The golf isn't that expensive, it's cheaper than a gym membership and a lot more fun for me. Plus it's always a great excuse to go for a few beers. I've never tried to brew my own but we do have lots of micro breweries in the area so there is always a great selection to be had. like you say, it all comes down to the company you keep.

i would like to buy that bar though. My friend and i have talked about it many times while at other bars.
