 R&A
har gjennomført en større undersøkelse om sakte spill
14.05 Sakte spill:
En stor undersøkelse viser
interessante resultater
Sakte spill er et tema som opptar mange golfspillere, klubber og forbund. R&A
har gjort en omfattende undersøkelse i denne sammenheng.
Undersøkelsen viser blant annet at folk flest stort sett er fornøyde med tiden
det tar å spille golf. Likevel skulle 60% ønsket at det tok mindre tid.
Rapporten viser at de som er mellom 25 og 44 år er mest ivrige på å bruke mindre
tid. Arbeid, familie og tidsfaktoren var de viktigste årsakene til at folk ikke
spilte mer golf.
The R&A ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF PACE OF PLAY SURVEY AND PLANS FOR INDUSTRY FORUM
27 April 2015, St Andrews, Scotland: The R&A has announced the results of a pace
of play survey, with an industry forum to discuss the findings planned for later
in the year.
The survey received more than 56,000 responses from golfers in 122 countries
between September 2014 and March 2015. It was carried out by The R&A as part of
its efforts to investigate the issues affecting golf and the extent to which
they impact on participation in the sport.
The survey revealed that while 70% of golfers are largely happy with the
duration of their rounds, 60% of golfers expressed the view that they would
enjoy golf more if they played in less time.
Importantly, of the 25-44 year-olds who said that they were never happy with
pace of play, 21% said that golf would need to take as much as one-and-a-half
hours less for them to play more often. Of the 8,468 golfers in this age range
who responded, 19% said they would welcome the opportunity to play nine holes
more often as an alternative format.
The survey found that the two biggest factors preventing people from playing
golf are work commitments (34%) and family commitments (29%) with the time taken
to play (16%) ranked third. Other factors mentioned were alternative hobbies
(12%), cost of play (7%), difficulty of play (1%) and cost of equipment (1%);
although there were some regional variations on these percentages.
The R&A is organising a forum later this year where it will invite contributions
from a range of organisations in golf on addressing pace of play and explore the
key areas of player behaviour, management approaches and golf course issues.
Duncan Weir, Executive Director – Working for Golf at The R&A, said, “This
survey is the first step for us in examining, in detail, the wide range of
issues currently affecting participation in golf. There is plenty of anecdotal
evidence available but we conducted the survey to obtain accurate data on how
much of an issue pace of play is for golfers and to give us an insight into what
they see as the main factors contributing to slow rounds.
“We feel that the next step in this process is to engage with our partners
throughout the golf industry to look at these findings and invite them to
contribute their views to these important discussions. Our forum later this year
will provide the opportunity for these discussions to take place.”
The R&A distributed the survey through its affiliated bodies around the world
and it was offered in six languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese
and Spanish.
