I live in Italy (closed to Milan) and here golf is still considered a game for rich. If you want to play an 18hole course (closed to Milan) during the week you pay 65$ (+ or -) during the week-end 110$. In the south of Italy the greenfee is cheaper than here (50$ and 100$). I'm a member of a golf club and I pay every year 1500$ but only for executive course. If I want to play in the normal 18hole course (in my club) I pay other money (+ o -35$). For 25 balls for Practice field (how could I say Practice field in English?) I pay 4$ and for 1hour of lesson 65$.
It's expensive for us!
