Sun-Up to Sun-Down : The Lives or Golf Course Owners

This book reveals the personal stories of a diverse set of American entrepreneurs who by one path or another own golf courses. Over 26 million recreational golfers and the golf industry annually provided some 2 million jobs with an impact on the U.S. economy of $195 billion per annum. These stories focus on the entrepreneurs building or acquiring golf courses, their biggest achievements and challenges, and their perspectives on past, present and future trends in ownership and management within the golf industry. Their stories attest to their perseverance, breadth of skills, and passion for the business of golf and the game of golf, and are as varied as the personalities of the people themselves.
