To play golf, one typically must have disposable / discretionary income. While greens fees adjusted for inflation are among the lowest rates ever, they nevertheless add up. Golf is relatively expensive in cost, and can be even more expensive in time. Even a nearby course can cost you 5 hours of travel and playing time. While golfers consider the time spent on an enjoyable course to be time well spent, the same cannot be said when we are playing a course that is in poor condition, particularly if we paid a price commensurate with a well conditioned golf course in the same area. We feel that we wasted valuable time.
