The Hard Facts

• Number of Rounds and Golfers Continues to
  Decline
• 3 drop between 2007( 29.5 million golfers) vs
  2008 (28.6 million golfers)

• Total rounds played declined by 1.8, many of
  those rounds from the core golfer segment

• Over the last two years, and for the first time
  in US history, more courses closed than opened

• Even with the increase in course closings, most
  US golf markets are still oversupplied with golf
  by at least 50

• The industry has done a poor job (at best) in
  retaining golfers once they enter the game and
  an even poorer job of attracting new players to
  the sport

• Across the country, golf has become a pay to
  play school sport, eliminating the opportunity
  (or desire) to participate for many students

WHY IS THIS MARKET SO SPECIAL?
In the US, there are over 26 million children
attending either private or public schools,
grades 5-12
If we can attract a mere 10 of those students
to golf each year, imagine the impact on the
game for the future
And THAT market isnt shrinking!
Golf, like the measles, should be caught young,
for, if postponed to riper years, the results may
be serious P.G. Wodehouse

A MEANS FOR GROWTH

• Utilize the greatest resource we have to raise
  the funding needed for growth..GOLF

• Provide the funding necessary to support and
  enhance high school golf team programs

• Improve the mentoring skills of those non PGA
  individuals who have the biggest direct impact on
  young golfers the high school golf coach.

• Introduce the game as a life sport where and
  when it makes the most sense.. to kids, as part
  of the PE curriculum, during their elementary,
  middle and high school years

Finally, a GOOD reason to offer an incentive to
golfers
Unlike all the coupon books, discount cards,
e-specials, tee time companies, and golf passes,
the Nex Gen Boosters Card will

• Directly fund a long-term industry growth
  initiative

• Provide the funding needed to make high school
  golf self sufficient and attract new kids to join

• Introduce the game to children in a structured
  program, providing their school the equipment and
  educational curriculum needed to keep kids
  interested and participating
