My First Golf Experience

Learning golf is an excellent pastime. I have enjoyed every bit of it. Today I was talking with Jenny in the driving range. She said that golfing is a costly activity compared with playing basketball. When I add all recent spending related to golf, it amounts to some significant number. Over the past several weeks, the spending is listed below.

(1) Golf clubs: $300/3-year, or $100/year.
(2) Club membership: $25/month, equivalent to $300/year.
(3) Three rounds of golf: $83/month, or $1,000/yr
(4) Golf shoes (two pairs): $100/year.
(5) Golf balls, tees, gloves, etc: $25/3-month, or $100/year.

The total cost based on the above listings is approximately $1600/year. I do not know what are the other costs associated with golfing. Like in engineering estimate, I use a safety factor of 1.25. Then the estimated annual golfing cost is $2000/year.
