Our club pro made a few proposals to the club for getting this age bracket more into golf but most of them seemed pretty naff- poker tournaments, pool tournaments etc which I honestly don't think would have any effect.
Also our club are next to a motorway so it's not easily accessible for people wanting to have a drink so another thing was proposed shuttle buses away from the club after medals which might sound good in theory but not sure the other members would appreciate the club being used for a lads p*** up.
Appreciate what they are trying to do but IMO it's like flogging a dead duck as people in their 20's have too much on for golf (In general) Whether it be starting a family, studying, early in career or generally just out every weekend having a good time... not to mention most of this demographic have less money but expected to pay a significant amount of money as no longer juniors (albeit young adults pay less than full subs)
So what's your opinion into getting this demographic more into golf- whether it be continuing after playing in youth or attracting new people to the game?
I only took the game up in my early 30's and really wish I did play earlier but looking back I too probably had too much going on.
