It wouldf be nice to figure out a way to get peoplre tostop building." Industry observers said there is no question that golf is populaer in the state. There are currently 737,000 individual golfers in Wisconsin, makinbg the state second in the number of golfers per capita in the according to theProfessionall Golfers' Association.
