한국에서 골프를 치는 데 드는 비용: 현실적인 고려 사항

골프는 초기 비용 약 100만원, 월 라운드 비용 120만원, 소유를 과시해야 한다는 사회적 압력 등 비용이 많이 들 수 있습니다.

### 취미로서의 골프에 대한 비용과 사회적 인식
* 💸 골프는 **1회 라운드에 약 30만 원, 초기 장비 세팅에 약 100만 원**이 소요되는 등 비용이 많이 듭니다.
* 📈 골프장의 그린피와 캐디피가 너무 비싸다는 비판을 받고 있지만, **코스 소유주들이 인하를 꺼려 요금을 유지**하고 있습니다.
* 🇯🇵 일본에서는 소비자 수요 감소로 인해 **골프 비용이 훨씬 저렴**해졌습니다.
* 👜 물질주의를 강조하는 사회 분위기와 소유를 과시하는 문화가 **골프 비용이 높은 주요 원인**으로 꼽힙니다.
* 💰 골프를 취미로 하는 것은 **소득이 1억 원 미만인 사람에게는 적합하지 않다**고 하는데, 이 말은 차별적이고 부적절한 표현으로 여겨집니다.
* 🇦🇺 호주에서는 고정 연회비로 **무제한 라운드**를 즐길 수 있는 옵션이 있어 골프 비용이 훨씬 저렴합니다.
* 🔮 2030년까지 많은 20~30대가 골프를 떠날 것으로 예상되는 가운데, **골프에 대한 낡은 이미지와 한국 사회에 만연한 비교 문화**가 그 원인으로 지목되고 있습니다.

SNS golf certification shots are often uploaded, and there is a perception that playing golf itself costs a lot of money. How much does it cost to play golf? In fact, you need a lot of money to play golf. How much do you need to spend to play golf? You probably need around 300,000 won just to go out once. So, even if you play once a week, it would be 1.2 million won in just four weeks. You can spend 1.2 million won for your hobby. Honestly, it's not easy from my perspective. It's a very difficult thing. So, I think I need to talk realistically. First of all, buying a full set is not recommended. If you can't hit the ball now, people will say, You should change your club. They talk like this. It's mostly because of the equipment. When you buy a set like that, most people change it after a few months anyway.

I'm going to change it, right? So, because it costs more, it's not recommended to change the product just because it's not good. So, how much does it cost to roughly set up this club in the beginning? When I look at it, I think it's better to go for used clubs. If you buy a used iron set, even if it's a model that's been used once or twice, the performance is still good. If you end up buying that kind of set, it would cost around 1 million won, right? The driver would be around 300,000 won, and a putter around 200,000 won. You should buy at least two wedges, which would cost around 200,000 won to 300,000 won. And for the bag, it would be at least 200,000 won, right? Golf shoes would be another 200,000 won. If you go for mid-range products, it would be around 200,000 won for each, so around 200,000 won to 400,000 won for both. A hat would be around 80,000 won. So, in total, it would be around 1 million won.

When you want to play golf, you need to prepare all the equipment and clothes. If you go out for a round about once or twice a month, it costs around 120, so you need to take lessons. How much for lessons? If you take lessons monthly, it's 400,000 won. For example, 400,000 won. So, how much does it cost in the first month? You need about 410,000 won. You need at least 410,000 won to start golfing. That's the conclusion. But why is golf so expensive? What are you doing? First of all, there are many clubs. Usually, people carry 14 clubs, so there are many clubs. And then, in the case of a soccer field, you just play on a field that is square-shaped. But a golf course is much larger and requires a lot of maintenance costs. So, I can understand why golf is quite expensive to some extent. It costs a lot to maintain. But now, excluding the initial fixed costs, for example.

I go for a round of golf about four times a month, and it costs around 1.2 million won. But these days, there are a lot of discussions like, Why is the caddy fee so high? Why did the green fee go up during the pandemic, and why isn't it going down even though the pandemic is over? What do you think about these kinds of discussions, sir? There are talks that these costs are overrated. I think the costs are a bit too high. In my opinion, they should be lowered a bit for better popularization. But why aren't they going down? Why aren't they going down? Currently, you have another profession. If you were asked to lower the fees, would you want to lower them, even if you don't know how much you are currently receiving? It wouldn't be possible, right? No, it wouldn't be possible. Then, golf courses are the same.

Won't it be burdensome? I'm just receiving this much, so if you ask me to reduce that, you probably wouldn't want to reduce it. Obviously, when I look at it, you shouldn't just blame the golf course. Ultimately, consumers are the ones in a market economy, in capitalism, so we leave it to the market. It's okay if consumers come less. In Japan, it became much cheaper. Why is that? Because ultimately, if consumers come less, they don't pay as much. Consumers don't come for that amount. For example, if you charge 200,000 won and only charge 300,000 won for green fees, consumers won't come. Then, what should we do? We should lower it. We should lower it. For example, if consumers come and say it's expensive, it's meaningless. Even if you pay a lot of money in the suburbs, it's meaningless to say it's expensive while paying. It's meaningless to spend a lot of money on a vanity pyramid, which is now used a lot by people in their 20s and 30s.

