Are the kids of today even giving golf a chance?
The last few years has seen a huge decline in the amount of younger people playing sports like golf. But what is the real reason for this? It certainly isn’t down to kids not wanting to use the electric golf trolleys.
One of the reasons why kids do not wish to play the game is because they really can't stand to play a game one of their parents play. It can also be said that if a youngster is going to play golf they are bound to be picked on if they are seen wearing some of the outfits golfers have to wear on some of the courses. The fact is that when I was at school the people who played golf were only friends with the other golf players which was either out of choice or bullying which is wrong.
I do not understand why people see golf as a old mans sport and not like all the other major sports like football and rugby. Golf itself is a high profile sport its just no one of a young age is that interested. To an extent this is false as I know a young lad who adores golf and has been learning the game over the last few months. The only problem is ge wishes to play football and go to gardening club rather than play golf. How can gardening be better than playing a round of golf I mean really? Is it possible that the game is seen as weird and boring to younger people? Although not liking the sport myself I also do not like football or any other of the major sports so i'm certainly not biased against the sport.
In all honesty golf would certainly benefit the kids of today more so than a lot of other sports as it has standards that must be kept to. One of the best things golf has is that the players really don't swear, throw tantrums and everything else footballers love to do which is great as it teachers kids the real way to behave when you are playing a sport. As well as this, other than the huge promotional money they bring in the only other money is if they actually win a tournament rather than getting paid stupidly high amounts of money every week.
So charge up those golf batteries kids and get playing!
