Golf club submissions were 2,500 in 2008 (as opposed to 500 a year in the 1990s). There are so many clubs these days that it's very hard for someone to find the right golf clubs.

There is a commonly held belief that golf is the exclusive realm of rich entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is also still seen as an excluding sport that is not easily accessible by ordinary blue collared employees. However, this is not really true any more as modernization and commercialization have brought these so-called elite sports into the reach of everyone.
