Hope you didn't give fishing up too, since it consumes a lot more time and money! I have a feeling you didn't.

Here is my average cost breakdown for both:

Golf: Spent about $800 dollars total for all clubs.
Spent $210 on a yearly membership to city courses
Spend $2 for 18 holes walking

Fishing: Spent $10,000 + for bass boat
Spend $200 per trip
Have spent, can't even really count how many thousands and thousand of $ on fishing gear.
Spend $700 a month for my truck to pull my boat
Spend hundreds a month on insurance (boat/truck)
Spent nearly a grand a year on maintenance of boat

Golf is definitely the cheaper of the two hobbies. If I didn't love fishing so much, those figures would have just made me give it up and stick to golf! I guess I'm just a fish-a-holic!
