Golf will continue "right-sizing" until the supply and demand reach equilibrium. The "Tiger boom" from the late '90s to about 15 years ago got a lot of late Boomers and Gen-Xers (across racial lines, significantly) into the game. New courses were built. Eighteen-hole courses added a third nine...
Yesterday, the top seeds went 0-4, and programs that have won the CWS were 4-0.
