No industry grows forever. Watched a story on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble last night and was shocked at the decline in rounds played and the number of course closings since 2008. Because of the expense in getting the equipment, the cost of playing, and the amount of time it takes to play, our instant gratification society seems less interested. They also coupled the growth and decline of golf directly to Eldrick Woods...indicating the game needs a new dynamic hero to stir the masses. Frankly, I think the cost and time to play are the overriding factors. They did show one place where you can eat, drink, and hit balls at targets on the range...score points and win prizes. It actually looked like fun and I think I would do something like that periodically...kind of a Dave and Busters driving range.
