Is golf still as interesting to kids?

Over the last few years there has been a huge decline in younger people playing golf. Why could this possibly be happening? It certainly isn’t down to kids not wanting to use the electric golf trolleys.
One of the reasons why kids do not wish to play the game is because they really can't stand to play a game one of their parents play. You are not going to be too popular at school if you do play golf and are seen in some of the stupid clothes that some courses insist the golfers have to wear there. As far as I remember the kids at my school that played golf (and there weren't many) were only friends with the other kids that played golf.

I do not understand why people see golf as a old mans sport and not like all the other major sports like football and rugby. Golf itself is a high profile sport its just no one of a young age is that interested. I in fact know a young boy who loves playing the game every Saturday morning so it is not all bad when it comes to kids playing golf. The only problem is ge wishes to play football and go to gardening club rather than play golf. Is gardening really more interesting that playing golf? Is the game really seen to be that boring to the younger people? Although not liking the sport myself I also do not like football or any other of the major sports so i'm certainly not biased against the sport.

In all honesty golf would certainly benefit the kids of today more so than a lot of other sports as it has standards that must be kept to. The great thing about golf is that it would actually help any child who liked the sport as unlike other sports the majority of people who play it don't swear or behave like a complete idiot. Golf is also great as it encourages people to go out and do something with their time, either play for a bit of fun or go out and play with the pros if you get that good in a chance to win some serious money.
So charge up those golf batteries kids and get playing!
