The Macali Communications Blog recently posted on a study conducted by the National Golf Foundation about golfers’ social technology participation habits. The report showed that most core golfers (those 18 years old and older who play eight or more rounds yearly) are online and email every day, and that 83% of those golfers go online just for fun or to pass the time. No wonder these social media sites are attracting golfers!
