Bill--good analogy about the restaurant. I can say that I think that there are many golfers out there willing to play, but can't afford the time commitment of 6 or 7 hours on a Saturday, or any other day really. At this point, counting driving time, pre-start time, round time and all other things, that is the kind of time we are talking to play a round of golf.
--Cut a good bit of time out of the round and I think many people might come back to playing the game.
