           SUMMARY  :  Declares the week of June 14 to 20, 2010, as the week  
          of celebrating golf and the golf industry in California.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative  
          findings:   

          1)With three million golfers, 926 courses, and a large number of  
            annual golf events, golf in California is a key industry that  
            generated a total economic impact of $15.1 billion in 2006.

          2)Annually, California's golf courses help raise over $300  
            million for numerous worthy charities and causes; and, The  
            First Tee, which teaches life skills to young people through  
            the game of golf and offers core programs that are estimated  
            to reach at least 25,000 youth annually, has 17 chapters in  
            California.

          3)The continued health and growth of the golf industry has a  
            direct bearing on future jobs, commerce, economic development,  
            and tax revenues for a large number of California's  
            communities and industries.

          4)The United States Open Championships will be hosted by Pebble  
            Beach Golf Links from June 14 to 20, 2010; and, Pebble Beach
