A Study on the Current Status of Park Golf and the Preparation of Measures to Prevent Safety Accidents
The As the elderly population increases, interest in health and health maintenance is increasing, leading to membership in the sports club. Among the sports clubs, many people are joining the "golf" event, and "golf" was the highest among the clubs that want to join in the future. Recently, 'park golf' is in vogue in Korea. In particular, anyone can easily participate in the elderly, so its popularity is increasing day by day. As a result, many local governments are establishing park golf courses for welfare, and problems are occurring in the process of establishment and operation. First, although it is registered as a sports facility event, it is classified as a 'free industry' and is not subject to sports facility business reporting, so there is a problem that it is difficult for local governments to manage in advance. Second, as the number of people participating increases, related safety accidents are also increasing. Third, there is a burden on operating finances. Initial establishment costs, lawn maintenance costs, facility maintenance costs, and labor costs continue to occur. Fourth, conflicts with local residents arise due to environmental destruction, noise and traffic congestion, and use of specific age groups in the process of establishing a park golf course. Therefore, this study investigates the current status of park golf and suggests countermeasures for various problems.
