$10,000? I'm not taking golf lessons.

It is pretty easy to spend 10 grand there if you want much more than
the introduction course. The courses are up to $2000 each and there
are lots of them. If you are not staying at the Super 8 you can also
add $1000-1500 a week to live there plus a plane ticket.

Yeah, I know how much the courses cost. The one I have in mind is
not an
intro course, and is about a fifth of what you quoted, including a ton
of ammo. There are some decent motels near the site for about $75 a
night, so figure another grand for room, board, car rental,
entertainment (ha!).

I get the impression that you have to take the intro course before you
can take the others and they build on each other..

Simple math: it's one of those liberal arts thingies...

No you should have learned simple math in elementary school.

Elementary, intermediate, and secondary schools *are* liberal arts
schools, unless you opt for "vocational" junior high and high school.
After all the times I've told you, you boys still don't understand what
comprises "the liberal arts."

*Math* is one of the liberal arts.

So, after 12 years of a liberal arts education, you needed 4-6 more?

Education should be a lifelong and therefore neverending process.

The level of teaching, learning, debate, and writing in the most serious
upper level post-grad courses disciplines one's brain like almost
nothing found in the non-academic world.
