In Taiwan the winters here are short, so yea it's good to take advantage of its weather. Also golf here is more cheaper than in some other countries in Asia. So before I go back to US I would like to learn everything I can in golf with my personal trainer. When it comes to cost I consider golf clubs something you buy once and use it a lifetime what does get expensive is the courses which ranges anywhere from $80-$500. However, as for now I like to go to the practice range to practice what I learned from my trainer and youtube. Youtube is your friend in golf. :)
