Here comes the stinger: "This is much, much more than their golfing, hunting and fishing partners spend put together"
I always thought that his hobby (photography/vintage cameras) was more expensive than mine. I will have to find another justification LOL

HOGWASH!
My hubby spends less on golfing at the sporting goods store, BUT add in the greens fees and that is a different story. $35 to golf and he goes two times a week in the winter, more in the summer. And their golfing clothes are also purchased a regular stores and I'll bet that isn't added in either. He can't golf in regular clothes, has to be special golf shirts. And special golf shorts. So I repeat.......HOGWASH!
