OTHER PROGRAMMING.

00:02:32.185 --> 00:02:33.553
>> FIRST TEE IS A WONDERFUL

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:40.426
PROGRAM THAT INTRODUCES YOUTH

00:02:40.493 --> 00:02:43.296

CALL PENALTIES ON YOURSELF OTHER

00:02:55.608 --> 00:02:56.075
THAN GOLF.

00:02:56.142 --> 00:02:57.944
THERE ARE A LOT OF LIFE SKILLS

00:02:58.011 --> 00:02:59.245
THAT CAN BE GAINED FROM THE GAME

00:02:59.312 --> 00:03:00.446
OF GOLF.

00:03:00.513 --> 00:03:01.281
SINCE WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN

00:03:01.347 --> 00:03:04.951
LAST TEE, WE'VE SEEN PHENOMENAL

00:03:05.018 --> 00:03:05.952
GROWTH.

00:03:06.019 --> 00:03:06.953
18 DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AROUND

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:07.587
THE STATE.

00:03:07.654 --> 00:03:10.323
REACHING 100,000 KIDS A YEAR

THE GROWTH IS PHENOMENAL.

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:13.726
I THINK THAT WILL CONTINUE.

00:03:13.793 --> 00:03:14.961
>> AS THE GROWTH CONTINUES, THE

00:03:15.028 --> 00:03:16.763
GAME CONTINUES TO HAVE A GREAT

00:03:16.829 --> 00:03:17.163
IMPACT.

00:03:17.230 --> 00:03:18.398
IT GENERATES JOBS.

00:03:18.464 --> 00:03:20.800
YOU DID AN ECONOMIC IMPACT A

00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:21.701
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO.

00:03:21.768 --> 00:03:22.802
YOU'RE COMING BACK WITH THAT.

00:03:22.869 --> 00:03:24.637
BUT THE NUMBERS FROM THE MOST

00:03:24.704 --> 00:03:26.406
RECENT ONE ARE STAGGERING.

00:03:26.472 --> 00:03:28.374

00:03:28.441 --> 00:03:30.009
HOW IMPACTFUL GOLF IS.

00:03:30.076 --> 00:03:33.346
THE STUDY WE DID 10 YEARS AGO

00:03:33.413 --> 00:03:35.949
SHOWED THAT $1.7 BILLION IN

00:03:36.015 --> 00:03:37.250
TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THE

00:03:37.317 --> 00:03:40.753
STATE OF INDIANA EVERY YEAR.

00:03:40.820 --> 00:03:43.289
THERE ARE OVER 21,000 JOBS IN

00:03:43.356 --> 00:03:46.793
THE GAME OF GOLF AND IT HAS $531

00:03:46.859 --> 00:03:48.728
MILLION IN WAGE INCOME.

00:03:48.795 --> 00:03:49.829
AND ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT

00:03:49.896 --> 00:03:54.534
ASPECT IS THAT $43.2 MILLION IN

00:03:54.601 --> 00:03:56.636
CHARITABLE GIVING WAS ATTRIBUTED

00:03:56.703 --> 00:03:57.637
TO THE GAME OF GOLF.

00:03:57.704 --> 00:03:58.738
THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO.

00:03:58.805 --> 00:04:00.173
WE REALLY THINK WITH THE STUDY

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:01.708
WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR THOSE

00:04:01.774 --> 00:04:03.776
NUMBERS WILL BE MUCH HIGHER THAN

00:04:03.843 --> 00:04:04.444
