I used to play golf. $3000.00 initial stock purchase, $4,500.00 dues per year, $150.00 per month restaurant/pro shop fee ( whether you use it or not ) then still have to pay cart fees. After years of this expense I don't even have golf balls to show for it. ( they are in the ponds or somewhere in the woods ) That's why I went back to racing at least I have a car when I'm done and it's a lot more "quiet"
