Singapore (December 4): The World Golf Foundation recently re-launched its web site, and is asking golfers around the world to help in identifying key statistics local to every country in the world. The focus of the re-launch is on adding golf information from around the world, which the WGF says will be an ongoing process.
In the “Golf around the world” section, if a visitor clicks on the Canadian flag, a summary of golf in Canada, complete with links to that country's major golf organizations and associations, pops up. So far only the Canadian flag is live, with more countries to be added over the course of 2010.
“The World Golf Foundation is dedicated to supporting the growth of the game worldwide, and that includes being a source of information on the state of the game in each of those 118 countries,” the Web site states. “This is a formidable research project which has begun and will never totally be completed, and we welcome any and all outside contributions to this effort.”
The site seeks help in such information as the number of golfers in each country, the number of golf facilities in each country and the local government’s view on the game of golf.
For those who would like to help the WGF fill in this information, email Jennifer Weiler at the World Golf Foundation:jweiler@worldgolffoundation.org. To visit the site, click on www.worldgolffoundation.org.
