Bruce Charlton, the outgoing president of The American Society of Golf Course Architects, shared his thoughts on the future of the golf industry with The Town Talk.
Among his predictions: a period of courses opening as public spaces and facilities that open as public/private partnerships.
"Golf will come out of this current period leaner and stronger," he says. "We're getting rid of fat, learning from our mistakes, and developing a clearer sense of what the golf market and the golfer need."
