Golfer Safety and Crime Prevention Tips

Dan Keller





As we approach golfing season, we’re thinking about golfer safety. Many avid golfers tend to spend a significant amount of money on their golf equipment, making them a target for crime. According to data from the National Golf Foundation, there are approximately 16,000 golf courses in the United States and approximately 25 million people (aged six and over) played on a golf course in 2021.
