Iplayed yesterday at a Muni course there was a lot of young people playing as young as 6 but a number of teens , It is certainly not an old mans sport on a Sat or Sunday in the States.

Years ago i used to "razz" my father that it was an old mans sport, but i was a late starter.

Its only an old man's sport in the sense that it is one of the few mainstream sports you can play your whole life. How many 80 year olds do u see playing basketball. Thats the only explanation for the "Old Man's Sport" Stigma even though it is very popular among young people such as myself

Many people take the mick because they dont understand the game they think its dead easy to hit it like tiger wich im sure you will all agree is the opposite of easy

I prefer the quote that Golf is "a game for life". It's a game for all ages, and fortunately for me (60 in Dec), that includes those of use who are well into middle age...

I was brought up that golf (as a sport) should be enjoyed as a family sport. I started swinging clubs (for fun) around the age of 7. As a teenager I played with friends at local spots...

Today, golf should be enjoyed by everyone.
