Hi Sam. Well it clicked with me at 10 & it bit me hard. Must be the scot blood....Got out with youngest son at 5:30 today. You didn't have "Everyday" or "Obsessive/ Compulsive about it" listed, so 2 or more a week it is.
_____ I just noticed I can have only 4 emotions per post....

Sam, I promise not to pull your leg, if'n ya promise not to look up me kilts! Allow me to go on too long about this noble game -The name golf may have been derived from the old Scots verb " to gowff" meaning to "strike hard." The earliest known written detail on the subject of golf is from King James II in 1457 who demanded that "fute-ball and golfe be utterly cryed down and not to be used." The King was concerned that his citizens were so involved in leisurely pursuits that they were neglecting the Royal and vital sport of archery, which would protect him from the enemy. It took until 1502, in the reign of King James IV and a Treaty of Perpetual Peace (which didn't last!) with England's King Henry VII before the Scots were allowed to spare the time on such pursuits. King James IV himself played the game at Perth. Mary Queen of Scots was known to play a round or two and by the end of the 16th century it was noted that people were neglecting attendance at church in order to indulge in their favourite pastime.I did not know that Scotland has something to do with golf. Or are you just pulling my leg?
Are you going to create a poll to "democratically" determine how many emoticons one can have in a post? Count me out!
It's a bit less than what I would spend on heroin addictionHey guys, considering the cost of golf, I think 2 or more a week is obsessive/compulsive. How much do you guys (Dawg52 and DanTien) spend annually on this sport?

that's a good deal Dawg..would encourage me to play more..Exactly $2,580 per year. I belong to a club and that includes unlimited number of rounds of golf per year, and storage cost/trail fees for my personal golf cart. Oh yes, that includes a nominal allowance for beverages and food.($15/mo) Actually my total cost is more than that as I occasionally play other courses, but who's counting?
Sooooooo, when anyone ask 'what do you do all day?'.............well the answer is obvious.
I don't know a single thing about this. Will report back once I get some experience.- kinda like not worrying about how much a gift costs for a mistress.
I bet the number's higher once you include equipments (clubs, shoes, and other acessories.)Exactly $2,580 per year.

Personally, I'd spend three times that if I had too! I don't, but I would. I really love the sport, it is highly challenging and lots and lots of fun. Not only do I get 4 hours of walking done (just think of all that beneficial exercise!), I meet interesting new people almost every time I play. I can't imagine not playing at least a few times a month.\\

Dawg, I've got a long way to match the guy I just read about in Golf Digest - guy from Minnesota! What? Not Arizona or Florida? - has the record for most rounds played in a year - 638!
just back from the links - didn't burn it up but did have an exciting long chip-in that made me feel good about my game and life itself... good deal for you and the more you play the cheaper it gets...I figure this guy snowbirds it to Arizona...I did manage to play on Dec14 last year and spring is coming earlier every year, still I refuse to play when it's under 30. The balls get to cold and cuts down on distance.Thats incredible. I live in MS and can play pretty much year round. During the winter I can probably play an average of 2 rounds per week. The rest of year I will average 4-5 times per week. So that would work out to be around 190-200 rounds per year. I rarely play more than 18 per day.
So 200 rounds per year at $2,580 = $12.90/per round. Pretty cheap entertainment.
