can someone bring that into perspective for us “non-golfers” \
How much does it cost to golf per week?

What would this 52 times have cost the average american?

I have NO concept $10 wk, $100 wk, $1000 wk?

I’m sure there are many others like me.

Depends on the course and day of the week.

We play on Wed. on a public course for $20 which includes cart and a hot dog between nines. Same course on Sat. is $45.

But that’s rock bottom. “Good” courses can be $75-$200 or more. I think Pebble Beach is $500 or more.

Then add beer, tips, balls, lunch, etc. You can pay as much as you want, really.

I can't deny a man the pleasure of a round of golf. The game is not just for the rich and famous. I'm retired and I play once a week. my buddies and I play a round, drink a few beers and have a ham sandwich in the club house. But, I play the game cause I love it. It's a game you can't win, but you have to keep playing. I don't think that Obama understands that, He's just not that humble. I'll take him in a $100.00 Nassau, and I'll probably win (I have a 12 handicap). I may be old, but I'm not dead!

I actually prefer him on a golf course doing damage to sand and the rough than over in the white house doing damage to our country.

President Obama has played 52 rounds of golf in less than two years in office. The U.S. unemployment, down economy and two wars have not tampered his leisure time. In comparison, President Bush played a total of 24 rounds of golf in eight years.

If Bush had done this, it would have been on the front page of the NYTimes everyday.
