Abstract:
With basketball such a dominant sport in the state, it's easy to forget the little, round, white golf ball, made popular by retirees, vacationers, and the state's professional golfers. So popular is the game that between 1990 and 1999, golf courses in North Carolina grew from 474 to 589. The state now ranks ninth nationwide, and more courses will be built in 2000. All of this is good for golfers, because it makes developers create better courses to keep the players coming back.

Abstract:
The number of women golfers is increasing statewide. However, a survey of fourteen women members of the NORTH CAROLINA magazine Golf Panel indicates that a number of women do not feel welcome at golf clubs. They find it difficult in getting a Saturday tee time and in getting a sandwich in the \"men's\" grill. Locker rooms are not always equal to men's, and awkward red tee placements make it difficult to reach the greens without going into front bunkers.

Abstract:
In the hierarchy of the state's top ten golf courses, positions are slow to change. In 2000, Pinehurst No. 2 and the Old North State Club continue their first and second place rankings. However, in the next eight positions, courses change rankings or drop off the list, while new courses make an appearance. Rankings were determined by balloting by the NORTH CAROLINA magazine Golf Panel.
