I've been thinking a bit lately about my membership at Patterson River.
I love the game of golf. I love playing and trying to improve my handicap.
But being a member of a golf club is expensive. I currently pay $300 a month. I feel like I need to go all in on playing multiple times a week to get value out of it.
I feel a pull at the moment to have a bit more balance with my hobbies. I still want to play a bit of golf but I also want to focus a bit more on my physical and mental health.
What I'm thinking right now is cancelling my membership at Patterson River.
My new plan for golf is as follows:
- Pay $91 a month for membership at Golf Studio Mordialloc where I can go hit balls and practise
- Try and play an 18 hole round once a fortnight and just pay green fees: some of my favourite courses I've played recently are Mount Martha Golf Club, Lancefield Golf Club and Beaconhills Golf Club
This opens up some more time for me to:
- Spend time with Emma
- Try some group exercise classes
- Go to dog club with Boots
I think overall this will be a positive step for me moving forward.
