A British statistician notes a rapid rise in golfers worldwide. England has 879 elites, the United States 769, Scotland 682, with Canada equal to Scotland and other regions showing smaller counts. Roughly 3,000 clubs exist globally, averaging 200 members, suggesting about 600,000 players and annual spending near 37.5 million dollars on the game. Also discussed are Hawaii forestry notes and koa tree utilization, plus medical advice urging Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatic pains.
