Golf History

The Romans during the reign of Caesar played a game resembling golf by striking a feather-stuffed ball with club-shaped branches. Book illustrations show the Dutch playing a similar game on their frozen canals around the 15th century. Cross-country variations became popular in France and Belgium.
Golf became firmly established in Great Britain by the 17th century when James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, was attracted to the sport. In 1860 the first British Open was played at Prestwick, Scotland. The competition was opened to both professionals and amateurs the following year.
The first permanent golf club in North America, Canada`s Royal Montreal Club, was founded in 1873. St. Andrews, one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States, was established as a 3-hole layout in 1888 at Yonkers, New York. During the next few years numerous 6, 8, 9, and 12-hole courses were opened in the East. The first 18-hole course in the United States, the Chicago Golf Club, was founded near Wheaton, Illinois in 1893. For more recent information about golf, review the links below:

About Golf in the United States Today

How many golfers are there in the U.S.?
There are 26.2 million golfers in the United States. A golfer is defined as anyone ages 18 and above who played at least one regulation round of golf in the past 12 months. 36.7 million Americans are golf participants, defined as anyone ages 5 and above who either played a round of golf or visited a golf practice facility.
More than 45 percent of golfers (11.9 million) are between the ages of 18 and 39. Seniors (ages 50 and over) comprise another 33 percent or 8.6 million.
There are 5.76 million female golfers, which is 22 percent of all golfers.
There are 6.1 million junior golfers ages 5-17 who have either played a round of golf or visited a golf practice facility.
How many golf facilities are there in the U.S.?
As of December 31, 2004 there were 16,057 facilities, 11,690 of which were open to the public. A facility is a complex containing at least one golf course.
The states with the most golf facilities are as follows:
Florida (1,073)
California (925)
Texas (857)
Michigan (852)
New York (822)
Another way to look at golf supply is in 18-hole equivalents (the number of holes divided by 18). As of year-end 2004, there were 14,988 18-hole equivalents (or 269,784 golf holes). Last year, a total of 150.5 new 18-hole equivalents came online across the U.S., of which 68 percent were open to the public.
At the end of 2004, there were 1,141 18-hole equivalents in the construction pipeline, including 320 under construction, 409.5 in planning and 261 proposed.
About 50 percent of golf holes currently under construction will be part of a residential community, but only 22 percent of total holes are part of a golf community.
How much do golfers spend?
Golfers spent $24.3 billion in 2002 on equipment and fees.
They spent $19.7 billion on public and private green fees and dues in 2002, which accounted for 81 percent of all spending. They spent $4.7 billion on equipment (clubs, balls, bags, gloves, shoes).
Avid golfers (25+ rounds annually) make up the smallest player segment (23 percent), but accounted for 63 percent of all golf-related spending in 2002.
What is the average golfer`s score and has it changed much over the years?
NGF research shows that only 22 percent of all golfers regularly score better than 90 for 18 holes on a regulation length course. For females, the percentage is just 7 percent...and for males it is 25 percent.
The average 18-hole score on a full-size course is 97 for men and 114 for women. It`s an even 100 for all golfers. Only 6 percent of the men and 1 percent of the women say they break 80 regularly.
When asked what they`d like to shoot, most golfers say they`d be satisfied if they could shoot 85 on an 18-hole regulation course on a regular basis.
The average scores have changed very little over the years.
What percentage of today`s golfers maintain a handicap?
Less than 20% of all golfers maintain a handicap, which averages 19-20.
What is the average green fee at a public golf course?
The median cost of a weekend round of golf at an 18-hole municipal golf course in the U.S. is $36 including cart and green fee. (Median means that half the values fall below $36 and half above.) At a daily fee course it`s $40.
The average 18-hole daily fee golf course records 30,000 rounds per year, employs a total of 13 full-time people and brings in about $992,000 in total revenues. Nine-hole courses average 17,000 rounds and have four employees.
What are the most popular travel destinations for golfers?
Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, California and Arizona are the most popular travel destinations for golfers.
Golfers spend about $26.1 billion a year on golf travel, 75 percent of which goes to the hotel, transportation and food and beverage industries.
How many of today`s golfers actually live on a golf course?
Approximately 3.7 million or 15 percent of all golfers are permanent residents of a golf course community. And, eight out of 10 of these golfers own their residences.
Another 3 percent of all golfers own a residence on a golf course that they use as a vacation home or rent out as investment property.
How many minority golfers are there in the U.S.?
According to a study conducted by NGF in 2003, there are:
1.3 million African-American golfers ages 18+
1.1 million Asian-American golfers age 18+
965,000 Hispanic-American golfers age 18+(Note: Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.)

BIOSKINCARE

Is your face “crying” for a skin cream to take care of facial dryness, spots, pimples, rashes, dullness, inflamm-aging... or worrying skin conditions?
Is it now hyper-sensitive because of plain aggravated neglect, or more than its fair share of abuse?

Our face is always exposed nude to solar radiation and insults from the environment and since it is with no doubt one of our most delicate and visible assets it sure needs care, does it not?

