As far as golf being in decline, that is simply not true, it is actually gaining participants. The only facet that was ever in decline was private country club membership, due to the cost and the economy.
From Statistica: " In 2022, the number of people participating in golf in the United States reached 25.6 million, representing a slight increase on the previous year. It also represented the highest on-course participation in more than a decade."
Now, if anyone would like to present a source that states overall participation in golf is declining, this is their chance

The world has gone casual, whether you like it or not. They could allow t shirts but say no tank tops or cutoffs. Besides, they basically allow women to wear whatever they want, tank tops and yoga pants are common these days, and I'm fine with that. Especailly since we all basiacally own the executive courses.
I'm far less concerned about what people are wearing and much more concerned about pace of play, as well as people not fixing divots and ball marks.
As far as potholes, I'm surprised how many I see that have been there for while on the main roads, 466A, Bailey Trail and Odell come to mind.
