The End of The Second Golden Age
« on: June 23, 2008, 10:07:44 PM »
The Golden Age came to an end.  Will today's so-called second golden age meet the same fate?  What factors could contribute to its demise?

Sorry for the interruption.  Carry on.

This thread was prompted by the fact that I played World Woods - Pine Barrens, Black Diamond Ranch - Quarry and Sugarloaf Mountain over the past three days and notwithstanding my unhealthy fondness of C & C enjoyed the first two courses more than the third.

plus the end of reasonably priced air travel.  The 2nd golden age courses are being built on remote sites, and remote-site golf loses some (certainly not all) of it's luster when the very thing that gave rise to it....increased affordable accessibility...is compromised.
