I have a golf addiction, but I don't think it is any worse than my friend's snowboarding addiction. He spends $1,000 every 1-2 years on new gear + $500 for a season pass + lodging + gas for his huge 4x4 truck. A $1,000 set of clubs lasts a lot longer than a $1,000 snow board. It's all relative. That being said, I def. up for a game if anyone in the east bay wants to play, and sign me up if you guys ever have a BAR scramble.
