I agree, they are not equivalent, but the story was that those two activities were supposedly the most expensive personal activities that were practiced in the U.S. I guess with most personal sports (tennis, running, biking,...) there are not that many multiple costs after the original investment. I could see the point that the story was making from my own view. I have one set of clubs, but I still spend money on the green fees every time I play. I seem to keep buying rods, flies, tying supplies.... every year.

I hadn't considered the cost of a golf vacation. When I go on vacation, I usually manage to play a round, but I have never considered it a "golf trip" like I consider a fishing trip as a fishing vacation.

Of course if you consider the cost of a club membership into the equation, it gets really onesided!
