[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=poorgradstudent]Golf is dying a slow death. It’s viewed as too elitist and boring by the young and middle class and seems to be waning in popularity among the elite. I’m not sure many business deals are hammered out over a round of 18 (or even 9) anymore.
Maybe Golf just needs another Tiger to come along. The fact he’s still the biggest name pro despite being terrible thanks to injuries for years says something.
The industry probably just needs to consolidate. Thirty years ago there were a lot more bowling alleys. Bowling still exists, but San Diego county has what… two real bowling alleys plus one hipster bar with a couple lanes? There’s probably just too many courses compared to exisiting and projected future demand right now.[/quote]
I learned golfing. Bought all my equipment, etc… Then I gave it up because it’s so boring.
I once wanted to live on a golf course. I’ve totally changed.[/quote]
You do realize golfing is very popular among ivy league graduates… 🙂
