GOLF INDUSTRY & GOLFZON IN SOUTH KOREA
Number of golfers in South Korea has been growing gradually while the number of golfers in the U.S. has been declining steadily.
In Korea, golf is no longer considered as a symbol of luxurious sport only for the elders. The age of golfers is getting younger and now golf is in daily lives of young generation. Younger demographic leads the growth in total number of golfers in Korea.
The primary reason is exposure to simulators. The conversion rate to an 18-hole experience is an astounding 85 percent. Now, the number of golfers who played indoors, also called screen golfers in South Korea, exceeded that of on-courses since 2009.

Number of new golfers over the past one or two years surged by 34 percent, contributing to the overall number of golfers. Also, 85.5 percent of newbies with less than two years of experience are using screen golf bays.
According to the Golf Industry Report published by NGF, National Golf Foundation, when non-golfers are asked if they want to take up golf, 37 million Americans say they're either very interested or somewhat interested—that's up from 26.5 million in 2010.
And there is an evidence of the future of the golf, in Korea with GOLFZON.
