Jim Furyk: we need to make golf more fun

I see this undercurrent in running. We try to do everything possible so that it is anything but running and running is fun to many, many people. Golf is a lot of fun, also, and for a lot of people, probably even for JimF. So, why change the way we train, the way we feel about a sport? ... for nothing more than marketing?

Why not come up with a new sport that captures whatever is missing and leave the old sport alone?

Without a doubt, I will be called a troll and idiot or both but I am taking my chances

Idiot seems sufficient.

The premise is that golf is in decline. Good. They deserve it.

Golf ruins natural areas that should be parks instead, restricts access of the public to these lands, takes too long to play and is elitist. It sucks.

Golf courses are better for running than they are for golf.

Every year I hear that golf is on the decline. Fine, play it with a frisbee.

Leave them courses for for running.

Is running on the decline too?

Absolutely, if we are talking about the Big Cottonwood Marathon.
