  That promise might end up driving more customers into pro shops and sporting goods stores this year, said Tom Stine, partner for Golf Datatech, a market-research company based in Kissimmee.
  
  "New technology, particularly visible new technology, always creates a buzz for golfers and their interest in new equipment," Stine said.

  "In today's challenging economic climate, where growth in the game of golf is stagnant, the potential to grow the women's market is a higher priority than ever before, and efforts to cultivate and expand this segment are being considered and executed widely across the industry," said Tom Stine, Partner, Golf Datatech, LLC.
  
  "As a result of the need to grow the game, we undertook this extensive study so that companies both in and out of the industry can truly understand the perceptions, experiences and buying habits of the all-important serious women's golf sector."
  
  Adds Stine, "While women's golf presents a major growth opportunity for the industry, this study makes it clear that significant roadblocks must be overcome to consistently increase women's participation in the game."
  ...
  "While over 50% of the U.S. population is female, less than 25% of total golfers are women," said Stine.
  ...
  "To effectively tap into the women's market, golf courses, golf professionals, equipment manufacturers and all other engrained constituencies must make the game more accessible and welcoming to the female player," adds Stine.

  In developing the Women's Golf Market Study, over 1,000 female golfers from Golf Datatech's exclusive database of Serious Golfers (a minimum of 12 rounds per year) participated in a survey regarding their golfing habits and perceptions, which was conducted in November of 2008. While a majority of female respondents to this study live active lifestyles and boast an average household income of six figures, an equal majority cited cost, time and family constraints as reasons preventing them from playing golf more frequently. Beyond those factors, which inhibit play, almost one in three female respondents considered the average golf course to be "a very male oriented place" which inhibits more frequent play.

  But when the United States Golf Association ultimately ruled this setup "nonconforming," the putter sank, since even golfers who have no intention of playing in a club tournament don't want to be ostracized for using unapproved equipment. (Besides, noted Tom Stine of Golf Datatech, the Pelz putter "looked like it was made in your garage.") The 2-Ball's U.S.G.A. approval meant you can get non-skill-related improvement to your game without being accused of cheating.

  Nationally, the golf industry has shown signs of weakening, said Tom Stine, a spokesman for Golf Data­tech, a market research firm that tracks the industry.
  
  However, rounds of golf played in the Houston area for the first two months of this year were up 19.3 percent over the same time last year, Stine said, although weather could be a partial reason for the big increase.

  "We hesitate to overreact by calling one period a trend, but the numbers are going in the right direction," said Tom Stine, co-founder of Golf Datatech, which tracks retail sales for a range of golf clients.
  
  Golf Datatech has already determined that 2003 golf retail sales were up 1.8 percent over 2002, to $2.4 billion in the United States, which equaled sales in 2001.
  
  Stine said his firm has determined that total golf rounds played in the United States increased in the first quarter over 2003.The number was to be released late last week, but he said it was slightly lower than the National Golf Foundation's recently announced figure of 5 percent.

  "It isn't recession proof, but neither does it have those 20 percent or 30 percent peaks and valleys that some other industries have," says Tom Stine, a co-founder of Golf Datatech, a leading industry statistic-keeper. Golf rounds played this year were down 1.4 percent through September, the latest month for which data are available, and retail spending on equipment was down 3.4 percent, according to Golf Datatech. "That's down, but it's not that bad," Mr. Stine said.
  
  The game's resistance to economic swings is rooted in the avidity of its core players, who number (depending on the definition applied) from eight million to 12 million, out of 29.5 million U.S. golfers total, according to the National Golf Foundation. "Golf is their passion, it's what they do, it's central to their lives," Mr. Stine says.
