           DIGEST  :    This resolution declares the week of June 14 to  
          20, 2010, as the week of celebrating golf and the golf  
          industry in California.

           ANALYSIS  :    

          This resolution makes the following legislative findings:

          1. Pebble Beach Golf Links, host to 10 previous United  
             States Golf Association championships including four  
             United States Open Championships, will once again host  
             the U.S.  Open from June 14 to 20, 2010.

          2. In 2006, California's golf industry generated a total  
             economic impact of $15.1 billion, supporting nearly  
             160,000 jobs with $4.8 billion of wage income.   
             California hosted 16 professional golf championships in  
             2006, including seven PGA Tour, three LPGA Tour, four  
             Champions Tour, and two Nationwide Tour events.  These  
                                                           CONTINUED

             events generated $95.8 million, excluding the tournament  
             purse and costs for TV broadcasting.  State golf  
             associations generated $41.4 million in 2006 revenues.

          3. Annually, California's golf courses help raise over $300  
             million for numerous worthy charities and causes.  This  
             includes local club events, celebrity-charity events,  
             and money raised from professional tournaments, among  
             other things.

          4. With three million golfers, 926 courses, and a large  
             number of annual golf events, golf in the Golden State  
             is more than an enjoyable pastime, it is a key industry  
             contributing to the vitality of California's economy.

          This resolution declares the week of June 14 to 20, 2010,  
          as the week of celebrating golf and the golf industry in  
          California.
