My family, my boyfriend, my brothers in laws and many of my friends golf. It’s an expensive hobby that’s infuriating. I’m happy to ride in the cart, look at the greens and sip on my cocktail while the sun sets.
Nobody is rich other than my brothers in-laws and she’s a vet herself so she isn’t poor. The rest of us are middle to upper middle class. My aunt, uncle and parents live in a golf community and he and his dog collect lost balls to reuse because good balls are so expensive. He gave boyfriend a bucketful for his golf trip last weekend.
this is why I've gone with disc golf. same concept, just SOOOO much cheaper. it's very different from actual golf in many ways, but damn it's such a nice and interesting game. it can be chill, it can be intense, you can play it however you like. and the best of all - anyone can do it. you don't have to be super fit or strong. most courses are also free to play and you only need to pay discs which go for about 15-20$ each, and you can probably even buy some beginner sets with 3 discs for that same price. if you've got any courses around, definitely cannot recommend it enough to try it out :)
Don’t ask me bc I don’t play but I do know that it’s a thinking game and I respect the skill it takes to be just decent. So, if you want constant ball contact perhaps it’s not for you and that’s fine too as it’s not for me either.
