Peter Ryan, Ph.D. SRI International Golf’s Economic Impact Key Contributors: • GOLF 20/20 • The Virginia Golf Council • Major golf associations and organizations • Government agencies • Related professional associations • SRI International Golf’s Economic Impact Importance of State Golf Alliances: • Define the scope of the golf industry • Identify data sources and validate estimates • Provide context for data interpretation • Use economic impact results, in their own organizations, to improve the golf industry • Serve as enablers/influences for positive use of economic impact results outside of the golf industry • Influence governmental and organizational policy related to the golf industry Golf’s Economic Impact The Challenge—Develop a Framework to: • Illustrate and communicate the full scope of the golf industry • Create a context for golf’s economic impact in a state (relative to other industries and consumers of natural resources) • Employ multiple data sources and measures to capture the industry from both internal and external perspectives • Enable replication over time, within state, and across states—“compare apples to apples” • Stay cost effective, in part, by evaluating and using data from golf and non-golf organizations collected on regular cycles Golf’s Economic Impact The Approach: • Meet and collaborate with state alliance to identify/validate economic estimates • Identify multiple indicators for each industry segment • Use both primary and secondary sources to reach “consensus estimates” • Estimate economic activity directly related to the golf industry The Golf Economy The Golf Cluster Golf Facility Operations • • • • Golf Course Capital Investment Irrigation Installation Course Renovations Media, Tournaments, Associations & Charities Green fees, memb. dues Food & beverage Lessons, schools, camps Rentals Charities Player Endorsements Television Tournaments Clubhouse Renovations Associations Infrastructure Improvements Golfer Supplies Equipment / Golf Car Purchases (on and off course) New Course Construction Soft Goods Apparel Hard Goods Core Industries Books & Magazines Enabled Industries Hospitality/Tourism Air Travel Car Rental Real Estate Entertainment Lodging Source: SRI International (2002).
