It is ultimately about access. How many public schools field golf teams? I'm not eve sure any do. Absent a school program, golf is pretty damn expensive to learn.

I agree there is a cost barrier, like hockey--why sports like soccer and basketball can thrive in poorer areas.

HOWEVER, most of the public schools in my area growing up had golf teams, and these weren't very big and/or wealthy school districts.
