Wondering if they are equipped with gps tracking chips or sensors for automatic glow-in-the-dark activation once a certain level of darkness is reached? Surely there is something we are all missing? If they were engineered so that I was guaranteed to almost never ever lose a ball, I may consider this a reasonable price.

Yeah, there was participation growth when Tiger first hit the scene and lasted for a stretch, but it completely disappeared as fast as it built up. The Tiger effect was much more significant on TV ratings and tournament purses than actual recreational participation. But from a participation perspective, more people are giving up the game than picking it up, and it was declining a few years before the 2008 recession and continued to decline throughout the recovery. If I recall, there were 30MM golfers in 2005, it started declining the year after, and is now below 25MM.

I think it's just going to get worse. In our smartphone/constantly connected world, I think attention spans have just become too short and calendars too busy for many people to fit rounds of golf into it. The under age 35 participation rate is decreasing the fastest. Women have been joining the game, but 3X as many men are leaving it. The game isn't going to disappear or anything, but I think we're still a ways from the bottom.

By the way, all of last year the Golf Galaxy in Southlake had 2013 prov1x x-outs for 29.99. Best deal in golf.

I quit playing Titleist after the 2011 release because those balls sucked. But the 2013 Prov 1x is a badass ball. When and if the prices of the 2013 drop I will load up.

Golf manufacturers as a whole are having declining Sales from an article I read about a year ago. I guess people finally caught up to their bull **** about every new club is better than the one 3 months ago
quote:i hope no taylor made guys follow texags. if so, expect an email from golfwrx in about a week announcing the all-new Taylor Made R-Zero driver, now with its patented ZERO groove face!!!!
There's only so much tech to build into it - at some pont you have to put the grooved metal thing squarely on the ball.
quote:Look no further than the TaylorMade Nubbins from years ago.
What if they start putting grooves on the balls and dimples on the clubfaces?
