Either the "greatest game" needs to change or you have to accept <br />that other activities that produce revenue are needed to subsidize the "greatest game". Personally I'd like to see <br />conventional golf try some things out -several courses I know of have used 15 inch holes upon occasion to get <br />beginners started. Some will be experimenting with other hole sizes to speed things up. <br />holmes66 <br />JUL. 15, 15 <br />7:36 AM <br />@macrosteles@holmes66Golfdoes not need to change.If you need a 15 inch hole, you need a different hobby. <br />You must be a terrible player to say something like that.Golf will always have beginners who struggle and learn the <br />game.The game does not need gimmicks to grow.The only problem is too many courses.The game itself is fine. <br />kajoigh <br />JUL. 15, 15 <br />11:07 AM <br />@holmes66@macrostelesI agree with both of you! For the serious golfer -leave the game alone. However golf <br />courses can serve multiple purposes, thus generating add'l revenues. I used to host the "2-club Turmoil" tournament <br />each year. A gimmick golf tournament with goofy golf challenges on every hole. Golfers and non-golfers LOVED this <br />tournament. It also generated good revenue for the course. So I vote for keeping the regular game as is, but expand <br />your creativity for revenue generation. Without it, we will eventually lose more courses. <br /> <br />
