As an avid golfer, I try to play as much golf as possible during our short season. This will include many rounds at my home course (where I am a member) and an opportunity to play at other local courses. The challenge faced by many golfers, including myself, is the cost of playing away from our home track. I realize that in some areas, the opportunities are boundless, however living in a rural area does not afford me the same opportunity. Chatting about the cost of golf with some people makes me wonder if the golf industry is squeezing out many players due to the rising costs of everything. It does make me wonder; how about you?
