I think it's the fact that golf is seen as the game of the old and rich. Combined with the high cost of entry (clubs, the cost of a round, etc.), young people will choose a sport where all you need is a ball to play. I read a book called Golf For The Rest Of Us by E. Vargo that makes the case for sped up play and fewer clubs to get young people involved.

Thank you, Crusher! Great avatar, by the way.

Haha :). Thank you!

It's definitely something to consider, as it's my least consistent club. I've heard more and more about this recently. In fact, I just read this book, Golf For The Rest Of Us , in which the author suggests playing without a driver. He even suggests that a newbie could play with just a five-iron (on a tee for the first shot) and a putter. Maybe simplifying the game would work.

Hi Everyone, I live in Los Angeles and work as the technology director of a start-up. I've been golfing for almost 11 years in which I've become an average golfer. I'm here to talk golf and get some tips. I don't take the game too seriously, I do it for relaxation and to get some fresh air with friends. See you all on the boards, PinHead
