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

[rgs]

This reminds me of a comment heard on radio during a discussion on drug addiction------

"I take coke all the time but i'm not addcited"

so to parphrase I play golf weekly, log on to this forum daily, discuss golf regularly but am not addicted.

When you sit at work "designing" golf courses.

When you dream about playing with Nicklaus and Hogan and outdriving both of them.

I played twice on honeymoon, and managed to drag new lovely wife round three golf shops that we happened to stumble across, despite being in Hawaii where it was 85 degrees outside and the swimming pool would have been a better option!

Is this addicted, I'm not so sure!

When you play golf for 9 days straight and almost 200 holes

When you go to a range with no lights at ten at night, just to hit some balls.

When you wake up in the mornin and put on a polo shirt, v-neck and creme slacks - then realise you've got school.

When the first thing you do in the morning is look outside, is it golfin weather?

When you know its going t rain but you go out anyway.

When you get your dad to cut a gate in the fence, so you can nip out onto the sixth for a bit of practice when the course is quiet.

All of these things Ive done. I think I'm pretty addicted.

When you find yourself precticing your swing in the cubicle at work.

 

[nomadpaul]

When you drop something and immediately shout 'Fore !!!'

When your wife and kids remark that it's a lovely afternoon and maybe you should all go for a drive and you grab your clubs spontaneously

When the phrase " Are you getting your 5-a-day ? " has nothing to do with fruit and veg and more to do with playing the front 9 .

When you resurect a long dead post on a golf forum.

Dreaming about golf virtually every night.

I could try a witty reposte, but I won't. My (only) golf dream is more of a nightmare. I'm called for the 1st at Augusta and am still in my Levis....no trousers in sight....

 

[John_Findlay]

When you willingly get up before dawn for an early tee-time but won't go to your work before 9am.

When you play in weather that would make Scott & Amundsson think twice but you won't go out for a paper in warm drizzle.

 

[Smiffy]

When you can remember every shot of last weeks medal.... but not your wedding anniversary.

Guilty as charged

everybody he's back. It's ok guys he's one of us now. Smarty party.

I thought I was the only one who carried my clubs everywhere haha.

Wen your only lie in is quickly forgotton to rise at 0530 and check the weather.

Almost cry wen it's raining and sulk wen your back in bed PRAYING gods just watering the plants and the sun will be out very soon

When you find your self picking clubs out of the back in the bedroom just to check your grip

When you decide the clubs must be in the bedroom so you can look at them when ever you want.

When you spend more on fee's in a month than on your car.

When your the last one at the range every night

When you chip onto the couch with a LW in the front room

When you offer to cut the old mans lawn just so you can chip and putt when it's finished

When you start to swing anything that slighly resembles a golf club where ever you are.

When you sit and read Gm front to back to front in a day. At work

When you can't sleep the night before playing a new course.

I could go on

 

[Smiffy]

When you take practice swings everywhere...including the bathroom of the new house you have just moved into, accidently knocking a large bottle off of the shelf above the sink which then crashes down and puts a big hole in aforementioned sink earning lots of loving looks and positive comments from your wife.

Guilty as charged

 

[Parmo]

When you entire wardrobe is made up of chino's, Polo's and wind shirts with an old pair of jeans hanging about.

When you see a piece of grass and think "That would make a great lay for ***** club" no matter where it is

You talk to a non golfing wife knowing that she doesnt care but you carry on regardless.

 

[TonyN]

When the Mrs asks what you love more HER or GOLF and cannor look her in the eye to say HER!

 

[viscount17]

when you would rather put a plastic cover on the back seat to take the garden waste to the dump than take the clubs out of the boot.

when you judge every car by its potential to carry clubs and trolley

 

[viscount17]

see if i get myself a nice car i can leave my clubs there! with my van they will get wrecked if i left them there!

obviously not addicted mvp, otherwise by now you would have clamps and brackets to keep them safe and vertical.

 

[viscount17]

When you sit at work "designing" golf courses.
