The day when golf is more popular than soccer....

Why is it that every 4/5 year old in my county is enrolled in a soccer league and not in golf? Let's think....

-Money: By the time you're done buying their uniform, shoes, chin-guards, pay the league fee, grilling out at games, travel fees as they get older, etc.. soccer is probably just as expensive as golf.
-Time: Soccer is an all weekend event for some families.Golf is no different.
-Safety: I know in golf we swing metal sticks around- but I don't know the last time I heard of a kid twisting an ankle or getting bruises and scrapes on the course.
-Speed: I know golf is thought of as slow... but if Soccer is so awesome and exciting why can't the Major Leagues thrive in the U.S.? Where are all the spectators?
-Exercise: Yes, running around for over an hour is a great workout, but have you ever walked 9-18 holes on a hilly course with a golf back on your back? Its not as easy at is sounds! Plus there is always speed golf!
-Team sport: Maybe part of the draw is the comradery and team spirit? Sounds like the Ryder Cup to me... maybe we should make junior golf programs team oriented!
-The Beckham factor: hmmm... you think this could be why? I know Tiger's not perfect, but he's still a pretty inspirational competitor...
Scholarships: Even if there are more spots available for soccer scholarships there are probably 10x the kids vying for them.
-Sport for a lifetime: Soccer is NOT this- there are Grandmas who play golf but haven't seen any lace-'em up for "football" in a while.
-Age- Most soccer programs start at 2 or 3 yrs old. Most golf programs don't start kids until 6 or 7... maybe golf is missing out because kids start too late?
-Tailgating: Ah ha! This must be the reason! I need to create a new format. Golf Cart Tailgate Party Junior Team Speed Golf for ages 2& up! I'm on it... look for details coming soon!:)
