Bill, unfortunately, the data is a couple of years old. There seem to be two observations, though. One is that golf recently surged. The other is that it is of only middling popularity, both nationwide, and as judged by the sampling of cities (of course, expense is a big factor). So the original objection that I made, that we are not a "Golf Culture", stands <g>....

For those who think the air war is weakening Milosovic's support or hastening the end of his rule, the Washington Post has news for you. But prominent opposition members doubt the protests will spread across the country or seriously influence Milosevic's military or diplomatic strategies. They said it is impossible to mount public protests against Milosevic, because outrage over NATO's campaign is widespread and open dissent is seen as comforting the enemy. Serious protest against Milosevic would have to wait until after the war, they said. "Nobody in Serbia is protesting against the war because we didn't start the war," said Vuk Draskovic, the leader of Serbia's largest opposition party, who was deputy prime minister until he was fired last month by Milosevic. "We . . . are not [in] opposition to Serbia; we are fighting for Serbia. Today we are fighters against NATO. Tomorrow we will be fighting against Milosevic." washingtonpost.com
