As the new year begins the reports start rolling in on how 2011 shaped up for the Golf Economy. In a recent article posted on USA Today website titled, As golf declines, life on links ain’t what it used to be, there was a reference to a report from the National Golf Foundation reporting a 13% decrease in the number of golfers in the US. Though this reported number of golfers in the US could be and probably is, worse it does state a fact that any recovery for the golf economy will be very tough to develop.
There are a number of other factors involved with the sagging golf economy. A few of them being:
- Affordability
- Playability
- Time Effectiveness
Once changes are made in these areas Golf then may have a chance to return to its luster years. I am sure you have solutions to offer. Would enjoy hearing what you have to offer.
