According to the Golf Research Group— the world’s leading golf research organization—there are 32,000 courses in 119 countries, with 59% of them located in the US that cater to approximately 56 million golfers annually. Golf Research further predicts an additional 7,000 new golf courses to be built over the next 10 years. Due to this emerging market, a number of different types of golf operation businesses have arisen to provide both the golf course supplier/operators and consumers with a broader spectrum of management and distribution systems that suit the various types of golf businesses. This project focuses on enhancing existing OpenTravel golf and other messages and creating new OpenTravel golf messages to support IT business functionality for golf course suppliers and online golf distributors.