Furniture, then home interior, and then taking out a lot of loans to buy a house, cars, watches, and golf, in the top tier. First of all, when I was in Korea, I didn't play golf at all and didn't even think about it. Because I didn't have much income, I think I earned a little over a million won as an academy instructor. That was about 24 years ago, or even earlier, about 25 or 26 years ago. But I didn't even consider playing golf. I thought golf was too expensive, and I just thought my budget should change, my abilities should change. When I went to Australia, I started playing golf, and now, compared to back then, as golf has become more popular, and there are many people playing, I think I should play too. And my friend said it's a show-off, but when I look at this, normally.

The person who is showing off right now is focusing on that, right? Why do they show off so much? It's not good to show off like that. I think the person who shows off could be a victim. Because society encourages that atmosphere. When they show off, they receive attention. For example, posting pictures of a body profile, dining in fine restaurants, and uploading them like this. Then people see that and think there are people who give attention to it. Similarly, luxury goods are the same. If you bring a bag after seeing luxury goods, people don't even know what it is, they just think it's a shopping bag, and they don't even care. Then who would spend a huge amount of money on that? They paid tens of millions of won for it, but what is this? Where did they buy it? If you do this, there is no need to buy it, right? That's right, so that's how it is.

When it comes to things like bags, where people don't really attach much meaning to them, if that kind of atmosphere is created, it's the same even if the bag is a natural brand. So, first of all, people need to change their perception of others' gazes, and that kind of atmosphere needs to be resolved. Rather than saying it's a problem of people showing off, I think we need to change the overall societal atmosphere or individuals' consciousness. If there's no one who acknowledges showing off, why would anyone show off? That makes sense. It seems like there needs to be a significant change in perception. They say it's materialism. People focus too much on money or what they possess, which leads to an atmosphere of showing off. In a way, it can be seen as a naive idea that has never been considered before. If people receive recognition for showing off, then they will continue to do so.

I want to be recognized, but if the atmosphere doesn't allow for showing off, I will probably disappear a lot. And I shouldn't be swayed by that. It doesn't matter what others have. So, I should become someone who doesn't react much. I shouldn't boast about myself. I should become someone who doesn't show off what I have or brag about things like that. Those thoughts of wanting to show off with things I have, that's not me. It's not about showing off my inner self, like saying, I did this much volunteer work here, so it was meaningful. It's not about bragging about how much I've developed internally or how much I've thought. It's about realizing the meaning of life, growing in that way, and boasting about those aspects, not about boasting about what I currently have.

I think we need to consider that it focuses a lot on material things, such as having certain items. And why many people have issues with self-esteem. In fact, when you live a life that helps others, your self-esteem goes up a lot because you feel that you have value. So, when you feel that you, as a person, are having a positive impact on society, your self-esteem can rise significantly. However, instead of boasting about what items I have, when I see people admire them, my self-esteem will increase. I think this is a bit close to fantasy. By thinking a bit more and considering the impact I have on society, I think about what actions would be good. There are many discussions like this. If you earn less than 100 million won, you shouldn't play golf.

So, for example, there's a saying that if you can't earn at least around 6.5 million won, you shouldn't have golf as a hobby. Do you think it's true that you shouldn't have golf as a hobby if you earn less than 100 million won? However, saying since your income is not that high now, don't play golf may sound a bit discriminatory, so I don't think it's appropriate to say that. Just for example, you can purchase golf clubs at a very low price somewhere and enjoy playing screen golf, so you can enjoy golf as much as you want. Saying since your income is not that high now, don't play golf seems a bit off. However, it may be possible to express concerns when thinking about it. If you earn this much and play golf, you won't be able to save, and if you have a family, it could cause some financial problems in the household. So, it might be possible to express concerns.

I think you can understand the goodness. If you play golf with this income level, it seems like it might exceed the budget a bit. I think you can say things like that. Then, let's think about the cost of playing golf in Australia and Korea. How much difference is there in the cost of one round of golf? Before, when we calculated, if you go four times a month, it's 1.2 million won now, right? If you think about it like that, in the case of Australia, now, playing unlimited for a year at 1.5 million won, which is about 120 million won. You can also play unlimited for 120 million won. It's like a membership here. It's a place where you can just play for a year. It's not a concept of deposit. Just like going to our gym for a year, I pay 1.5 million won to play unlimited golf for a year. So, for a year, I can play unlimited rounds without paying extra. You can play unlimited 18-hole rounds, for example, 18-hole rounds.

Yes, it's possible. Of course, when there is a competition, there are days when the morning is not available, like Saturdays. For example, if I participate in a competition, I would pay around 10,000 to 20,000 won. If I win the competition, I would receive prizes for fun. There are such things, but I don't have to pay separately for the venue when I do rounds alone or with friends. If I were an elementary school student, I could pay 200,000 won. For middle and high school students, it could be around 500,000 won per year. They even offer discounts for those in their early twenties because they understand that early twenty-year-olds may not earn much money yet. So, in your early twenties, you could pay just 700,000 won for a year. After the end of Corona, in the media.

