Golden State golfers are mobilizing to fight the governor's proposal to slap the state sales tax on the game/sport/religion. The California Alliance for Golf, which represents the industry, has hired the veteran lobbying outfit Read and Associates and the big PR firm Porter Novelli to help wage their war. A new Web site is being launched, replete with a way to send protest messages to the guv and legislators.
Lest this sound trivial, the alliance points out on its own Web site that golf ($6.9 billion) contributes more annually to the state's economy than the biotech industry ($4.6 billion). But they admit that it's still less than wine ($8.2 billion).
