re: Golf "etiquette" and rules are why young people dont get into it

To be clear, I am seeing a lot more young people getting into golf in my area.

Baseball and Soccer used to be go to sports for young people because of cheap Rec Leagues. But, now your parents have to be political masterminds and the cost/time commitment for those sports have skyrocketed due to Travel/Tournament Teams. And rec leagues are getting terrible or non-existent.

Golf is now not a country club / expensive sport compared to other popular sports.

I don't have any statistics to back it up. It is just something in my area that I am seeing.
