If you play twice a week your total golf bill is 104 - 44 =60 rounds at an average of 31 =1800/yr plus 1925
So for $3725 you play twice a week.
It's not for me at this time. If I was tearing up the execs I might think differently. I want to play 9 holes or more in the afternoon after the wave.
When is the wave? Playing in the summer is practically free at 5pm.

Great analysis, but I'm not sure I get the point. Golf is expensive?
I was imply siding with those who believe the championship courses are semi-private, and cited a published definition to support that claim.
As far as the cost, I play 2x/week for 24 weeks out of the year and pay far more per year, so TV golf is a huge bargain for me, even after paying greens fees and priority membership
As far as "tearing up" the execs goes, it's not that easy. Par threes generally play to a higher scoring average than 4's and 5's, and much more if looking at strokes/yard
