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

With the exception of a few Hoighty Toighty clubs, a lot of the stuffiness has gone by the wayside. I play in a golf league with almost 100 guys who are relatively well off on the mean, and all of us play ready golf, listen to music, etc

Golf is going through a “craft” revolution nationally, and around the globe. There is a big movement centered around getting back to what the game originally was... an Everyman’s recreation. People want an authentic experience just like with food, beer, etc.. There is an emphasis on classic course design, strategic width vs. tight/high rough, fun and playability. That movement hasn’t hit Louisiana yet because we’re always 20 years behind, but it’ll get here. Read up on places like Sweeten’s Cove, Goat Hill Park, Winter Park 9, etc etc etc. None of those places are starched shirt joints, but they are all fun as hell and what golf should be.
