If you compare hard-core to hard core, even the most expensive of mountain
bikes has got nothing on golf. Yeah, the $4000 set of clubs is nothing
compared to a $10K bike, but figure in the cost of playing at THE golf course
(often hundreds of dollars for a round), the disposable $5-a-pop balls, the
country club membership, etc and I have to believe that golf still takes it.
Many clubs are thousands a month just to be a member-and they still charge you
for the golf cart! And of course you're not a serious golfer if you play at
JUST your home club, so you're still paying greens fees on top of that
membership.
Then there's the simple fact that the people I ride with are just flat-out
cooler than anyone I've ever met on the golf course. 😉
