Critics label golf an elitist game that sucks up natural resources and hurts the environment. Advocates for North Carolina’s golf industry answered those charges and made a positive case for golf’s economic impact during a presentation for the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society.
The video clip below features comments from: Chris Valauri, lobbyist for the N.C. Golf Alliance; Caleb Miles, president and CEO of the Pinehurst Southern Pines Aberdeen Area Convention and Visitors Bureau; and Del Ratcliffe, president of the N.C. Golf Course Owners Association.
