Just reading this a year later and would be curious how both sports have done in that time. With the down economy I seem to hear a lot about golf courses taking lumps, while it sure seems like we hear more about cycling all the time. Of course, I do think that is because cycling is generally a not an elitist sport. But heck, even an elitist $8,000 bike is cheaper than just the initiation fee in most country clubs.

Well, we also have the “CEO King of the Mountain Challenge” on February 14 as part of the new San Jose Cycling Classic (and will your boss take part on that CEO challenge? or will he join every other cycling fan in Sacramento that day?)

How do you close half of a golf course?

I always figured golf’s popularity was purely demographic. The aging boomers could no longer handle pick-up or amateur-league road hockey or touch football, etc. I’ll prove my hypothesis when:

1. Shuffleboard replaces golf when their knees finally give out
2. Chess replaces shuffleboard when their bodies completely collapse
3. Checkers replaces chess as their minds follow

Now, I *would* welcome golf being replaced by something more active, adventurous and exciting for the sub-40’s that waste too much time hitting that silly little ball into the little cup.