Now, not just any care. It needs loving care and thus a little dedication and a few wise decisions.

What would your future be if you are encouraged to take heed of what your skin is telling you? Or if you convince yourself that it is in your best interest to follow a routine daily regimen that uses just ONE product for a lifetime of healthy, glowing skin.

Of course it couldn't be very cheap stuff, but we are sure you may be willing to be generous with yourself and invest a few cents a day to maintain and protect that cherished asset of yours, for years to come, in unblemished shape and looks.

You've also got to be willing to dedicate a few minutes a day, twice a day everyday, if you really want a luminescent, glowing skin complexion. Don't believe anyone with beautiful, flawless skin who tells you they "don't do anything." Unless they're part of the 1% of those genetically blessed with perfect skin, we have the right to believe we do not understand the same plain English.

Skin glows beautifully if it is healthy, and if you are healthy. A lot of water, some exercise, the right nutrients, and a daily facial skin care routine is the sure way to get that healthy glow.

This skin cream is designed to gently ditch out damaged cells of your skin regularly. Not only will you slough off that dulling, dead, outermost layer of skin that is less than a micron thick, regularly. But, you will keep the circulation flowing in your body alive, which will rejuvenate you and your skins vibrancy.

This can be achieved with ONE complete and balanced skin cream made with a natural substance that gently dissolves or "digests" damaged and worn out cells and triggers the regeneration of healthy skin cells – Bioskincare –

Bioskincare is a 100% pure skin cream that regenerates your skin and also works to keep it moisturized, vigorous, smooth, kissable and rescilient. It provides results on the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, redness, acne, dark sun spots, facial blemishes, – even acne scarring, surgical scars and body stretch marks that you have lived with a long time will appear softer and be less noticeable. This skin cream mobilizes your body's own healing resources to maximize the effectiveness of the biological ingredients it supplies.

“Bioskincare has done a fantastic job for my facial scars. I never thought that something this wonderful could actually live up to it's promises. It sounded like it was too good to be true at first, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Well needless to say this is my second order of two jars and I absolutely LOVE IT. I saw results on my acne scars in about three weeks time. I can't wait to get my next order..... This stuff is great!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Courtney Barth”. Ohio, USA

“I have been using Bioskincare cream for two months now and I can’t believe the difference! I’m excited to wake up every morning and see the changes in my skin.” Kara Potts. Salt Lake City, UT, US.

“This cream works great. It seems so natural and potent. I put the cream on the back of my neck after cutting my braids off and it removed my bumps and scars within 2 weeks. I also use it on the little bumps on my forehead and it does wonders”. Chris Roberson. CA, USA

“I got to say how I love how easily absorbed this cream is. It goes right into your skin and does not leave that shiney or greasy look or feel on your skin. This is the only skin lotion that I have found like that. Everything I have tried leaves me either shiney or greasy which I hate”. Diane E. WY, USA,

“I've been using Bioskincare Cream for just over two months and there is a noticeable difference with my skin. My usually extremely acne prone skin has calmed down a LOT, and though I do still get outbreaks, they usually disappear when I apply more of the product on. I'm now trying to fade out my facial pigmentation, dark spots caused by the sun I think. Fingers crossed that this miracle cream can do that as well! ” Michelle Doran. Hong Kong.

“My dermatologist told me there was really nothing I could do for my Keloid scars. Even with surgery there is a good chance the scarring would return. After using Bioskincare, the improvement I’ve seen has been nothing short of a miracle!” David Starks, New York.

“I have been clearing up a number of Actinic Keratosis with Folic Acid, B12, B17 and Aloe vera gel over almost 10 years. The Bioskin Cream appears as though it will clear the remains up within 2-3 weeks. A significant lesion appeared as a result of the Aloe Vera etc treatment and although it has gradually been diminishing, there has been far greater change in 1 week with Bioskincare than the last 9 months. Peter Melvelle“. NSW, Australia

“I have had brain surgery and two cervical disks transplants. At the rate that this product is working, people won't even be able to tell in under a year. Now that's amazing“. Janet M. Liston. Idaho, USA.

“My dermatologist was totally out of resources for me when he told me about Bioskincare. It is the only thing that has made my awful facial rash calm down. It is not totally gone yet, but after just one tub of Bioskincare, it is 60% better. I hope it will soon be 100%. Thank you! Vanessa Kuhn”. IN, USA.

