Who says golf is in decline?

Don't count Jason Becker in that camp. The Bonita Springs golf professional is building a promising business called Golf Membership Consultants that matches avid golfers in northern states with clubs and communities in Florida.

There are 165 golf clubs from Port Charlotte to Naples and 700,000 private-club members from Minnesota to Maine. With 1,000 people moving to Florida per day, Becker hopes to match them with the right club.
