golfing and yachting

Until I arrived here in New Zealand I was convinced that golfing and yachting were rich men's hobbies. However, in NZ this is not true. I paid $80 entrance fee and $1/day as full member of the Narrows golf club in Hamilton. I bought 200 used balls @ 40 cents each from a garage sale and have been using those for 3 years. The new two piece balls seem to last forever. Very often during a round I found more balls on the course than I lost.
