You may find that millennials (of which I may be one) fancy an occasional round of golf because it allows them to use a golf board, which they may find fun. That doesn't mean that they actually want to play golf. I don't view them any differently than my borrowing my dad's powakaddy.
Exactly,
Millennials (or anyone else we deem attractive to target )may want to try a golf board.
they may well become boarders, but there are probably way more fun places to ride one than a golf course where you actually have to be somewhat skilled at the game to enjoy it-that's the 800 pound elephant in the room.If you suck you have to get on and off quite often
If you're not a golfer, a board won't change that.
It would be nice if we would just sell golf as well-golf.
It has many, many attarctive features that need to be stressed rather than changing how we play (large holes) or how we get around (golfboard, gyros)
I've ridden a golfboard.
They will work fine on a flattish-medium grade.
a hilly or steep grade is a real problem, especially for those less experienced.
and from my experience, they do indeed leave a trail on a bent grass fairway.
Is it damage? don't know but it's definitely a mark that like cart and even foot traffic wil eventually cause damage.
It wouldn't work at our place due to terrain and the fact that the people who now take carts are not athletic enough to control and safely enjoy a golfboard.
Not against them per se, just think it's a misguided way to attempt to grow the game.
