Who did the research for this, an 8 year old?
You don't consider that many memberships in Japan, China, Hong Kong , Taiwan, Australia, Russia, Malaysia, South Africa, parts of the USA, are ' slightly' more than 11 grand over five years...?
How about 3 clubs in Beijing charging 100k sterling joining fee for starters. In Japan it can cost you about fifty quid to go to the range for an hour.
How on earth can you be allowed to publish such lazy and un-researched rubbish?
We looked at countries such as Japan, Hong Kong etc and it was extremely difficult to contact them to get a figure.
Many other websites ran similar features and their figures were hugely inflated. I only wanted to include clubs that were willing to give me their exact memebrship cost.
Of course, there were always going to be clubs that slipped under the radar or were unwilling to talk to me. We would be happy to hear any clubs you are aware of that should be on the list.
