Not too hard to get $2500 or so in a bag. My clubs aren't the most expensive, Taylor Made driver ($350), Three Orlimar woods ($250 each) R7 irons ($1200, and would be more if you went graphite) Rescue hybrid ($250), sandwedge ($100), Putter ($150)

But the real cost in Golf is the $25,000 initation fee, $400 a month memerships, the $4 balls, and the $25 cart fees.

Even bike racing with the travel is cheap compared to a serious golf addiction.
