If this forum is not dead how come I don't see Lynn Blake on here any more? I don't mean to offend anybody but seems like all free golf forums are dying out.

Who's Lynn Blake"? I'm sure he's busy.

You're here, Air Air is here, I'm here. That's a quorum.

I agree, it seems that way. We're on life support. USA Golf is losing. I think anyone can see that. In ten years...who can predict?

The "Depression" (2007-2014) knocked the wind out of everything except death and taxes and taxes on death are going up.

Country clubs around me that once had a 300 person waiting list to join for 30,000.00 are currently offering memberships for 3,000.00. That can't last.

There are some great articles on teenage sports and sports growth. Golf is not among them. It's amazing the amount of activities that are available to school age children, K-12. 10 times more from when I was that age. And computers, don't get me started. Some of my employees go home and play computer games all night with people from around the world. Crazy.

Divorce rate, poverty rate. 45 million on food stamps. Movie tickets are 15 bucks. Gas was $4 gallon.

I better stop. I'll unhinge.
