If you own a business, you expense everything you can for tax reasons
Correct. But you can’t expense club memberships like the one referenced.
I golf with lots of lawyers at my firm and elsewhere, and I came from the golf industry. I’ve never heard of a law firm paying for a golf membership. It happens at other businesses occasionally, but has been more or less phased out of the American workplace.
I don't think so, in fact partners are expected to pay for a lot of BD stuff from their own pocket bc ostensibly they personally benefit from the success.
At my firm share partners can't even expense lunch with summer associates (so they try to bring an income partner or associate and have them pay/expense).

I have never heard of this. And I thought my firm was cheap.

They don’t. Most lawyers that are big/good golfers just want one for their own sake and pay for it themselves and submit expenses when they bring clients or do other work-related things.
