If I was the king of golf and could do anything to the sport, I wouldn't do anything to rules or youth programs but I would change the prices of equipment. Clubs in todays world are way to expensive and the sport in general is very expensive. Clothes, clubs, golf balls, golf bags are all incredibly expensive now a days it makes a problem for people to be well equipped to be able to play. The price of new driver cost around $500 when it was made at a cost of around $50- $75. They charge way to much for clubs and I feel that this is a reason that more people don't play golf. People see that the sport is expensive and they don't have the money to play it continuously. Golf clothes now are getting pretty expensive, Nike charges around $80- $100 for a golf polo and for pants also. I feel that cause golf charges an arm and a leg for either clubs, clothes, or even to play, that people don't want to use their money for those things. Especially in youth sports, for parents to have their kids play in tournaments they would have to play in the hundreds of dollars for them to just play. That's not including the cost of their clubs, clothes, and other stuff that is need for them to play in a tournament. If I was the king, I wouldn't change the rules of youth golf or change the promotion but I would change the price of the sport as I feel that the prices of equipment is the reason that more people do not play.
