Hey all. I am working on an article for work and was wondering if anyone could let me know about how much money the average amateur golfer spends on the sport each year (particularly on equipment). Please provide link to a reliable source.

I know I could just google it myself, but honestly I think this way might be faster.

Thanks!

way too much.

I calculated it last year, but it included my vacation and memberships and league dues. I can look it up for you when I get home if you like.

Don't worry about it. It is not a crucial element for the article. I was just curious and if I knew the answer I would put it in.

Ask the average hacker who wants to get better how much he paid for the driver that has a head the size of a brick that will "improve his game". Then add in what Zwick said! ;-)
