Abstract

This study explores the partial redirection of university extension services to the golf industry given the farmer-clientele's declining demand. Econometric results indicate that the clientele's demand depends on the golf facility's size, the managers' industry experience and the urgency of growth-, pest- and labor-related concerns.
