Good Morning! Participation in the sport of golf has found its post-recession footing, says the National Golf Foundation. According to its newly released golf participation study, golfers playing at least one round of golf in 2014 hit 25 million, and did so for the third straight year.

Rounds completed per playable day and the average number of rounds played per golfer were also up. Overall, committed (core) golfers are putting more zip in the game, playing two more rounds on average per year than they did in 2005.

Tell us if you are playing more golf and if you are seeing increased participation where you play. We’ll post your answers in a future blog post. In the meantime, read about our communities’ homes, events, travel packages and more below.–David Lott, Founder/Publisher
