About WE'RE TENNIS WE'RE GOLF was established four years back, partly since it had become clear the was misunderstood by way too many elected officials. Longstanding perceptions of the overall game merely didnat square with the facts. By concentrating on the almost two million Americans whose livelihoods are linked with tennis, WE ARE GOLF has leveled the playing field for the 1000s of small businesses which make up the industry. As tennis isn't any longer being excluded from important legislation, a result. Members of Congress now better understand the myriad benefits the game brings for their areas. The almost two million U.S. jobs created by the $69 million golf industry, and its great financial reach, are at the core of WE ARE GOLFaS concept. Given the scope and rate of government action and the impact on small enterprises, the golf business may play an essential role as policymakers keep on efforts to boost employment and get the nationas economy back on track.A Beyond better representing golfas powerful economic clout, WE ARE GOLF shows the industryas health and wellness benefits, its unparalleled charitable giving, and its environmental sustainability initiatives.
