There's enough room in the park to hit a 7 iron -- barely. I won't be able to afford the number of rounds of golf I would like this coming year, but at least I'll be keeping the swing alive for when I can play golf. Of course, I can chip, pitch and putt for free at a local course, so I'll be doing more of that, too. So -- less golf, but better?

I am also good friends with a person who owns a high end club fitting business so I get clubs and shafts at cost. The local driving range I work at has seen some downturn this year in business but we expect it to return and some of it was due to bad weather earlier in the year. A local muni has chosen to resurface their greens so they must be doing well. Golf is powerful it survived the great depression and will survive these weak financial times.

Muni golf all the time - this year 3 upscale exceptions vs 10 to 15 - and I bring my own soda and water. Equipment expenses slashed from thousands to hundreds. Driving range visits drastically reduced in favor of free putting and chipping practice at local mini. Know what? Golf is still a thrill to play.
