Golf is popular among executives from distinguished companies because playing this sport is a bit pricey. Unlike basketball, golf is played with calm, patience and silence; and cheering squads or furry mascots are nonexistent during the game. At times though, golf spectators burst into cheers and uproar of laughter when a golfer hits a hole in one. Not many are drawn into golf because of the notion that it is only for high income earners while others perceived it is a pretty boring sport. However, the rise of Tiger Woods and the mainstream media’s constant coverage of his impressive wins have influenced other youngsters to try out golf.

Thus, shops offering a variety of youth golf equipment designed for young golfers quickly emerged in the market. There were also reports on the uphill climb in the number of junior golfers in the US, UK and in Asia. The golf games and golf tutorials on the internet as well as golf games in PSPs are suspected to bring more interest to this sport.
