My own golfing down due to med conditions,so i am a bit behind. Also, why golf rates dont reduce to get more people to golf. Starters...
I have golfed all my life and the reason I play less is because it takes to long. I don't want to invest the minimum of five hours that it takes on a regular basis. I got out of the habit of playing weekly because I didn't want to miss my son's games on weekends. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. My idea to make golf more popular is to make it 11 holes. The first hole is practice and than your score is based on your best nine of the next ten.
