Default Future Villagers Don't Play Golf

Forgive me if this has already been posted; if so, just let this fall down the boards.

Golf industry: Golf's perpetual problem: Courting the young adult
Noticed this article. I then sat back and thought about my three kids, age 20-30, and their spouses and friends, and the young people that I know (30s and 40s). They don't play golf. At all.

Our local country clubs (three within ten miles of my house) are begging for members (Illinois).

How do you all feel this will affect the future of TV, a supremely golf-centric place? Convert the golf courses for other activities? Morph into something that the 30-50 year old future homebuyers will appreciate more than golf? I don't know the answer, just that golf courses take a load of space and resources, costly.

Thoughts? Thanks. Future Villager, Sven
