ABSTRACT:
This paper examines the effects which race, religion, gender, and socio-economic status have on three dimensions of people's participation in the sport of golf: participation versus non-participation; whether people play at private clubs or public courses; and the kinds of people golfers play with at private and public courses. Data are from previous research, popular sources such as golf magazines, and the author's personal observations. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for future research and an understanding of the role sports such as golf play in the overall structure of social inequalilty. Examines who plays golf and who doesn't, whether they play at private or public courses, and with whom they play. Data is from previous research, golf magazines and personal observations. Concludes that golf is a reflection of and active contributor of deeply rooted racial, religious, gender, and socio-economic divisions in society.
