Kris Hart finds it hard to argue with visible evidence. So when he steps out to Bryan National Golf Course Saturday for the first round of the National Collegiate Club Golf Association’s Spring National Championship and sees more than 300 avid collegiate golfers buzzing around the course, he’ll find it hard to believe that the game is dying among millennials.
With dozens of teams playing and fundraising their way to Browns Summit, N.C., for a shot at the national title, and the rapid growth of club golf in general, Hart would argue that it’s thriving.
"There's a lot of good happening in millenial golf and we're a prime example of that,” said Hart, the CEO and co-founder of Nextgengolf, which runs the NCCGA and offers other team-based golf outlets for college students and young professionals.
