Played golf on friday. Shot ok. 42 on a decently difficult 9 holes (with 5 pars, two 3-putts, and a number of missed 10 foot birdie putts), which is ok for my second round of golf in two years.

Now I've got the itch to play. I just can't afford it with all my payments at the time.

I never fully appreciated being able to play for free in college while on the golf team. I've got to figure out something. Maybe become friends with a head pro.

I'm not at the country club level yet, and I'm not sure I want to be. People spend a lot of money on golf. Probably too much. A couple of my friends pay thousands to play at private clubs, but they're located 15-20 miles out of town and don't end up playing 'em that much. One guy said he ended up paying over a hundred dollars a round one year because he only played a dozen or so rounds.

Now, that's just silly. I pay less than $600 a year for a season pass at a local muny and play whenever I want. You don't have anything like that where you play?

I know it's tough to justify big bucks for golf when you're young. After all, it's still a luxury, not a necessity.
