A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 1.9 million Australians aged 14+ play golf either regularly or occasionally, and they are more likely to go on holiday than the average Australian. The survey, which was carried out in the year to December 2015, also shows that people who play golf either regularly or occasionally are considerably more likely than the average Australian to name Queensland as the state they would most like to visit on holiday in the next two years: 49.6 per cent compared with the population average of 40.6 per cent. Victoria (49.2 per cent) and New South Wales (47.9 per cent) also rate higher for golfers on their holiday wish-lists than for the average Australian. In fact, the only state which golfers have a below-average interest in visiting is South Australia.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 5.4 per cent of Australian men aged +14 play golf regularly, while 9.8% per cent enjoy the occasional round of golf. The survey, which was carried out in the year to June 2015, also shows that 19 per cent of Australian men aged 35-44 play golf, with 14 per cent playing golf occasionally and only around five per cent doing so regularly. However, 10 per cent of men aged 65-74 play golf regularly, surpassing the rate of occasional play, while the proportion of men who play golf regularly declines only slightly after the age of 75.
