On this post, I'd like to talk about why I sneak on golf courses. The most obvious reason is cost. Golf course costs are at an all time high in comparison to course maintenance and value. Another major reason is addiction. I can honestly say that I am addicted to golf and more so, quality greens and fairways.
I shoot near scratch golf and started so in high school. Playing high school and some college golf blinds the realities of golf cost. You are able to play a nice course everyday as part of "practice" and have all the range balls in the world. As part of a team, you are usually priveleged to nicer, $30-plus courses at great variety. My team went to tournaments all over the metropolitan area.
The coaches, instructors and golf pros do not realize how they are spoiling kids to golf and then expect them to pay ridiculous fees as soon as they turn 22 and graduate college. I think there needs to be another cost bracket for non-professionals who are 20-30. I do work hard and am on track to make a decent salary, but right now I can't pay to play as a did in high school and college. Some tell me to just hit the range and hit balls. The range does nothing to soothe the addiction of a single digit handicapper.
Ultimately, sneaking on golf courses is a crime and can be punishable by prosecution. If there is anyone who has been prosecuted and jailed, I'd like to hear about it.
