Golf is considered to be an expensive sport when you take into account the price of a decent set of clubs, golf balls, green fees, shoes and gloves. If you want to keep up on the latest technology, you are looking at potentially thousands of dollars every few years.
Plus you need private golf lessons that may cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Private lessons are great if you can afford multiple lessons sustained over a period of time. If you can’t then you need to look for inexpensive alternatives to private lessons, for instance books or instructional DVD series.
