I found a really good article about the golf industry over the last century, sort of a recap on where it’s been and where it appears to be heading. It was written by Mark Frost over at WSJ.
Golf’s Crash Course in Humility
When the Scot’s first built golf courses, they were built as public parks and they were free to play for everyone. Oh, the good ole days….
Enjoy! Have a great weekend.

I wonder if the idea of a truly public course (i.e. free and open to all) could fly in North America? I know that some cities have courses that they run but there is always a greens fee. What would happen to golf if there was free access for all?
Perhaps the USGA and RCGA could put some funding into this initiative and maybe the PGA/LPGA too.
They could help fund the courses with sponsorships and maybe some other creative ideas, but they would be like public parks.
