On the heels of a 60 minutes report on the business of the American lifestyle, the NY Times is reporting that 3 million Americans stop golfing every year.

I played for my high school's varsity team in golf, but I gave up the sport after high school. I mostly stopped because it was too costly in time and money to maintain a competitive game. And now that I'm in LA, I plan on picking up golf when I leave the state in 20 or 30 years.

The NY Times story mentions that other sports have gained popularity, so perhaps some people are out kayaking or something. I'm mostly watching re-runs of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, so it's not me.
