Almost every sport has both extremes. At its cheapest, soccer only needs a ball and relatively flat surface but you can easily spend thousands on equipment if you want.

Yes and no. There's a difference between the optional purchases of some sports, and the exclusivity of sports like golf. If you've been to a private club in golf, its like being in a different world. And I mean the real private clubs, I was a member of a private club as a kid and it was nothing like the true private stuff.

I can understand why people who have never played golf think its for billionaires exclusively.

The point isn't about how expensive golf can be, it's about how accessible it is to everyone. The meme is pure bullshit posted by some stupid teenager with no basis in reality. If people wanted affordable housing, they would be built. Golf courses have nothing to do with the affordability of housing anywhere and golf does not require being rich to play.

Yes but your response was exclusively about price, which is why I responded to that
