Beijing, CHINA: Coach Garth Cusick (C) teaches youngsters how to fill their scorecard during a lesson at a golf course in Beijing, 10 June 2007. The number of Chinese golfers has soared from nearly none two decades ago to estimates of over a million playing on about 300 courses nationwide as the country's dynamic economic growth allows more time for leisure pursuits. Chinese golf officials are increasingly pinning their hopes on children taking up golf as a way to broaden the appeal of a sport seen as the hobby of deal-making business executives, but with its elitist image, golf remains a sensitive symbol of a widening rich-poor gap in a country where typical green fees of 600-1,000 yuan (about 75-130 USD) are more money than millions of Chinese will make in a month.
