Initially golf had spread from Scotland into the rest of the UK and then to the British Empire and the US in the late 19th century. In the past years, golf has gained importance in many other countries, including some of the emerging nations, especially China. The US, Japan and the Europe are the three major markets for golf worldwide.
Golf is a game that depends highly on the discretionary spending of the consumers. The industry gets adversely affected if the golfers reduce their spending due to the continued job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, higher consumer debt and interest rates, reduced access to credit, falling home prices and lower consumer confidence. All these factors make golf highly correlated to the general economic conditions prevailing worldwide. The negative impact of the US sub-prime crisis, which started in late 2007 and had impacted almost all the industries of the world, did not even spare the golf industry as people trimmed their spending on the leisure and recreational activities. This led to a decline in the number of golfers as well as the total expenditure done on the sport in the last few years.
The golf industry, both the equipment manufacturing as well as golf retailing is quite fragmented. As a matter of fact, the major golf equipments generally have a life cycle of two years or less, and therefore, the introduction of new products has a significant impact on the golf industry. The favoring demographics as well as the expected increasing income of the people is likely to boost up the golf market in future. But there are many issues which are to be dealt with in the golf industry, and the major ones include, the impact of the downturn of the economy, and the seasonal nature of the business. Attracting and retaining women golfers has also been a challenge for the industry.
