Do you love sport ? Do you eat breathe live golf ? Here’s your chance to equip yourself to work with the largest eagles in the industry such as IMG, IGU, Toro Systems, Evolution Golf and at golf courses designed by world leaders such as Nicklaus Design, Pacific Coast Design, Arnold Palmer Design …
In the last 10 years, 38 golf courses have been affiliated to the IGU, of which 30 were new developments and the remaining eight as re-developments of existing military courses. This has been a very slow growth rate for the last decade, however based on a research by leading global golf industry consultants; there are currently as many as 30 courses and several driving ranges/academies under construction.
The population of India stands at 1.2 billion. The estimated population of India with a disposable annual income of more than USD 10,000 is approximately 1.5% of the total population, resulting in a potential golf target market of 18 million. The proportion of active golfers from this population is 0.8%.Assuming that in the next 10 years, the proportion of active golfers doubles to 300,000, then India would have to build between 90-100 new courses to accommodate the increased demand.
This suggests that India may need to build up to 100 new courses to satisfy the demand over the next decade. An increase in participation can be achieved by:
• Building more affordable and accessible facilities
• Increasing activity in junior and academy golf
• Effectively promoting professional golf to a wider audience.
The IGU has taken positive steps to ensure the development of golf in years to come. A joint venture with the R&A and IGU saw the creation of the National Golf Academy, intent on improving the standards of teachers, players, trainers and course managers.
Future course development seems inevitable and may need to come hand-in-hand with real estate opportunity. Provided that the challenges of lack of professional expertise and knowledge within the Indian golf industry that exist in India can be overcome, there is great potential in this growing golf market.
In the quest for innovation, the International School of Corporate Management (ISCOM), Pune has now entered the niche area of Golf to conduct a full time course in “Golf Management” that will equip its participants to effectively manage a Golf & Country Club type environment.
ISCOM has tied up with Elmwood College, St. Andrews, Scotland, U.K as knowledge partners for the conduct of the Post Graduate Programme in Golf Management.
