Publications like Golf Digest and Golfweek aren't going away anytime soon. But as more and more newspapers are laying off newsroom employees, there is less golf coverage in general.
Ryan Herrington notes in the July 11 edition of Golf World (sorry, couldn't find a link to the story online):
Two decades ago, there were about 30 full-time golf writers at U.S. dailies, now the number is less than 10 and dropping.
Sadly, as the actual newspaper size begins to shrink, Ed Sherman of the Chicago Tribune says the golf section is the first to go in the sports section...
I've already felt the squeeze and I know it is going to get much, much worse. In our paper, what are they going to cut: Cubs' coverage or golf?
