re: Golf "etiquette" and rules are why young people dont get into it

My sister lives in Birmingham and my 12 year old nephew is playing travel soccer. They have spent something like 2500 last year in fees, not including travel expenses. Travel sports are stupidly expensive for what they are. I understand the value once you reach a certain age but it is silly to spend 4 or 5k on travel ball on a 12 year old.

Exactly. It is getting crazy expensive to play soccer and baseball. I don't know much about football. More and more kids are getting into golf because of it in my area.
