. that must be done to get the younger generation started or interested in golf.
The golf industry is suddenly on the rise. What do you think needs to be done to promote golf to a younger audience, such as HOUYHNHNM's readers?
Komuta:So you just have to think about why you don't do it and analyze it (laughs).
Kobayashi:I'm excited about it, but I don't play that much either.... I don't know why I don't do it (laughs).
Komuta:One of the most common stories I hear is that "the younger demographic is starting to play golf." . but there are still a lot of older people in the population.
Kobayashi:There seem to be many people who have quit golf once, retired from their jobs, and are returning to the sport to give it another try.
Komuta:As for how to get the younger generation to look at golf...I have some thoughts on that.
Kobayashi:For example?
Komuta:I am mainly talking about male professional golfers, but I personally feel that there are not many young star players who are the object of admiration. . To put it more simply, stylish and fashionable players. Golf is a major sport, and the number of people who play it is quite large, but why is this?
Kobayashi:Well, in our own time, it would be Tiger Woods, for example.
Komuta:. yes, yes. It was shtick, wasn't it, Tiger? . Of course, this is only one aspect of my opinion from a fashion point of view. But anyway, I think that the presence of many stars and icons is a great reason to start a sport.
Kobayashi:That might be important.
