The Golf Industry

The game of golf has remained the same for many years. Many people, especially who don't play or know anything about golf, associate it with old men. This stereo type is not necessarily true, but there are plenty of old men who do play golf, and the numbers of new golfers is diminishing. I believe that the main cause of the decline of new golfers is the price it takes to play golf. The average price it takes to buy a new set of golf clubs is around $600, a good driver is around $250, wedges are around $150 a piece, and a putter is $100. Just for equipment alone, you're looking at $1250. Granted, there are cheaper clubs that are available at garage sails or discount golf stores. All in all, golf is a great sport that I think many people would enjoy if they just tried it.
