You only need a football ticket to go to a match, if you play golf you need a membership, clubs, bag, balls ,gloves ,tees ,clothes, shoes. If you get lessons they can be expensive. It all adds up to a fairly substantial amount so I'd certainly say it was on the more expensive side of hobbies
Yes but it does not need to be so, buy all the equipment except shoes second hand, lake balls and cheap gloves off ebay. Possible total cost around £100 by shopping wisely Once you have got most of the kit it can last for years if looked after, my first set of kit lasted me for 8 years. My brother has only ever bought one golf bag in 30+ years of playing and just two sets of irons in that time.
