jjcabgou:
anybody in the cavite/laguna area play golf? I am just starting to take up the sport and...
I suck, but I am determined. If anybody wants to get together for some golf let me know.
Cheers

Don't play any more but can instruct. Was a 2 handicap way back in the day.

I would but I unloaded my golf clubs when I left the states. They were just a cheap set as it was since back in the early 90s, I decided to give it a shot. I worked on base and use to go by the golf course all the time for almost the prior 20 years and I would go to the snack bar at lunch time or after work a lot. I failed miserably at it though and was not able to maintain an interest in it after trying for about 4 years. Actually, I am glad I did not continue on. I am not going to live a poor man's life here but I sure am not going to pluck down pesos for golf. So, sorry, I am out of the question.

I'm in the Iloilo area and occasionally play here, and just moved last year. I have been bitten with the Golf bug about 3 years ago, unfortunately golf is a little more expensive here than in the states. First thing I brought with me are my clubs.
Empire Golf here in the PI is pretty well stocked and its the proshop in most courses here. The only thing when it comes to apparel. They may have not sizes for us big people..
Green fees are expensive unless you have a membership to a club. I'm saving up and planning to join the Iloilo Golf and Country club hopefully in the next two months.
For foreigners its 110,000 pesos and for natives 75,000, the good thing is your Asawa can join and play under her membership. I have been informed that also there is reciprocity in privileges with country clubs throughout PI. For example, once I join I can play the courses in Bacolod.
One thing here in Iloilo CC and I'm pretty sure everywhere else is that you usually have to have a caddie with you (450 pesos), with or without a cart. and you may request an umbrella girl (150 pesos) as well.
BudM:
Even if I was playing, I sure am not going to hire an umbrella girl. Would get busted for sexism. Oh, wait a minute. Should not be any worry here. That would be in the states and some of those EU countries.
