Nice to hear the sport is getting young...Patricia,<br /><br />Nice to hear the sport is getting younger. Rickie Fowler has obviously had an impact. <br /><br />I’ve never heard of this 1D boy band. It’s great to hear though that a lot of younger celebs are playing the sport. <br /><br />I often though that Timberlake would bring more youth to the game. But his audience is a little older and he is performing less and involved in other projects.<br /><br />Entourage was another pop culture appearance for golf. The guys were often seen hitting range balls and on the course.<br /><br />The problem however is not going to be spreading awareness around the game. It’s going to be how to make it fun, easier, affordable and less time consuming. The big one is affordability. Young people don’t have much disposable income and I can’t see them becoming rabid players because of the money issue.Jordan J.

It was a young guy who said (something like) 'I love caddying for the old folks, they get so much joy out of golf'. ;-)thegolfsharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134394081965354826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-19021208652314854772012-08-02T14:10:14.628-04:002012-08-02T14:10:14.628-04:00.

I imagine many private clubs might still allow for the casual pace but it's extremely rare at public courses particularly if one's locked into a 9-5 work day. I do get to play that way sometimes when the weather isn't great and the masses have cancelled and those are my favorite rounds, weather not withstanding. <br /><br />Is it my imagination or do I see both Rory and a Rickie look-alikes in One Direction?ashgolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807043807126309989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-61691330576808478192012-08-02T13:13:12.255-04:002012-08-02T13:13:12.255-04:00Hey Golf Girl!
