Continued Decline Of Club Golfers In The UK, Especially Scotland

Alistair Tait of Golfweek breaks down the latest numbers tracking those who are club members. The numbers do no, however, count those who still play but simply choose not to pay club dues.

The figures continue a worrying downward trend for all four nations over the last five years, especially in Scotland and Wales. Wales has experienced a 16.92% loss from the 51,445 registered golfers in 2014.

Scotland has seen a 14.07% decline. The Home of Golf had 209,812 registered players in 2014.
