The writing has been on the wall for golf for some time. Even Jack Nicklaus recognizes the problems.
Folks in OPA in the 60+ age group tend to remember the good old days of golf, when membership in a real country club seemed important. Today that is no longer the case with younger people. Of course, the OPA Country Club has not been a real country club for a decade or more. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Love it! It reinforces all of my preconceived ideas  !
Here is a PDF from the Outdoor Foundation identifying the popularity of many outdoor activities from 2007 through 2014. Way done in "Other Activities" you'll find data for golf which declined in popularity from 11% to 8% during that time. Running, jogging and trail running lead the pack, even Birdwatching is more popular than golf. But, it's not that I'd like to see the course closed, and it is an iconic course, but we're not a charity preserving a part of America's Golf History. Just a thought! |
