2009 - How much did you REALLY spend on golf?

[JustOne]

Membership, green fees, gloves, balls, tees, a new trolley, a new putter, £50 on a custom fitting..... yada yada.

Add it all up how much do you reckon you spent on golf in 2009?

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

I think round about £1000, but i think it couldve been more .

 

[Tommo21]

I've just tallied it up, hope ma burd iznea looking in, £2000 easy.

 

[algar5]

On counting it all up I'm up at £1500 and thats a conservative estimate.

 

[andiritchie]

Quick count of £1500ish but probally is a lot more.

Its not a lot considering the cost of other sports

 

[Smiffy]

I reckon a minimum of £1500 maybe £2000.00

New irons, new woods, new putter(s), new bags, subs, balls & tees etc. And that doesn't include greens fee money spent playing other courses.......
Can be a selfish hobby this can't it?

 

[Tiger]

Probably £1750 with no membership fees. Would like to think it would be less next year but with my woods to buy, membership to pay for and a few other bits and pieces it looks like I'm screwed. Especially as most of this years funds came courtesy of my 30th Bday!

 

[USER1999]

Membership at 1000, new driver 280, golf bag 35, golf holiday in Fl 5000 minimum, shoes 50, ball about 35, don't buy tees, clothes about 100, greenfees about 300. So about 6800 not including beer. About average I guess.

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Somewhere around £1000. Includes club/green fees, new irons, visitors fees, balls etc.
Not bad IMO.

 

[bobmac]

£30 on balls
£50 on grips
£100 on shoes
£100 on waterproofs
£3000 on the you-know-what
Plus lessons, so I guess I'm in profit

 

[HTL]

About 3k. However, with a wedding to pay for next year I cant see me doing the same again in 2010.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

About 2,500 but with my fees at 1,300 alone and a new set of R9's at nearly 600 that wasn't too bad. I think the majority went on lessons, a new golfing wardrobe (golf shirts, jumpers, shoes etc) and range cards

 

[Dodger]

Subs plus money spent at club...£600.
Away days,travel to opens/league golf etc and golf hols incl travel....£1500.
Gear....£400.
Other golf related costs....£ Who Knows,I shudder to think!

Circa £3000

Being able to play this great game all over UK and Europe whenever I wish.....PRICELESS!

As it's been my first year playing it's been a bit expensive, far more than I expected. There always seems to be something else I need. But it should drop considerably now as I have just about all the kit I really need.

I'm trying to resist the urge this year and stick with what I have. Apart from maybe a new putter just after Christmas with my AG vouchers

I actually track all my expenses so I know exactly.

It's £3,653.68

That's including £1,100 membership, locker (£100), Lessons (£200). A couple of R9 Drivers (Don't ask - £600), new wedges (£150), trolley (£100), new bag (£120), waterproofs (£150), clothes (£400 - I like clothes ). Plus probably about £100 in range balls. God knows how much in new balls.

I actually brought my irons, putter and original Driver, 3 wood and hybrids in Sep 09. So have been another £800-£900 on that was well I guess.

Damn I hate adding things up. Ignorance is bliss. But I think it's been money well spent.

The enjoyment I've got out of golf this year and the new friends I've made has made it worth every penny.

 

[jammydodger]

£1000 on clubs
£800 fees
£300 Gokart
£150 balls

[rgs]

New irons & a 3 wood €400, membership €1500, Society outings approx €600, balls €50, misc expenses €200--thats €2750 pus petrol adds up to around €3,000.00.

How much? What bloody size is your locker....a tardis?!

 

[Fyldewhite]

Around 2 grand when you work it out.....
Subs £500
PowaKaddy £350
Irons £300
Wedges £100

Couple of one-offs there but the missus is playing now too so double up on subs from next year. Still, I won a nice watch in our Captains so it is all worth while !! Won't be giving up the day job just yet.
