It's like thinking you are getting "free" shipping with Amazon Prime - the cost is buried in the item's price.
I get it - so at one time there were no trail fees? So golf used ot really be FREE? When did they start charging trail fees?
I knew about the trail fee before I bought, so I never had the impression, other than a commercial I saw on TV, that golf was free. I actually talked to people, asked my realtor, etc.
