Since no one in my family is into golfing, I hadn't given this subject any thought. I think my husband's brother used to play, but I don't know if he still does. It's too bad it has gotten so expensive, and I can see why today's microwave generation isn't interested in the game. Still, it seems a pity to just get rid of the golf course, unless the land can be maintained as a park.

After poking around in this topic for a bit, it seems that golf has become one of those pastimes that's making itself obsolete.
The last time I bought a set of golf clubs was in the early 1990's and it cost about $550.00 which I thought was a lot, at the time. A comparable set today would be about $2,000+/-. If we just used inflation for the past 30 years, that set should cost $1,150, in today's money. But it's almost double that... putting the game out of more people's reach.
And you're definitely right about the "microwave generation!"
