Abstract: Place attachment is a common phenomenon in our lives. Individuals may have special emotions on certain places and they will spend more money and time here. This is very valuable to golf which highly relies on places. This research is on the relationships between place attachment and post-purchase behaviors in golf. Place attachment was divided into two basic dimensions of place dependence and place identity in this study. Empirical methods and SEM (structural equation modeling) analysis were used. The results showed that place dependence influenced post-purchase behaviors directly, while place identity had indirect impact on post-purchase behaviors through the intermediary effect of participation behaviors.
