Over the last few years there has been a huge decline in younger people playing golf. what is the reason on why this is all going on? It certainly isn’t down to kids not wanting to use the electric golf trolleys.
One of the major reasons a lot of young people do not wish to take up the sport is the fact that their dad plays it every other day. It can also be said that if a youngster is going to play golf they are bound to be picked on if they are seen wearing some of the outfits golfers have to wear on some of the courses. I remember when i was at school which wasn't too long ago that the people who played sports like golf were only friends with the other ones that played golf which I always felt was wrong.
I do not understand why people see golf as a old mans sport and not like all the other major sports like football and rugby. Golf in fact is classed as a high profile sport its just no one of the younger generation is that interested. To an extent this is false as I know a young lad who adores golf and has been learning the game over the last few months. The only problem is ge wishes to play football and go to gardening club rather than play golf. I just do not see how gardening could be better than playing golf? Is the game really seen to be that boring to the younger people? Although not liking the sport myself I also do not like football or any other of the major sports so i'm certainly not biased against the sport.
In all honesty golf would certainly benefit the kids of today more so than a lot of other sports as it has standards that must be kept to. The great thing about golf is that it would actually help any child who liked the sport as unlike other sports the majority of people who play it don't swear or behave like a complete idiot. As well as this, other than the huge promotional money they bring in the only other money is if they actually win a tournament rather than getting paid stupidly high amounts of money every week.
So charge up those golf batteries kids and get playing!
