The purposes of this study are, first, to determine how playing golf, one of the many popular sports activities in Korea, can influence the general leisure satisfaction level of an amateur golfer, and second, to provide basic data and information that may contribute to encouraging more people to play golf. To accomplish the goals of the study, a questionnaire was distributed to a sample of amateur golfers at a private golf range. Of the 250 responses returned, and after excluding those that were either incomplete or inadequate, 232 answers (92.8%) were considered valid and used for the study. The study utilized Frequency Analysis, Crosstabs, One-way ANOVA, and T -tests to analyze the research data and outcomes. The results of the research conducted, using the research methods and data analysis described above, are as follows: 1. Male golfers visit golf ranges more regularly and frequently than female golfers do. Female amateur golfers play golf at a golf range on a more irregular basis. 2. Neither male nor female golfers use golf ranges very often. The majority of the sample visits a golf range 4~5 times a month, followed by those visiting 2~3 times, those visiting more than six times, and finally, those visiting just once a month. 3. When it comes to the difference in leisure activity satisfaction levels between men and women, male and female golfers show a significant difference, with a margin of 1%, in terms of both psychological and social factors. 4. With regard to the relationship between marital status and leisure activity satisfaction, married men and women turn out to feel 5% more physically satisfied with their leisure activities than singles do. 5. There is a significant difference of 1% in leisure satisfaction between golfers who participate in club activities and those who do not, when considering psychological, recreational, and social factors. In the case of educational factors, the figure stands at 5%. 6. In terms of physical factors, golfers in the under 30 age group turn out to be less satisfied with their leisure lives than golfers in both the 40-50 and over 50 age groups. 7. In terms of psychological factors, amateur golfers who feel they are 'healthy' or 'very healthy' have a higher leisure satisfaction level than those who see their health condition as 'weak'. When it comes to educational and social factors, those who feel they are 'healthy' are more satisfied than those who feel they are 'weak'. 8. With relation to golf handicaps, golfers with handicaps below 10 tend to feel more satisfied with their leisure lives than those with handicaps from '10-15', '15-20', '20-25', and 'over 25', in terms of both psychological and social factors. Also, when considering recreational factors, those with handicaps below 10 are more likely to be satisfied than those with handicaps over 25. And again, in terms of educational factors, amateurs whose handicaps are lower than 10 tum out to have a higher satisfaction level than those with handicaps from '15~20' and 'over 25'. 9. In terms of educational factors, golfers visiting a golf range more than 6 times a month are more likely to feel satisfied than those visiting 2-3 times. 10. In terms of psychological factors, those who have been playing golf for '60 to 120 months' or for 'more than 120 months' have a higher level of satisfaction than those with 'less than 12 months' or '12 to 60 months' of golfing experience. With regard to physical factors, the first two groups feel more satisfied with their overall leisure activities than those with 'less than 12 months' experience. Similarly, in terms of recreational and social factors, golfers with '60 to 120 months experience tend to have a higher overall leisure satisfaction rate than those with 'less than 12 months' experience. 11. In terms of both psychological and recreational factors, there is a significant difference of 5% in leisure satisfaction levels between amateur golfers who have participated in various club activities and those who have not.
