Of the nation's 12.8 million "core" golfers -- those who play at least eight times a year -- about 2.5 million are women. From 1990 to 2004, the annual growth rate for adult core golfers was 2.4 percent for women, more than double the 1.1 percent growth for men.
The difference was even more pronounced among adult occasional golfers in the same time period, who numbered 14.6 million by 2004. The growth rate of women playing one to seven rounds a year was 4.3 percent, compared to 1.7 percent for men.
"It is true that the golf market in general has been flat for a few years and that the two growing sections of the market over the last couple of years are women and younger girls!
