HOW DID/DO YOU KNOW YOUR ADDICTED TO GOLF???

• When you start judging distance by what club to use (My local pub is a full driver away 290-300 yards)
• Have more than one golf course/club/shop in your phonebook,
• Golf clubs are constantly in the boot of car in the hope of passing a driving range or a quick nine hole course,
• Find golf clubs attractive
• Make funny noises when looking at pics of new gear
• Have golf forum on all my computers favourites

This is the stage im at.
 
When my new 2008 Golf Monthly Calender (freebie in this months mag)lies under the soon to be redundant 2007 calendar.

When the garage no longer contains a car, but clubs, bags, trolleys, shoes and other golfing equipment.

When you check out the golf gear on Ebay before anything else.

You get depressed when it's cold wet and windy and you have a day off work.

You sit and watch The Golf Channel watching some boring Yank prattle on about the intriquicies of the golf swing even when there's a half decent footie match on another channel.

You agree to a holiday destination with the wife so long as there's a golf course nearby.

You ensure when you do go to said holiday destination that your clubs are the first thing you check in at the airport.

No matter where you are, be it the lounge, the office, you often practise your swing (without a club)
 
When you call into the local golf shops w hen passing, just to have a look.
You learn the characteristic differences between 24ah and 28ah batteries for the trolley!
Clubs are always in the boot too.
Every time you see a "200 yards to ....." roadsign and saying to yourself, pffft thats never 200 yards, I could hit that with a 6 iron.
Wearing baseball hat or wooley hat, Id never normally wear them, same as lairy tshirts too.
Watching the weather knowing a windy day is good for the course when everyone else is cursing it.
 
Clubs are permanently in the boot of the car, anything else that threatens their space is jettisoned indescriminately.

Wearing a titleist cap all the time.

Going to the range 5 times a week plus playing.

Spending loads of time on here.

Dreaming about golf virtually every night.

These are the things that make me know I have an addiction,
 
Like everyone else clubs never leave the car just in case you can sneak away for a game.
When you spend forever on the internet looking for golf gear.
 
It's that feeling you get when you have flushed a 4 iron from the fairway and watched it go directly towards the flag, watching it drop short and run on just as you wanted it to. Thats what makes us come back again and again. That one perfect shot whcih comes along all to infrequently. Okay, the next thre or four mishit/pushed shots don't really matter, you've managed a pure strike and you will remember the feeling!
 
When im more bothered about winning the ryder cup than england winning the world cup in football>
when i think Augusta(In April) is the best looking place on the planet

This is the big one.
Making my girlfriend eat chips everynight because i havent got enough money to buy a decent dinner and range balls!
 
When you work out how much you've spent - and don't care.
When you happily put bags of garden rubbish in the back seat because the clubs are in the boot.
When you judge every car by its ability to fit clubs and trolley in the boot.
When you calculate how dark it is by whether you could see your drive on the 18th.
 
When you look like a hobo off the course but look like Poulter on the course & around the 19th.

When you analize each hole you played the previous weekend at work.

When you wife is speaking to you and you both know the only thing you are thinking is golf.
