Seems a little early in the game, and pessimistic, to be calling the end of anything as we know it. Even if it does come to pass that COVID and the world's first voluntarily-induced recession spell the "end of golf as we know it," might not some changes be for the better? Participation rates near me are sky high. Full tee sheets at publics and the privates that remain open. Will this carry over once the usual pastimes and family commitments return? In tough times, will golfers believe that what makes golf is golf, as they are experiencing it now, and not the trappings? In tough times, will operators/clubs see opportunity in offering affordable golf as golf without trappings, $$$ maintenance, etc? Might both golfers' attention and industry opportunity return to and improve the solid, time-tested courses where people live and away from bucket list courses far removed? More belt-notching with near-by funs and favorites, and less with far-away "greats"? Not all change would be for the best, of course. But I can imagine a lot that might be. Golf is great. Golf will be fine.
