Are you obsessed with golf?

[KhalJimbo]

Hi, I'm Jim, and I'm addicted to Golf.

I tend to find sports, throw my entire everything into them and then after a year or so I get bored and move on.

It started with Kiteboarding, was obsessed I spent loads, sold everything a few years later at a HUGE loss and moved onto the next thing, Fly Fishing (although I still do this regularly I'm not as obsessed anymore).

Then I got into mountain biking, spent £1000's on it, sold most of it at a loss.

Now Golf has my fancy, for some reason though, I don't know what it is, but I just enjoy it so much more than anything else. I think the main thing I like is, you can actually see improvements in black and white on a piece of paper. I always like getting good at thing but for some reason at Golf I just find the challenge of Golf so much more enjoyable than any other sports.

Got a 9 hole tomorrow morning, and a 18 hole on Monday. Some range time on Sunday too.

My and is Adrian and I a golf Junkie.

I always need my fix and will go to great lengths to do it. When I run out of YouTube Videos of Pete Finch and Rick Shiels, I've been known to go to my lowest point and watch Mark Crossfield.

I sit looking at all the latest gear from manufacturers websites, I look on EBay just to get a glimpse of something I haven't seen before. I watch TV with IPad in hand playing WGT, as I need that little something to get through the day.

As as a kid during the summer holidays, my mum would drop me off on her way to work. I would get 18 in first thing before the senior go out. I would find another game early afternoon, then my dad would meet me there at about 5:00pm to pick me up, but not before we slipped another cheeky 18 in.

A new new box of Pro V1 or food, I have enough fat store to get through the day, but I can't live without my shiny new balls .

When I buy a car I take my golf clubs with me to make sure they will fit in the boot, then I look to see if there is room for the kids in the back seat.

For 24 years I have been addicted, many arguments with my first wife happened over golf. The only way I will truly get the fix I need is to give up work, do the US PGA apprentaship and become a head Pro somewhere.

I believe I am.
Still get up to the club twice a week at least to practice,arrive as early as 6.15am or
there to 8 with my son after tea.
Spend hours on a golf forum.
Spend ages looking at online websites.
Hours watching Vlogs or instruction videos.
Always wanting my next comp to come round quicker.
Travel miles for a game so yes addicted.

Can I buy your stuff at a loss when you get bored?

From when I get up until when I go to sleep!

ok so im new to golf proper, i played twice a year for the last dozen years or so.. but decided i needed to do something in october last year. I play cricket alot, and love it, i play football i loved it, and cant play as much anymore. Ive played soooooo much golf in the last 6 months any normal person would think i was totally bonkers. My missus definitely thinks im mad. Ive thought about giving up cricket to play more golf, and I was very close. Instead tomorrow im getting up at 6am to play golf before i play cricket. Then im playing in the Sunday morning comp down at the club. Then im practicing monday, then im playing tuesday with a mate. Yes Im addicted. Yes i expect to be divorced by september.....

No, not any more.

40+yrs ago I played every day, sometimes 3 rounds in a day and hours of practice. 30+yrs ago it used to be 5 or 6 rounds a week. 15yrs ago it was 3 or 4 rounds a week. In recent yrs its been 3 or 4 rounds a month.

In recent months, after getting close on 50yrs of frustration I'm thinking its time to give it up. I love a good shot, and a good round but that feeling is gone when I walk off the course. I don't have that urge to talk about the round when I'm back in the bar, although I'm happy to talk about the course. Hopefully the warm weather will rekindle that spark.

I beg to differ

 

[Tiger man]

Yes, play whenever I can and make up a whole host of brilliant excuses for not coming home on time to HID. I know I should not lie but cannot bear the constant moaning for spending too much time at the course as I get that anyway and she only knows of about half the time i am actually there! Besides if she did find out I'm sure she would be pleased I am only unfaithful with my true love. . . Golf!!!
