Most golf courses per capita

Most golf courses per capita
I was just reading a golf article on http://espn.go.com/golf/ and came across the following fact:
Countries with the most courses per capita (minimum 500,000 population):
Scotland (9,379 people per course);
New Zealand (10,374);
Australia (11,063);
Republic of Ireland (14,127);
Northern Ireland (14,353);
Canada (15,480);
Wales (18,321);
United States (18,514);
Sweden (21,295);
England (27,725).

I know Tasmania is not a country, but it does have over 500 000 people (just). For that population it has a wapping 75 golf courses resulting in a per capita ratio of around 6666 people per golf course.

That's way lower than the leading country, Scotland, and a lot lower than the overall Australian rate.
