Because its involve lots of money. I was just walking in the sport section of a department store yesterday and came to realise that a box of golf balls (12) of any kinds is more expensive than a football (soccer). In golf, you can loose a box in a round of golf (i.e. hitting into the waters, jungles, off the mountains and all sorts of hazards and lost it). And that is only for one player. Think about it, a soccer ball is played again and again by two teams of a total of 22 players.
Golf's is also called a gentleman game because nobody fight over the ball, as each one has his own, unlike soccer and definitely not very violent like American football, where loads of people hitting each other for one ball!!!!
Plsme. I can think of other kind of more expensive sports though; like horse back polo, where each player must have five expensive horses (may cost each 100,000 USD), and sailing yarcht (how about 10 million USD), Ballons, speed boats, sports cars (formular 1)..

OK, because it is not really physically demanding, it is more of a mind game then an actual physical sport. Example, football, baseball, basketball, or hockey. Now look at the cost of equipment needed, the clubs, the balls, and golf shoes, etc. Ok go practice, are you walking the course or renting a cart? Do you want a caddy to carry your clubs, watch your ball, and even make some suggestions. All of this can not be afforded on a cashier from Mickey Dee's salary!!!

Eisen is not the best at all, but neither is Deion. I like the way Marshall Faulk has an explanation for his analysis, shows me he actually thinks about the things he says. Michael Irvin should just go away. Eisen has some seriously ridiculous comments and they should get someone to replace him that has a lick of football sense. Deion is just an idiot...that 21st and Prime crap gets on my nerves! I am also SO SICK of hearing Deion say "Pay the man!!" Deion is the reason Michale Crabtree sat out so long, and Dez Bryant has been booted for a year for dealing with this ********. If you want to get rid of someone, get rid of Deion.

At one time, golf courses were private, and only the wealthy could afford to play golf.

It was known as a rich man's game. equipment these days can be purchased at a low price, and you don't need to belong to a club to play. There are plenty of public courses to play that are inexpensive.
