Default i'm going golfing for the first time evar..

.. with some coworkers for a work thing.

apparently it's a pretty prestigious members-only course. home of the "world's longest golf course". i looked up membership fees, they're something ridiculous, like $65k initial for an individual. :eek4:

my golfing friends are jealous. h:

this is going to be an embarassment. :chuckles:

There are a few nasty priced ones out here as well...I don't even want to know what Torrey Pines membership is if the green fees for non SD resident are like $240 per round :eek3:

Pete Dye Golf Course beside my house is $65k initial, $10k annual to keep membership. It is like $180 a round to play per person, and the caddies make between $70-$100 a round .

I used to caddy there, and the course is super hard.... We played free on Mondays.

Haha yeah I golfed on one of those a couple weeks back. It's a PGA professional class course. I sucked so bad :lmao: My clubs (~$150 total, ebay and a nice sand wedge from k3ifers) cost less than 2 rounds of golf at the place :rofl:
