A few years ago there used to be an add on tv here for ...toursim? maybe .......which had an Hong Kong Businessman coming to NZ to play golf, as it HK it was a two year waiting list and a $20,000 joining fee.

The local course here has a casual fee for one off rounds during the week (if there is no tournament on) of something like NZ$20 (about nine pounds)

OH can never afford to play in Tenerife. He did play in Lanzarote (they only have one course) once but somebody treated him to a round. Don't suppose he would afford to play in Spain at that price either. It only costs that because he has a five day membership and can't play weekends (but why would he want to?)

Ann thats not bad

I fume at times that we have 2 sets off clubs here (only OH plays) we are surrounded by golf courses but they are so expensive. OH used to belong to a club but the cheap rate was too far for him to get back in time for work.
He actually works on one of the "big" courses but at €185 a round he wlll not be playing there !

Mine plays 3 times a week (weekdays) but I don't mind as it only costs him £45 a month.
