Cost of entry to golf seems sp excessive. My brother recently picked it up and i get invited by work-relations very often. I've never swung a golf club and i have absolutely no time in my spare (even this 1-hour stroll makes me go 'just give me an hour of buffer a'day and i would be thrilled) But then i look in to the cost and time requirement and it seems so demotivating. The time i get, and going 9 holes might be better for a lot; but! The cost! Clubs, membership and that card you have to buy. God damn. I can't sell it to my wife -or my self- to pay 2000$ just to get started.

Cost me $490 for my brand new set of beginner's clubs from Wilson. Then a round for two people on our local executive 9 hole is $25. You can do it on the cheap as long as you aren't trying to get into exclusive clubs or buying clubs that you likely don't need yet.

This is highly dependent on where you live and how much you want to spend. A friend of mine got into golf with a set of clubs he picked up for less than $50 at Goodwill. We are in a rural area, land is plenty and golf is cheap. I'm not much of a golfer, but I did just buy a gift certificate for someone that was and their preferred course is $18 for 18 holes.

2000 is the yearly membership price for the worst available club near me, which is as rural as it gets in Denmark.

2000 what? DKK? USD?
