Golf Market Report: 2010 Edition -- New Report by Koncept Analytics

Aug. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Golf has been a popular game in many parts of the world during the past few decades. The sales of golf equipments worldwide decreased in 2009 as compared to 2008 as the people trimmed their expenditures. Also the number of golf courses closed in 2009 was more than the openings. The number of rounds played has been relatively flat from the past five years.

The golf consumer confidence which declined in 2008 has been expected to recover in 2010. Also, the ageing population and the increasing disposable income would certainly have a positive impact on the golf industry worldwide. Focus on research and development in golf to develop new equipments has increased which has brought many technological changes in the golf industry.
