Some people, who probably don’t know much about golf, think the game is stuffy and an elitist sport that is only for the “country club set.” How mistaken they are! Of the approximate 529,000,000 rounds of golf played last year in the U.S., about 79% of them were played at public facilities, according to the National Golf Foundation. That’s 417,910,000 rounds of golf played at public courses in 2021, further proof that golf is a great game for everyone.
