Like the article said a lot of the golf courses were created to sale the home owners on a community. Once the home owners have to manage it and maintain membership without all the lots being sold they can't manage the operations at the level they are used to without having a full community. It was designed to have all lots and homes sold in order to maintain the operations. I think the golf industry will pick up when the housing market picks up.

The PGA golfers are highly paid like so many professional athletes ! The gofers at the top don't even play for the money. They could manage without their sponsorships as well.

We will still go out and enjoy the game ourselves for the sheer joy of playing the game ! Phil and Tiger have it made for life and the rest of us will struggle to hit the fairways and drive home happy ! What doom and gloom ! The PGA golfers are highly paid like so
