Pre-Covid that trend was evident among the general population, but not so in the Villages demographic.
However, the golf industry had an outstanding year during 2020 because of Covid. Since golf is one of the few activities that can be safely enjoyed during a pandemic, 2020 was a revival year for the golf industry. Time will tell if the younger people who flooded the golf courses across the country will continue playing the sport when Covid finally gets under control? The same can be said for other activities that flourished because of Covid, such as bike riding, hiking, camping, kayaking, swimming, etc.... For the sake of the health of future generations, here is hoping the trend continues?
