Playing golf? Is it possible?

Korea is a small country with many people. Because of limited land and lots of people, buying a house or an apartment costs a great deal. Like buying a house, playing golf in Korea is costly. Korea has many mountains, so it is hard to find place to build golf courses. Many people want to play golf, but there are small number of courses in Korea. It means rising price that the demand exceeds the supply. If I play 18 holes in Korea, it cost me approximately 250 dollars. Frankly speaking, I never griped a golf club in Korea and played golf in Korea because I am not affordable to play golf. Only rich people could play golf and go golfing stands for being wealthy in Korea even though golf is getting popular. In contrast, playing golf is an affordable sport in United States. It costs around 20 bucks to play 18 holes. Sometimes, I go golfing even though my ball is nowhere to be seen all the time. I am pleased to have an opportunity to play golf. Generally, grocery price is almost same or cheaper than Korea. However, the cost of eating out and of getting service like haircuts are relatively higher than Korea. Most prominent difference between United States and Korea is in tagged price. In Korea, tax is included in tagged price. What I see in the price tag is what I should pay. I don't need to give tips to servers, hairdressers, or taxi drivers in Korea. Until now, I am not accustomed to giving tips in United States. Maybe learning cultural differeces like mentioned above is the reason why I am here.
