Golf takes gear, course access, and above all large amounts of free time. It's certainly not something almost anybody can afford to do. Access and the time to commit are things those with higher economic status often take for granted when considering whether everyone can afford some activity. These factors likely come into play for saunas too - they're not a staple for any given city gym, for sure, which means you need access to a more well-outfitted gym, or to have a sauna in your own home. And then, again, free time beyond the essentials of fitness and daily life.

Yes, that is exactly my point. Anybody could golf, but it isn't practical for people who don't have a good amount of expendable income, so they don't do it. Same thing with saunas.

What do you think the costs associated with saunas are, beyond a towel and sometimes a swimsuit?
