The number of people playing golf has dropped or stayed flat since 2000. What's up with that? Well, fatherhood for one thing. Sports business commentator Diana Nyad explains.

Marketplace Confessional

"Your segment regarding the price of bread suggested that relief may come from higher production of wheat. I assume because that would bring down the price of wheat. I doubt that a reduction in the price of wheat will help the consumer very much. Wheat is currently at about $8.50 per bushel (60 pounds) or 14.2 cents per pound. It takes 1.36986 pounds of wheat to make 1 pound of flour . . . " "
