on the list might surprise you, but believe it or not, the golf industry is a bit of a philanthropist. Be it a local charity tournament or other fund raising through various organizations within golf, the industry donates nearly $4 billion a year. Top that Bill Gates!<\/p>\n<p>This all adds up to that $176.8 billion indirect economic impact I mentioned earlier &#8211; and this is just within the United States! There&#8217;s no doubt golf contributes much more on a global scale.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you&#8217;re walking alone down a quiet fairway, just remember &#8211; every ball you lose; every dollar of your greens fees; every soft spike you wear-down contributes in some small way to the economic juggernaut that is the golf industry.<\/p>\n<p><i>The complete report can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.golf2020.com\/research\/economic-impact-reports.aspx\">HERE<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: 2011 Golf Economy Report (golf2020.com) Money circulates in, through and around the golf industry &#8211; that much you know.
