Just curious as to a percentage of your anual income, not actual dollar amount, you spend on Golf per year. Include: green fees, balls, clubs, shoes, clothing, range balls, private membership fees, magazine subscriptions, lessons, gadgets, bar tabs, gambling losses and any other costs I'm leaving out. I'm just interested to see what the percentages are, maybe open some eyes. Lol

I'd say a good 10%. I'm insane!

That's from MY personal income, though...not mine and my wife's combined. In that case it would be more like 5% (we make about the same $ yearly).

Both my wife and I play. Between memberships at two clubs and a couple of golf vacations each year, probably 6-8%.

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds of if my wife sees this thread, she may make me give up the game.

On the other hand, if she did that I can argue that therapy is much more expensive.

11.3%

Sorry I thought you meant certain parts of golf. Then it's 70% for me. Music and phone service are the only other parts.

I don't want to do the math, and more importantly I don't want my wife to see the math. But most of my golf money goes into my collection.

Less than 3% of Gross...
My wife works too and plays less so if you count household income.

She probably spends more on Scrap booking.....
