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

I have plenty of proof that MY golf game is declining.
