Why is golf recognized as a rich person's sport

 The entry-barrier for golf is very high. The construction cost of golf courses is very expensive. First, the choice of site consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Second, asking the designer to design a suitable golf course according to the venue is very expensive. Then there are the maintenance of the venue, the salary of the caddies, the coach, the maintenance and renovation of the service facilities, and the exclusive services of VIP members, etc. Not to mentions the great operating profit aimed by the investors.

Golf is a sport that we salary men have seen in many TV dramas and many high-end business men talk about business affairs on golf courses. It seems that this sport is a sport played by the rich persons.

The following will analyze in detail the reasons why golf is expensive.

1. The golf course is very large (everyone knows this). Furthermore, golf courses are generally built in economically developed areas. So it is not an easy job to build a golf course in an expensive place.

2. There are two ways to enter the golf course. One is to apply for a membership card (bosses' choice). The membership fee is something most people cannot afford. The other is to find a third party to help book the venue (compared to the membership registration, it is more economical, but also very expensive). For those who just want to experience it, this is enough.

3. The cost of the ball equipment is high. The equipment is also one of the reasons to dissuade many people. Although the wear rate of golf equipment is not very high, it will definitely need to be replaced after a few years. The price of replacing a batch is beyond my imagination.
