On this site multiple hours a day...

When you are at the mall shopping for a pair of jeans, and when the store lady asks what size, you answer "X-stiff".

 

 

When you are at Starbucks and when you order coffee with sugar and creamer, you immediately think of Paula.

 

p.s.

(is it just me, or does her skin look ever so creamy)

[tourblade]

I agree buztech, Paula Creamer is hot.

Hey Paula, good luck tomorrow at the open.

[buztech]

When you watch a re-run of "Three's Company" on TV, and immediately think of Paula and Natalie (and yourself, of course ).

You drive to the golf course in the morning by mistake when you should be going to work :-)

2 days after knee surgery you're working on putting and chipping on one leg.

 

You see a "course closed" sign at your course due to weather, so you walk 18 and just try getting up and down from around the greens.

 

You visited Golfsmith so many times the clubmaker knew exactly how you wanted your clubs regripped

 

You visited there so many times, they offered you a job and you took it part time :/

lol I could see myself in so many replies...

 

Here are some additional ones... (At Work BTW)

 

- When you search for a range slot where a kid was praticing earlier so that you can pick up the misshit balls left 5 feet in front when you run out of balls.

 

- When you analyse the latest video of your swing during working hours so that you know exactly what you need to work on when you leave work and go to the range or play 9

 

- When the first thing you do when getting home after a round of golf / range is checking your swing in the livingroom mirror to see how it looked that day and why it was so effective/not

 

- When you cant remember the last time you went to a bank, shopping or for a haircut over the weekend

[Jbarbour]

When you reschedule a week long business trip to Florida that was supposed to happen this week because you were scheduled to play at the Blue Monster Sunday, Tiburon Gold in Naples Today, Ritz Carlton Member's Club in Sarasota Thursday and King & Bear in St. Augustine on Saturday and as luck would have it, a damn hurricane is following your EXACT same path through Florida...

When your wife is offering access all areas pass on a Saturday morning and all you can think about is making that early tee time.

[InTheHole]

- When you hope your wife falls asleep first so you can switch to The Golf Channel all night.

 

- When you watch the three repeats of Golf Central in the morning hoping there will be something new on.

 

- When your wife says, "If you play golf this weekend, I'm leaving you." I'm gonna miss that girl. (Actually happened to my wife's cousin- she divorced her husband. I used to think he was a putz because this girl is beautiful. Then I took up golf. Changed my mind.)

 

- When you buy a $2000 laptop so you can display the Live Leaderboard at work during tournaments and track how your fantasy golf team is performing.

 

- GolfWRX during the day on that same computer.

- You plan ALL your vacations around playing golf at the resort.

 

- You purchase a new vehicle only if it can hold all the clubs- even giving up 6 MPG.

 

- You don't care that one of your golf buddies calls you "Inspector Gadget" because you have every (necessary) golf gadget attached to your bag.

 

- You save those 4 golf balls that were in your dad's golf bag - he passed away- these are sentimental.

 

- You're grooming your kid for a golf scholarship. He's 10.

 

- When you're father-in-law warned you- "Take up cocaine- it is cheaper and less addicting." - and you now admit that he was right.