One of the highly publicized topics is that many are saying that by 2030, golf is leaving. Since you are on-site, what do you think about it? Do you actually feel like many people in their 2030s are leaving golf? Oh, it feels like they are leaving. Many young people with disabilities are not coming to golf courses, and especially now, young people are buying a lot of clothes. So, those working in the clothing industry are experiencing a significant decrease in sales. Oh, for those working in the golf medical field, yes. Overall, it seems like many young people are leaving. In my opinion, the image of golf is becoming outdated because there are so many cultures that need to be compared. How do you feel about this situation? It's regrettable. In fact, I might also leave such a culture of comparison.

I'm a person who compares too, and I can't be free because I'm human. Humans have egos, so they can't help but be aware that someone is watching them. So, we need to reduce that and do less of it. However, it's a pity that Korean society is so deeply immersed in a culture of comparison. It's necessary to become wiser. In fact, it's meaningless to exaggerate on social media, trying to impress others who could be acquaintances. People viewing me as more impressive in that way is meaningless. In reality, it all disappears after a short time. It's just a facade. If I had invested the time or money I spent on that into something more meaningful, for my development or into something much more meaningful, and utilized that time and money, in fact, 20 or 30 years later.

My life will completely change, right? Then, in 20 or 30 years, no one will compensate for the time and money I wasted to show off. People will acknowledge those who invested in themselves by saving that money and time instead of showing off. Because they have achieved something, gained financial stability, people will come to them and give recognition even if they stay still in 20 or 30 years. But if I waste that on meaningless show-offs, the sacrifice will be huge. My life is the same. Just having a job to show off to others is quite sad when you think about it. Completely ignoring what others think and then thinking about what I will do next.

I think that if I look at it, I might see a little more of what I need to do for my future.

골프는 장비와 의류를 포함하여 한 번의 외출에 30만~40만 원의 비용이 들 정도로 비용이 많이 들 수 있습니다.

처음 클럽을 구입하는 데는 100만원 정도가 소요되며, 매달 레슨을 받으려면 40만원 정도가 추가로 필요합니다.

이처럼 골프 비용이 전반적으로 높은 이유는 각종 고가의 장비와 의류, 월 레슨비, 골프장 유지비 등이 필요하기 때문입니다.

한국의 골프는 높은 캐디피와 그린피로 인해 많은 논란의 대상이 되고 있습니다.

접근성을 높이기 위해 비용을 낮춰야 한다는 요구에도 불구하고, 골프장의 재정적 고려와 시장 경제의 원칙으로 인해 현재의 가격 책정은 쉽게 바뀌지 않을 것으로 보입니다.

발표자의 개인적인 경험은 골프가 비싼 스포츠라는 인식이 시간이 지남에 따라 어떻게 변화해 왔는지를 잘 보여줍니다.

사회에서 과시하는 것이 미치는 영향

과시욕은 물질만능주의 사회에서 관심과 인정을 받고자 하는 욕구에서 비롯되는 경우가 많습니다.

명품과 사치스러운 경험에 초점을 맞추다 보니 인정받기 위해 과시해야 할 필요성이 지속되고 있습니다.

사회적 분위기와 개인의 인식을 변화시키는 것은 과시에 대한 압박을 줄이고 개인의 성장과 의미 있는 성과로 초점을 전환하는 데 매우 중요합니다.

자존감이 사회 공헌과 골프 비용에 미치는 영향

물질적 소유에 집중하면 자존감에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 반면, 사회에 기여하면 자존감이 높아질 수 있습니다.

소득이 낮은 사람은 골프를 치면 안 된다는 생각은 차별적인 것으로 비춰질 수 있지만 금전적인 우려를 표명하는 것은 타당합니다.

한국의 골프 비용은 호주보다 훨씬 저렴하며, 1년 동안 무제한으로 플레이할 수 있는 멤버십 옵션도 있습니다.

골프가 젊은이들과 사회에 미치는 영향

골프 대회 참가비는 10,000원에서 20,000원까지 다양하며, 우승자에게는 상품이 주어질 수 있습니다.

어린 학생과 20대 초반의 경우 연간 골프 대회 참가비 할인 혜택을 받을 수 있습니다.

골프 산업은 문화와 우선순위의 변화로 인해 젊은 층의 참여가 감소하고 있으며, 이에 대한 아쉬움과 한국 사회의 비교 문화를 줄여야 한다는 필요성이 대두되고 있습니다.

미래의 성공을 위한 자기 투자의 영향

과시하기 위해 시간과 돈을 투자하는 것은 미래에 보상받지 못하는 반면, 자기 투자는 재정적 안정과 인정으로 이어집니다.

단순히 과시하기 위해 직업을 갖는 것은 만족스럽지 않으며, 다른 사람의 의견을 무시하는 것은 미래의 목표를 명확하게 할 수 있습니다.
