“…Just as an example, the dress code defined in the rules of the game and societal expectations was very rigid and for a long time, limitative of female performances: ''in the 1890s the majority of women golfers complied with what was expected and appeared in clothing which hampered to some degree their style of play'' (George, 2009, p. 335). Vamplew (2010) advances a contextualisation of the beginning of golf within this strict society referring to the exclusion of women from clubhouses. Further, George et al (2007) and George (2009) highlight gender discrimination in golf, providing a consistent historical perspective of constraints women had to face in order to play.…”

Purpose – In the late eighteenth century, golf emerged as a men's game. Since then, women have striven to play, yet without success. A ratio of around 80 percent of male players against 20 percent female proves that women are far from being accepted in golf. This study, supported by qualitative analyses of women golfers' life stories, attempts to evaluate to what extent this prejudice exists. Design/methodology/approach – The ecological system theory, the causal historical wave model, the intrapersonal, interpersonal and structural factors, and the constraints/facilitators paradigm were first used to support the theoretical model that was defined based on the literature. Second, the model was revisited according to textual data collected from 25 narratives of women in the nineteenth century. The present research applies this model throughout a set of six life stories of contemporary Portuguese women who excelled in golf, attempting to test the persistence of this discrimination. Findings – The results highlight that structural and interpersonal factors persist across time. Some aspects of women's lifestyle did not change much since some cultural values are difficult to overcome. The research highlights that the exclusion of women, more than explicit discrimination, is a cultural factor engrained in their daily lives, meaning that women exclude themselves, tacitly accepting this discrimination. Research limitations/implications – The research focuses only on Portuguese women. Further studies should evaluate the pertinence of these factors amongst other nationalities and cultures. Originality/value – The low participation of women in golf is acknowledged by golf stakeholders in Portugal, but this has not been the object of research; thus, to the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper about this subject in Portugal.

“…He also suggested the industrial revolution in 1890 (Ceron-Anaya, 2010) brought with it the fact that to increase productivity people could divide their time between work and leisure (Veblen, 2011). It is suggested that different levels of income will lead to different types of sports and there is no doubt that golf is related to financial status (Neo, 2010;Parker, 2012;Reis & Correia, 2013;Vamplew, 2010). Therefore, the following hypothesis is proposed: H3: The cultural factor has a positive influence on the golf industry in China in relation to the feature of luxury product.…”

This study aims to investigate the key market growth factors for golf development in China as a luxury product. After nearly 30 years of development, China now has the largest golf complex in the world and in recent years the market is growing at its fastest pace. Due to rapid economic growth and the emergence of a large number of wealthy people, it has been argued that the consumption of luxury will increase. However, little research has been carried out to answer the question why a foreign game could develop so robustly, and the key factors that have contributed to its growth in relation to its unique features. Both questionnaire and in-depth interviews were adopted in the study. Valid questionnaire responses were collected from 213 golf managers in China. The results were supported by evidence from interviews with 5 experienced golf course managers who have worked in several golf courses around China. It is found that that the economic and cultural factors are the key market growth factors for the development of golf as a luxury product in China. The findings also discuss how political, economic, cultural, technological, geographic and environmental factors are influencing current and future golf development. This paper will help practitioners to understand their external business environment and implement innovative strategies.

“…Golf is historically consecrated as a sport practice exclusive of high social and economic classes, and so, has found many obstacles to claim itself as a popular sport (Vamplew, 2010). This dimension is also a determining factor to realize the level of integration/rejection that golf assumes in social context.…”

The research on the problem of golf is essentially limited to environmental issues, and socioeconomic and cultural ones are usually neglected. In southern European countries where tourism is mainly dependent on "sun & sea", golf courses supply is becoming more and more relevant, considering its balance facing "sun & sea" low seasons. However, these countries have a poor cultural identification with golf, despite its relevance to attract international tourism markets (Marckwick, 2000;Neirotti, 2005). This paper presents a demand side approach of the phenomenon, framing golf and its dynamics as a business supported in two distinct demand profiles: international tourist golfers and local leisure golfers-. To develop this analysis we take and compare different statistical sources.The paper takes Portugal, a main international golf tourism destination, as a case study in the context of the countries of southern Europe. The comparison of statistical data on supply and demand of golf in Portugal is the basis for a reflection on the golf demand development.
