In this week’s podcast, host Dave Berner talks to TravelGolf.com’s Tom Spousta about why the financial crisis has made now the time to join a swish private golf club.
“Down in Naples (Fla.), there are several high-end clubs – clubs you couldn’t even get past the gate five or eight years ago – are now considering, at least part of the week, opening their courses to public play,” Spousta says. “It’s a matter of these courses can no longer bank on the baby-boomer retirees becoming a full-paying dues member any more.”
TravelGolf.com’s Kiel Christianson says there are several excellent, environmentally-friendly golf gift options on the market this holiday season.
“The stereotype of golfers is not really of a bunch of environmentally-friendly folks walking around,” Christianson says. But “it might surprise people that there’s an increasing percentage of golfers who are concerned about the environment.”
Plus, Berner plays a clip from the popular television show “Whose Line is It Anyway?” lampooning golf.
This podcast is supported by Walter’s Golf in Las Vegas and San Diego Golf Central.
