Actually, the millennials are more active than the groups around them:
Generation Swing
Different generations have their take on the game:

In 2021, 4% of Gen Z Americans (born between 1995-2012) picked up a club and said they played golf. For Millennial Americans (born between 1980-1994), 12% embraced the sport in 2021. As for Generation X Americans (born between 1965-1979), 7% joined the ranks of golf enthusiasts in 2021.


Each of these groups are their future......boomers are dying.

Good thing............their advertising is still true. Golf Cap of World & Free golf for life.
