In 2015, 2.2 million people tried golf for the first time. That is a lot of people and a lot of money to be made. If you are interested in cashing in on that market, why not consider a golf franchise? Golf is more affordable than ever for consumers, which helps explain why more people are trying the sport. The market for a golf-related franchise is big, making it a great opportunity for an entrepreneur with a love of the sport or a background in golf.
