[desifemlove]

[roadhog]

Your looking at about 12-15 k I believe. It could be more. Plus buying clubs or renting them every time

[desifemlove]

[Pablo660]

Chaguramas is 35 for driving range and 95 for a rounds

[Pablo660]

[Redman]

I spent 1 hr on a field with my father knocking the balls around.

Ended when I pelt away the blasted club-frustrated as fcuk.
He couldnt stop laughing.

Its a great game but frustrating as all hell.

Here's how not to learn:
Your mother's broom handle and a round stone.

You might have to pay for someone's window.

12K everywhere? but no, golf clubs' prices ent vary, ent?

[nemisis]

^^^ 12k being low 13k being high ie they vary between those two figures he quoted was his meaning....they also have a written assessment on language and etiquette to ensure the game remains a gentleman escape.....

How 12k for a set of golf clubs?

It's under 200US for a set and it only weighs about 25lbs.. so 300US if you fly it in. 10% duty and 15% VAT so maximum for a cheap set of clubs would be 2500 if you go real cheap maybe under 2000.

[Pablo660]

Golf clubs 12000 for beginner lol
3000 and u get a fine set callaway
N u good
I got a Medicus driver also to practice my swing.
There is a guy in chaguramas , reallll good amazing u could go up an ask for lessons

Moka approx 12k annually
Chaguaramas 1800k annually
Trincity 7000k annually

As a beginner buying new clubs should not be your focus. At trincity the range is lit and open until 9:30pm daily. You can rent a club for $20...a bucket of balls is $30 then you can hit to your hearts content.. after that if you think you can handle the game seek lessons from any of the teaching Pros available, the clerks at the counter can book lessons for you.

Lessons are 250/hr ...its a lovely game...greatest game invented and it will teach you more about yourself in the process.

Where you getting this from? I paid 175usd for my 'on sale' Ping driver.

I have a net at home to practice. Best thing to do. Never joined a range yet though.

[5onDfloor]

I bought my titleist AP2 for $3100tt inclusive of Skybox fees.

a golf shoe can cost you anywhere from 50 -200usd all brands Nike Addidas Puma FootJoy etc.

i am sure OP has Polos or button ups as we call it in Trinidad....Dockers long or short or even dress pants

Golf bag about 120USD

Your only recurring expenditure would be Golf balls and Gloves...but more so balls, you will lose alot lol!

hmmm.. cyah afford maraval (yet lol.) but will look into Trincity.

[janfar]

Its was the cheapest one in the store. I didnt have much time to wait on a delivery.

Good info though for when im ready for my set.

[5onDfloor]

The membership in Maraval is very clique-ish...you will be better off with any other of the clubs

There is also point-a-pierre ..brechin castle and usine st. Madeline

[cerebral_assassin]

I play at Brechin Castle most evenings because its nearby for me, and Millenium on weekends. Brechin Castle is a good place to start.

Good 9 hole course with back tees that plays to a full 18 hole course, the length is about 6800 yards, so its challenging.

The membership is $1200 to join, covers the year.

Send me a pm if you want a membership form.

[Halfbreed07]

If you need to ask the price to play golf, you can't afford it.

[j.o.e]

Anyone knows if the tennis courts at Brechin Castle are still maintained?

[5onDfloor]

If you need to ask the price to play golf, you can't afford it.

Oh really?...that's a very uneducated statement. The game is no longer an Elitist sport. People from all walks of our society plays the game today.

[chevy3k]

Chaguaramas is great for you to start.
there are clinics for three stages; beginners, intermediate & advance.
clinic prices average $700 beg,- $1500 through to advance. I believe its about six or eight sessions for each clinic on Sundays.

you can get a used set of good clubs & bag for about $1500-$2000 depending on golfers upgrading.
used clubs are the way to go. As a beginner you're gonna dig up some dirt. upgrade when you can handle the swings. (lemme know if you need a set, if any is available i can link you)
i believe a clinic started a couple weeks ago though.

golf is not cheap, but every one has to maintain their vice.
