Rec Camps Golf has bloomed nicely in San Luis Obispo County during the nation s longest-running economic expansion. There is promise of more to come in the new decade, especially at both ends of the county.
Golf is a year-round sport, thanks to the mild winter conditions.
Golf course operators are increasingly hitching their wagons to hotels and wineries offering tourist packages as they look to draw golfers from outside the area. At least four professional tournaments are scheduled for this year. Many golfers men and women, young and old play in competitive ournaments at the various courses. Every high school in the county, with the exception of tiny Shandon High School, now competes in athletic competition on the fairways. Cal Poly will be fielding a men s and women s golf team starting in the fall.
