Terry May had this to say to Rob Ferrara and I quote:
 RF>   Tiger's presence will affect demand and therefore the

 RF>  supply will find a way to meet the demand.
 TM> How does increased DEMAND translate to lower prices (something you

          I think the market will expand.  How that may play out is
        anyone's guess.  Here's mine:  Joe Hacker can afford to play
        at most places but plays at City Park because tee times are
        not hard to come by.  That will be the first noticeable
        change.  Tee times will be much harder to come by.  Joe will
        move on to some private club and bring his golf budget with
        him.  Now, the people who were at the private club all along
        can't get tee times whenever they want so they move on to
        somewhere else and so on.  The pro shops will have to adjust
        accordingly to their new customer's budgets.  The ultimate
        result will be more golf courses, more players, more pro
        shops, and more competition for a bigger pot.
          I'm not necessarily suggesting that it will be cheaper
        although that's not out of the question.

          Would it explain why I plunk down a ton of cash on the
        Saints every year? :-)
