Golf Magazine named Ohio #5 out of all 50 states for "golfiness."
They coined this term based on:
Avidness of golfers - percentage of households that play golf in addition to annual rounds per golfer
Quantity and quality of golf courses - total number of courses combined with number of top 100 courses
Legacy and vibe - caliber of state's native players, prestige of tournaments and general "vibe"
Travelin' Joe's Rating - Joe Pasov, Senior Editor at Golf Magazine's opinion based on his play in all 50 states
