Golf and sports equipment in Australia?
Sarah asked:
Our family is considering moving to Australia from the US. We are amateur golfers and would like to continue. Could someone from down under give us some tips on golf over there? Where would one buy a nice set of clubs or should we bring our own? In the states, there are many online golf equipment stores one can buy at very good prices. We can buy a nice Taylormade set for USD500. If we want to visit a store to look at clubs, we can go to Sports Authority or Golf Smith or some others. Are there large sporting goods stores in Australia? The kids also like fishing, basketball, tennis, badminton, so the sporting goods store is one of the first places we need to go when we get there. Would appreciate someone knowledgeable to give us some ideas.

Bring your own clubs there pritty pricey over here. And there is heaps of really good sports shops anywhere you look were really into sports over here.
Golf over here is sort of a mixed bag lots of bogans or you would call hillbillys play golf its great fun and not many people take the sport serious they sort of walk around wacking balls and get drunk.
Go to a really good club and you wont get the bogans but it costs a flamen fortune. I had a round of golf and it cost me over $200.
