Golf has to suffer six or more years
Again, you are trying to convolute the argument. I made no reference at all on either the growth nor the decline in number of players and rounds played, nor did I attempt to qualify the worthiness of the millennial "market". I simply said that millenials make up the largest single age group of non-golfers who express interest in playing golf. And as crazy as it may sound to you, it would seem that if you are trying to grow participation in anything, you would target those who show interest, perhaps even the the largest group that shows interest.After all, it's kinda hard to increase participation in anything, if you only go after the ones already doing it.— August 4, 2018 9:53 a.m.

don bauder nevertheless, that is not the comment that was quoted. It was " There is no way millennials can be attracted to the game." Again, obviously since many, if not most of the best in the world are millennials, then some clearly are.— August 4, 2018 9:42 a.m.

don bauder, My bad. I didn't catch my mistake. The article actually said 4 in 10, which any math major will tell you is 40 percent, not 10 percent. Obviously, I wasn't a math major.— August 4, 2018 9:35 a.m.

don bauder my guess is that you have not been athletically inclined for many decades. The physical part of the game is extraordinarily simple. And if you are playing for fun, so is the psychological part. It boils down to this: Hit the ball, find it and hit it again and repeat until the ball goes into the hole. That's it. A very, very good LPGA member was once asked why she never seemed to get angry when she hit a bad shot or got an unlucky bounce. Her reply was simple and to the point. she said something along the lines of If I hit a bad shot, or a good shot for that matter, I just find the ball and play the next shot. It's not life or death, it's only golf. Hit the ball and enjoy a walk in the sun. Pretty good advice, and not just for golf.— August 4, 2018 9:32 a.m.

This time of year, if I was playing, I would cart. But in the cooler weather, both in Arizona and Palm Springs, I would walk. I run 25-30 miles a week just for exercise... good fun!! A short 7K walk, with frequent stoppage, is no big deal.— August 3, 2018 6:14 p.m.
Hot brush for homeless and City Heights houses
I had a neighbor in Arizona. He lived next door, relatively speaking, to my parents house, which is now my house, for about 20 yrs. He was sent to Vietnam in his early 20's and did a couple of tours. About 7 years ago, the VA finally admitted his health issues were as a result to being exposed to agent orange. He died about 5 years ago from bone cancer after a short and very painful battle. I take offense to your remark and as far as I am concerned you are a ****ing ***hole and you can FOAD!!!— August 3, 2018 6:10 p.m.

don bauder, Golf is an extremely easy game to play. It is not any easy game to play well.— August 3, 2018 6:04 p.m.
Golf has to suffer six or more years
Last year, 10 % of those playing golf had a household income under $75,000, which is within the "middle class" designations most sources say constitutes middle class incomes. Torrey Pines is a muni course. The fees are quite reasonable. South is about $60 and $40 for 18 holes for adults and adult seniors, respectively, and north is about $15 or $20 less for each on weekdays. Weekends are a bit more on both courses.— August 3, 2018 6:01 p.m.
Golf has to suffer six or more years
According to your own source, Golf Digest, millenials make up the largest single age group, almost 40%, of non-golfers who express interest in playing golf and there are currently about 3 million junior golfers. Seems like young people are interested in golf.— August 3, 2018 5:51 p.m.
