Unfortunately that only works when you live in a place where people do play golf, and where playing golf does not cost a year of your income...

- TreyS 13y agoMost big cities in the U.S. have quality public courses that aren't horribly expensive. Near NYC, there's Bethpage (recently hosted U.S. Open) http://nysparks.com/golf-courses/11/fees-rates.aspx http://nysparks.com/golf-courses/11/fees-rates.aspx and near SF there's TPC Harding Park (http://www.tpc.com/tpc.asp?id=7&page=778 http://www.tpc.com/tpc.asp?id=7&page=778 reasonably priced for SF residents). But yes joining a country club would be a year of your income. Disclaimer: Never played either just heard positive things about both. Edit: U.S. cities (no idea about elsewhere)
- speeder 13y agoI am from Brazil, not the sort of the country where Golf is popular... The only persons I knew that used to play it, were really, really rich (ie: have more than 10 million USD or something like that, that to a brazillian is absurd, I think 10 million USD puts you into the top half percent or something like that, since earning 2k USD/mo already puts you into top 5%) EDIT: Just checked the Green Fee on the golf course that exists on my city, it is frigging 300 USD, it is almost a month mininum wage.
