Gypsy,
"Mahalo TomK, I loved your reply and thought it was quite funny. I had no Idea that you knew so much about the game of golf or that you had caddied in the past."
I used to play a lot of golf in my younger days until a back injury stopped me from playing. As for the caddying, I did that from 13 to 16 years old at the Sunningdale Golf Club in the UK, one of the most famous courses in England. I even caddied for some quite famous people including some pro-golfers. They allowed us to play the New Course there for free (after 4 pm on weekdays), so as well as making a little money for myself as a kid, I got to play for free!
As to the cost of things, Tink's post is worth reading. When you compare 'Imiloa to similar attractions on the mainland, it's relatively cheap. They have to pay their staff and overheads but also get contributions from the observatories (both financial and scientific) which help keep the costs down.
