24 here. I know quite a lot of people my age who play golf and are pretty decent, however the thought of a golf membership is very rarely something they want. The though of £300 for a years golf puts them off, never mind upwards of £700.
It's quite annoying, as much as I enjoy you oldies
, it's nice to play with people your own age at times. Of all the local clubs, there's probably about 3-4 people aged between 20-30 that are members.

I'm 34 next week. The vast majority at our place are 40-50s and beyond. I can probably think of 20 folk around the same age group as myself, played junior golf with most of them. Very rarely see someone in my age group taking up the game

This confirms what we already suspected; that golf is by its nature a sport for the more mature person in that it requires a fair bit of money and free time.
If golf clubs are worried about falling numbers it's the middle aged that they should be looking to atrract rather than younger players.
Once you get to your late thirties / early forties you've got a bit more spare cash and hopefully a bit more spare time.

This poll is actually a bit surprising. I'd be expecting it to have weighted more to the younger age groups seeing how it's on t'internet.

not all clubs are the same yes at my club we do have a majority in the over 50 group BUT we have juniors as young as 6 and teenagers as well as a lot of 20 something,it all depends what your club offers them we have a great youth set up with weekly coaching from the pro,a couple of the teenagers are in the county set up both girls and boys,a couple have gone to the states to ply their trade on one of the tours over there,things like this attract young people to the club (those interested in golf) parents who dont play bring their kids because it is known for its friendliness to the junior section,mind you saying that we do have some over 80 who talk about the war a lot but you cant have everything.

Doesn't matter how slow or quick I read - it's hard to read a blob of words without breaking it up.
You posted all those words in one whole sentence !

The attitude of a percentage of the older members (50+) Also put alot of the younger potential members off.

Do tell us more. We older people would like to know what we're doing wrong.
