Sorry, You'll Have To Find Another Store For Your Hideous Pants
-
Golfsmith, the golf store, has gone bankrupt, and, yes, it does seem like all the sporting goods store chains other than Dick's, Academy, and Modell's have gone under. And there's the effect on the vendors like Nike and Under Armour, who are dealing with a lot of customers going away. But the larger issue for this one is: What's happening to golf? They say that the number of players has dropped way off from the peak. The interest, post-Tiger, just isn't there, and younger fans have moved on to other sports. I never got into golf, partly because any time I've tried it, I was terrible, and partly because who the hell has that much time and money to devote to a sport that slow? (Bloomberg)
