Golf the equipment is too expensive and the balls are too small.

no..what's frustrating is, the ball doesn't move.... i'm used to hitting a ball that's moving (baseball, tennis, etc...).. this ball doesn't move, yet it doesn't go where I want it to..

I haven't bought any new clubs etc for over 7 years. I bought new shoes last Nov ($75) and once every in awhile, I'll buy a dozen/fifteen golfballs ($35ish or so)

Greens fees are usually $35-50.

Cheaper than buying bait, buying gas for the boat, then cleaning the boat, etc etc.

Now, if they had a *caddy* service when a struggling single mother can pilot a boat selling (like a golfcart girl), then maybe I might start fishing more.

You need friends with boats not a boat yourself. Hookers/ bikini babes flock to water so finding "help" is usually not an issue.

Equipment isn't the expense, it's the greens fees. $15-20 for 9 holes (the norm up here) 2 or 3 times a week... That's well over $1000 for our 5 month season.

And, of course, if you haven't played in a while and need all new gear, then that first season is terrible expensive.
