Golf is hurting don’t get me wrong. I know that rounds are flat or down but that has been going on for some time. The game is in what I would term a reset.
I read this morning that Trump Entertainment has filed for bankruptcy protection. That’s all the cheesy hotels in Atlantic City where he preys on grannys and truck drivers who think they’ll hit it big one day and be rich grannys and truck drivers, but we know how often that happens.
So golf is retooling, resetting. Guys like Donald Trump, and I blogged about this two years ago, have infiltrated us, and done harm. Hopefully, and I truly believe this, the game will be better off when we figure out that $300,000 initiation clubs don’t work long term.
We’ll play nine holes again, we’ll take that sacred and much needed buddies trip to Pinehurst or Myrtle Beach, we’ll get back to normal…I for one can’t wait.
