Is golf a "rich man's" sport?

IN the sense that you need $300-500 clubs to be able to play consistently (renting is way more expensive and not really practical)…on the other hand, you can spend that much on lacrosse, swim, etc, equipment (I know a swimmer who pays $300 per suit that lasts her 4 competition days…)

also, there are much fewer places to play golf-you can only go to a driving range, mini-golf, public golf course, or country club

the public courses by me (18 holes) are about $50-70 per game, and then an additional fee for golf cart, etc
