Are children still interested in golf?

The past few years has shown less and less younger people playing sports like golf. what is the reason on why this is all going on? It certainly isn’t down to kids not wanting to use the electric golf trolleys.
One of the major reasons and the reason that detered me from the sport is that one of the parents play the game and it is seen as a older generations game. It can also be said that if a youngster is going to play golf they are bound to be picked on if they are seen wearing some of the outfits golfers have to wear on some of the courses. The fact is that when I was at school the people who played golf were only friends with the other golf players which was either out of choice or bullying which is wrong.

I do not understand why people see golf as a old mans sport and not like all the other major sports like football and rugby. Golf in fact is classed as a high profile sport its just no one of the younger generation is that interested. In a way this is not true as I know a young boy who loves the game and enjoys playing it every Saturday morning when he is not at school. The major problem is that he wants to give up all of the golf playing for football and gardening, yes gardening. I just do not see how gardening could be better than playing golf? Is it that children find the game boring and a bit strange? I have never really gotten on with any sport so it is not just golf I do not like which means I am certainly not biased against the sport.

In my honest opinion I think kids would benefit from playing golf than they would most other sports. The great thing about golf is that it would actually help any child who liked the sport as unlike other sports the majority of people who play it don't swear or behave like a complete idiot. As well as this, other than the huge promotional money they bring in the only other money is if they actually win a tournament rather than getting paid stupidly high amounts of money every week.
So charge up those golf batteries kids and get playing!
