From golf to the bicycle and back to golf again

It is said that golf is no longer the favoured sport of young upwardly mobile people. Instead, kitted out in expensive lycra, they have taken to bicycles.

But it now seems that golf is on the upswing, at least in the United States of America.

The number of people who teed up for the first time hit a record three million in 2020. In all, close to 37 million golfers played 502 million rounds. This is a 14 per cent increase on the previous year.
