Golf seems to have a DECLINING population due to the demographics of AGING baby boomers. Younger people prefer to find their own sports or amusements, which explains the RAPID rise of Pickle's ball. Probably many Pickle players are former golfers that got tired of the BORING NON-STIMULATION of the time spent going from drive to fairway shot. The Pickled crowd has CONTINUOUS action and an EASY game to learn. Also, the courts are FREE, as in costing nothing - less time cost and less money costs.
.......It is also pretty humorous to me that "mother nature" (due to warmer air holding more moisture) has decided to make the FLORIDA golf greens more DIFFICULT to maintain.
.......Personally, I think that par 3 courses better match the mentality today of young retired people, which is quick rewards for time spent. It also matches the mentality of TV Landers that have busy lives and want to get to water volleyball after a par 3 and not the time occupied by a "PAR ZILLION".
..........Also, the Florida summer HEAT means playing golf mostly in the morning. But, with indoor computer golf, players could sharpen their skills indoors -- and maybe combined with a brief putting time in the HEAT outdoors. Just thinking out loud.
