The Future Of Golf May Not Be On The Links

Quote:

From 2011 to 2016, the number of U.S. courses dropped from 15,751 to 15,014 – an average loss of 147 per year. If this trend continues, there will be only 13,245 courses by 2028.

In comparison, disc golf is experiencing rapid growth and may be nearing a tipping point. In 2011, there were 2,982 U.S. disc golf courses, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association. By 2016, this number nearly doubled to 5,467 – an average gain of 497 courses annually. If this rate continues, disc golfers will have almost as many places to play as ball golfers in a decade.

One of the main reasons for ball golf’s decline is a falling participation among young Americans.

In the past, the 18- to 34-year-old age group was the most likely to play ball golf. But between the early 1990s and early 2010s, there was a 30 percent decrease in participation in this age group. Today, only 26 percent of ball golfers are between the ages of 18 and 34.

Perhaps young people are instead deciding to throw discs.

I put a call out for a round yesterday and a few club members responded, so we all met up at a course. At the last minute one of the club directors showed up, which was cool, so we all played in a group. The conversation was light and as funny as usual, but the club leader dude kept talking about the past artwork and how they wanted to go in a different direction...

Guess who's doing all the artwork for the club this year.

I love the guys artwork from previous years, and it's an honor to take the reigns. I'll be making an effort to keep his style of quirkiness alive.