“I love your product. I have been using it for 3 months now. I am allergic to most products that make skin look more youthful and yours has no reaction whatsover. Plus my skin is great....it glows and I barely have to wear any make up! Thanks for a great product. Susan Miller”. Texas, USA

“I have used this product to treat acne and inflammation and it is the best out there. I highly recommend it. I love the cream. It's excellent even for very sensitive skin such as mine. It literally stops a breakout and decreases inflammation overnight!” Stacey Baptiste. New York

“I ordered the cream last month and started to use it on my arms. I have keratosis pilaris and have already tried lots of other products but nothing ever worked. I'm very happy to have found your cream because my arms have never been as smooth before. My skin has cleared up and I hope it will continue to work so well! I would also like to try the cream on my stretchmarks.” Evelyne Vogt. Reinach, Switzerland

“This product is reconditioning my facial skin. It reduces the size of my pores and I find that it really speeds exfoliation and skin renewal. It has partially removed scarring on my face. I have also used it on my forearms to lessen dark spots from the sun and to improve scarring. Lynn Nelson”. IA, USA

“I have been using BIOSKINCARE on my son for 5 weeks and my husband and I have noticed a dramatic difference in the texture and appearance of his skin. My son is two and a half years old and suffered a third degree burn to his right shoulder after pulling a kettle of boiling over himself when he was 20 months old! Thank you for your miraculous cream and for putting a smile back on our faces again! You have created wonders for us so far, hence I feel devoted to you! With many thanks and best wishes! Maeve Quinn”. United Kingdom.

“This is order no. 3 --send jars 5 and 6 quickly!! I have faithfully been using your Bioskin cream twice a day for the past 9 months. I love it and the way it has made my facial skin smoother, brighter, younger looking! Debora Cousins” South Carolina, USA

“I can't believe how well your product works. When I ordered for the first time for acne scars I was skeptical about any results. Let me say that this is my 5th order. I have never ordered anything that has worked as well as the BIOSKINCARE cream. I had major acne scars and discoloration on my back. My back is almost at 90% recovery in 7 months of use. I estimate that 4 more jars should do the trick. My friend also tried a jar and now is ordering his own. Thank you very much. Kindest Regards” Ash Hassab. Illinois, USA

“I am 21 years old and in the passed year, for some unknown reason, have began breaking out and broke my bank account trying to stop it. You name it, I've tried it: ProActiv, $20 face wash, masks, peels, prescriptions, ointments and all without success. My skin is insanely sensitive and I was developing scars which, in my opinion, are worse than the acne itself because they take forever to fade. But until I could control the break outs -I was told- I couldn't do anything to stop the scarring. I found BIOSKINCARE online and thought, why not? The theory makes sense. And it's nice to see an almost all-natural product on the market because, more than anything, my skin is too sensitive to take the chemicals in other treatments. Instantly my skin was softer and smoother and after 2 months of use, the breakouts have completely stopped and the scars have faded considerably. My skin feels great and I feel great about it! And I feel confident buying BIOSKINCARE online, the customer service has been wonderful. Thanks a million!” F.S. Hafford, Canada.

“Have definitely noticed a difference on my skin since using the cream. Its helped my facial acne scars. Almost finished my first jar never thought I would be buying more as I did not believe it would work. However I think that using this product over a period of time it will really help my appearance. Thankyou. W Anderson. Co. Antrim” Ireland.



Stay with us to learn the most important beauty secret you will ever know – one that will lead you to a lifetime of healthy skin. We guarantee you’ve never heard anything like it!

What is the mysterious secret ingredient in Bioskincare that produces such amazing results?

BIOSKINCARE is made with the ONLY all-natural ingredient found in NATURE created by little land snails that are abundant in most vineyards, and use it themselves to repair their skin whenever damaged and to trigger the proliferation of antimicrobail peptides to avoid beeing affected by attacks from opportunistic micro-organisms always ready to intrude when skin is injured. Now, isn't that truly amazing! As a result, snails never suffer from skin infections – can you imagine?

Snails also use it to moisturize, repair, renews and protect their skin while they thrive exposed nude to the sun rays and the hazards of the environment, pretty much like we merry around exposing our nude face. It is also the mechanism they use to protect their body from oxygen radicals when they go out of their shell after hibernating and from the damaging effects of solar radiation.

Land snails crawl over a variety of potentially contaminated surfaces and the snail foot could be the primary site of entry for pathogens, parasites and a range of opportunistic organisms, so it is not much wonder they must have a defensive system to protect them. Such mechanism is a silvery secretion they produce whenever they are under stress and different than the one they leave behind while crawling.

Since the 19th century there has been a renewed interest in the pharmaceutical and medical use of snails, particularly for dermatological applications.

But the most common purpose for raising snails in modern times has been for food. That is, until a snail farm in Chile noticed that their snail handlers had exceptionally smooth hands, and any cuts or abrasions to their hands healed unusually quickly and without scars.

Scientific screening of the components of the snail's threapeutic fluid has shown it contains peptides that form pores in microbial membranes and disrupt their integrity while at the same time they trigger skin regeneration. The fluid is a biological complex compound of glyco or sugar chain molecules bound to proteins, peptides, enzymes, coenzymes and Copper, Calcium, Zinc and Iron present in nanomolecular amounts as trace oligoelements. Using proprietary technology, no harm is inflicted upon the snails during the collection process.

Screening also shows that the skin of these little creatures is made of the same structures present in human skin: — the same collagen and elastin connective tissues, and the same water holding glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan molecules, etc.—. No wonder it works so well for a large array of those bothersome skin afflictions we humans suffer from.
