    Yes, they have 500 big, beautiful & time consuming golf courses…problem is they now have the 500 of the wrong one’s for the coming generations who want quick-in, quick-out golf on smaller facilities. With fewer golfers coming, it won’t take long to realize that empty fairways pay no bills!
    Things change and so must golf if it wants to adapt to the new lifestyles.

      Personally, I love nine-hole golf courses but most of those have been plowed under and redeveloped into homes, retail centers and office buildings; I tell folks I don’t have 4-5 hours to play, I can sneak in 1 1/2 if there were more appropriate short courses….the new one up at Pinehurst is a HUGE hit!
