I don't have an answer, but I know a few interesting things about golf that you may find interest in.\n\n1) How golf got its name: GOLF stands for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. Of course that male-only priviledge has recently changed to include women.\n\n2) In Japan, if you score a hole-in-one, you have to have hole-in-one insurance. The Japanese consider that if you have been fortunate enough to score a h.i.o., then you need to spread that fortune with others. If you don't have the insurance you could have to pay a lot of money, like a million dollars.

I think you need to narrow it down.  The rules go to the www.usga.org website.  Maybe you should look at the changes in golf clubs or the latest big move in golf www.playgolfamerica.com   You can find more information on the golf 20/0 website.  I have several on my blog roll.  All the so called golf industry leaders have developed some programs to promote golf to the masses.  You can find all the details on those sites.  This week is a week long promotion for women's golf.  They have another promotion called bring your daughter the golf course, and last month was the free golf lesson month.  You may have seen the TV adds with MLB, NBA, NFL and actors promoting golf.

About 40 thousand a year. The best players can make a little more.

Arguably Yes...look at the last round of the Greg Norman's epic collapse at the 1996 Masters and Nick Faldo shooting a cool 67 to win by 5 strokes. 3 Masters victories and 3 Open Championships = 6 Majors, which is a great golf career!\n\nNot winning a U.S. Open could be fodder for the nay sayers, but Nick played more Internationally than most European players these days.

If you are asking what it takes to get on the PGA Tour, you can either get in via "Q-School" or from one of the other "mini" tours (Nationwide, etc.) based on money list/wins.  Go here for more info : http://www.pgatour.com/qschool.\n\nIf you are interested in becoming a teaching professional, go to http://www.pga.com/home/pgaofamerica/ and follow the link to more information about becoming a PGA Professional.\n\nOf course, this is just for the US PGA.  Other tours, organizations (Europe, Asia, etc.) have other rules.

That is kind of amusing. This undoubtedly came about because there were some folks who understood "par" as a numerical goal but didn't know enough about golf to realize that being "below par" is a good thing!

I would go to the companies websites. They probably like to brag about how many pro players use their clubs. Or you could try a google search of individual players to get info on them.

3-1. Playing for Prize Money \n\nAn amateur golfer must not play golf for prize money or its equivalent in a match, competition or exhibition. \n\nNote: An amateur golfer may participate in an event where prize money or its equivalent is offered, provided that prior to participation he waives his right to accept prize money in that event. \n\n(Conduct contrary to the purpose and spirit of the Rules – see Rule 7-2.) \n(Policy on gambling – see Appendix.) \n\n\n\na. General \nAn amateur golfer must not accept a prize (other than a symbolic prize) or prize voucher of retail value in excess of $750 or the equivalent, or such a lesser figure as may be decided by the USGA. This limit applies to the total prizes or prize vouchers received by an amateur golfer in any one competition or series of competitions. \n\nException: A prize for a hole-in-one made while playing golf may exceed the above prize limit. \n\n  b. Exchanging Prizes\nAn amateur golfer must not exchange a prize or prize voucher for cash. \n\nException: An amateur golfer may submit a prize voucher to a state or regional golf association and thereafter be reimbursed from the value of that voucher for expenses incurred in participating in a golf competition, provided the reimbursement of such expenses is permitted under Rule 4-2.

Based on Sophia's Wikipedia link above, her 45% number is way off...according to the link "the sport is regularly enjoyed by over 26 million Americans and many more world-wide".  So, based off of a US population of +/-300 million people, it's less than 10%, which has been my experience in the golf business.

A LOT!!!  "As for Woods, his income in 2005 was pegged at more than $86 million - just under $12 million on the course, and $75 million off the course."

It all depends on where you wish to become a Member.\n\nI live in MA so I will give you a few examples.\nPlymouth just built a course,  1 Time fee is $95,000 and there are Dues.  Dues are paid every year.  those are $22,000.  Thats a very high end course.  \n\nThere is also a course in Taunton.  Its $5,000 to joing and $3,000 a Year.  They can go cheaper and they can go more expensive. \n\nIf you give the course a call that you are intrsted in joining they will help you out.  \n\nJust a side note.  Golf Courses are begging for memebers.  There are so many very nice public courses so the private are losing memebers every year.
