Except it's not true...
"Despite predictions of golf's downfall due to the pandemic, the sport has actually managed to stay on course. Literally, on course. In early January 2023, the National Golf Foundation (NGF) revealed that the number of on-course golfers was up again by 500.000 players, bringing the total to 25.6 million."
