I am not a golfer, but just for perspective. Golfing is considered a macho "business" acclaim aka Nascar & NFL & NBA etc. (They even auto cap). The golfing dad is not as confident ( competent) setting up the new kite. There is also the initial entry barrier. A decent kite costs more than a round of golf and clubs are available to rent. You usually golf with someone, friendly or not. Kiting is a little different. Usually buy to fly unless at an event. And flying is a little more solitary; no whack a ball and jump in the cart and have a beer. On the other hand once you have kite gear, and like the zen, kites have low overhead unless the wind is big or you get agressive. Still probably less than a box of those special go long balls. Wayne, I love your passion!
