Business leaders use golf as an important tool in doing business and say that it is extremely remunerative; for each dollar they spend on golf they earn over $1500 in business revenue as a result. Further, only restaurants surpass the golf course as an effective place to conduct business outside of the office, with hockey games, squash courts, tennis, and night clubs placing distant third fourth, fifth, and sixth place respectively.
