** Estimated impacts for golf courses include total revenues
from all golf course operations, including facility restaurants and gift
shops, as well as employees who staff non-golf operations, such as facility
restaurants and gift shops. On the other hand, the number of golf courses
is recognized to be underestimated by about 34 percent because of unique
classification problems with that sector.
