Abstract

The aim is to know the golf users´ global profile in mixed-social clubs (model of hybrid operation between private and business club) with 9-holes courses in Galicia, checking in what extent there are different types of users characterized on the basis of social demographic, attitudinal and motivational variables and related to the own practice of golf. Moreover, it will be analyzed the possible differences of gender, identifying their specific necessities. A total of 321 users of five golf clubs were interviewed by means of an ad hoc questionnaire. The findings show the existence of different profiles, with different attitudes and motivations. The results reveal a particular idiosyncrasy of the female segment in golf practice, with specific motivations and necessities. This type of data illustrates clearly the necessity for a more personalized organization and management of the current golf clubs.
