I disagree that the economy isn't the biggest culprit. When disposable income become more valuable and the cost of golf can be quite prohibitive for beginners to start and add expensive green fees and golf becomes a luxury.

I guess I jsut disagree. To me the people with the most disposable income, teenagers, aren't learning the game. I think that part of it is because the game is hard to learn. A lot of teenagers don't want to spend the time to learn how to swing a golf club. The game is dying because young people are not picking the game up. They need to to fill the void(s) left by the oldest generations who grew up with golf, and too many teenagers aren't doing that.
