The Development of Golf in the USA: Past Trends and Impact Factors

Abstract

In the USA (a developed market), recent research highlights golf’s significant role in enhancing mental well-being, especially for those who are aged 35-49, as the games provide them with a way to escape from everyday stress [1]. During the pandemic, golf courses became even more essential, with surveys showing that nearly every 97% of U.S. golf facilities organised at least one entertainment program or initiative in 2022, which improves the quality of life within their communities.
