You know you are addicted to golf when......

[skinny99]

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.

Wake up earlier and do both! Very similar sports in that you can never play either to much! :) Todd

[backinthegame]

when you see a fluffy hairdo and think "I could get a good lie off of that"

[Eleventeen]

-When you talk in your sleep, reminding your wife to take the kids to daycare because you have an early tee time.....2 days too early

 

-You buy a spare kids golf set, just in case she breaks the first one

 

-When you enter through the front door you are greeted by a cart bag

 

-You buy colored golf balls to practice chipping so your kid thinks it's fun to retrieve them

 

-Your 2 year old can recognize who Tiger is from 1997 to the present

 

-You've ho'ed your bag so many times, you start on your wife's golf bag

 

-You buy something off the Specials list at the golf store every week to convince yourself you're still saving money

 

-You even treat your 'bad' customers to a round

...You turn on The Golf Channel EARLY in the morning on the weekends to watch European Tour Golf.

[philfan316]

When you and your wife decide to get something extra to use in bed, and she pulls out some oil and you pull out one of those superstroke grips.

[buztech]

... when your wife is asking for a rubber toy and you ask her "honey, do you want Tour Velvet with Ribbed, and is Undersize ok for today?"

[Mward2002]

Pffth, ask your wife if she wants, soft? Medium or firm? Does she need control? Or comfort? Or does she want a blend of both?

 

It's all about style. it's all about performance. It's all about results.

 

You know you're addicted to golf when after that entire statement, you think of Wynn grips.

 

 

And for the guy whose golf trip got ruined by Tropical Storm Fay:

1. You got screwed, it turned into mostly a breeze.

2. How do you know Fay wasn't just a single looking to meet up and play with? Tsk tsk tsk.

[raidernut1234]

when your 9 year old son, says "Hey dad, now that you got the 08 Burner TP can I have one of your 2 07 Burner TP's? I want the 9.5 Tour Issue V2 and I want you to put an Ozik in it for me"

No I am not making one word of that sentence up... wonder where he gets it from? LMAO

[buztech]

when you ask your gilrfriend "I have Stiff or Extra Stiff, which one do you prefer.. and do you want it tipped or untipped?"

[LottaBalata]

When your homepage and the only other 3 websites you visit in a day are golf forums. When you wake up and there's yet another infomercial on TGC. When you open your closet and golf shirts have taken dominion over your work clothes.

[blaird]

....you have a tanline from tape on your finger

....all your sickdays are used on golf tournaments (and they are all fridays)

....you and the cart boys are best friends

[jjj912]

You own a thousand dollar set of super game improvement irons, but after reading a blades versus cavity back debate thread you buy a set of blades so you can conduct your own experiments to determine who's right and who's wrong.

[glcoach]

........when asked to give your driver license id# and you freeze...... and the only number that pops in your head is your GHIN #

[Albatros]

When you know the torque rating on every shaft in your bag.

 

When you believe that the same torque rating is actually helping you hit the ball better with your hack swing!

 

When the carpet in your house is starting to get a frayed spot from practice swings. (the wifey don't like this one!)

 

When you try to hide said frayed spot by swing in the opposite direction in hopes to make the lines in the carpet straight again.

[Albatros]

When you and your wife decide to get something extra to use in bed, and she pulls out some oil and you pull out one of those superstroke grips.

 

 

Nice.

 

 

Or when you reach over into the "naughty drawer" and right next to it is an impact bag, a heavy club, and a plane device.

 

 

Or when you plane mirror doubles as a bedroom device!

[Mongo26]

you have an indentation on your right pinky fingure when your ring finger and pinkey come together because you use a interlocking grip

[scoot]

...you fall asleep going through shot by shot of your next round of golf.

 

 

Glad I'm not the only one.

[buztech]

when your wifey told you "honey, you only hit 2 out of 9 fairways tonight" and said there may be something wrong with the shaft flex.

[shGGman]

This thread is totally awesome. :)

 

...you fall asleep going through shot by shot of your next round of golf.

 

 

Glad I'm not the only one.

 

 

+2. I do it all the times... Good thing I slice less in real life than what I imagine before I sleep.

[Smooth spin scott]

When your on your way to an important meeting with a client...you get a call that your boys need a fourth, you call the customer to re-schedule and he says "where you playing today?"!

[Tuco]

After reading the Golf Digest article on "Best Jobs to Play More Golf"......you design a scheme whereby you quit your job, your wife quits hers....and you both start your own business near your home course, so you can practice in the afternoons after (during) work and play every Friday.

 

My feet are white as an Alaskan Winter

I know all of my golfing partner's clubs and specs

I know the names of most of the tour player's wives and some of their kids

Every local golf shop knows me my name

I can work golf into almost every conversation

I keep my stats on a spreadsheet that I've designed for that purpose

I keep a list of all the course I've played my entire life

I love the smell of new golf balls and golf gloves

My wife, who isn't a golfer, cracked up at Mike Weir's playoff beard....a consequence of having the Golf Channel on 24/7

Any time after injuring myself....my first thought is if/how long this will keep me from practicing

inter alia.....

[finnk]

Actually quitting your job to start a company specializing in golf software - now field testing is a good excuse to get to play more golf.

Cheering like crazy when Tiger played Conan on late night tv the other night.

Even though my wife does not golf - she knows who a lot of golfers are and she cheered along with me against Conan.

My 3 year olds favorite celeb: Tiger Woods, favorite Wii game: golf; and he has 2 sets of clubs already :rolleyes: One plastic for indoors, and one "real" set for when we go to the range. His favorite store, Golfsmith because they have a putting green.

[jprox]

...you swing your co-worker's cane when he is not looking...

[coozapalooza]

...you spend 3 hours a night watching the golf channel, while surfing this site and anything golf related it leads you to.

 

This is a story of all my nights.

 

Get home around midnight from hanging out with my friends or parties, then turn on the Golf Channel and open up my browser and start hitting GolfWRX.

 

I have also told my boss that my aunt who was in the hospital took a turn for the worse and I had to see her. Which I technically did, but that was the day before I had to work the busiest day of the year. I was actually catching 18 with my friend at a very nice country club he happens to work at.

[TimothyWitt]

...When you don't eat lunch that day because you know that 7-10 bucks can get you a round of 9 holes walking.

 

 

I also have a bad habit of looking at things in "rounds of golf". For example "I really like this computer babe, but do you know how many rounds of golf I could have gotten with how much we paid?"

 

 

Most times it turns out with me sleeping on the sofa, oh well, I will cuddle with my driver.

[coozapalooza]

My dad and I also very frequently go to Golf Galaxy or GS to walk around, look at clubs, with no real purpose. I never really bring any money in either, I just want to look.

[buztech]

whenever someone asks you at Starbucks "do you want creamer with that?" you think of Paula, and whenever you get a "Big Gulps" soda at local 7-Eleven you think of Natalie (yes, oh so creamy and big :-))

[LionontheProwl]

My dad and I also very frequently go to Golf Galaxy or GS to walk around, look at clubs, with no real purpose. I never really bring any money in either, I just want to look.

 

 

When your on this site at 1 AM and can beat the manager of your club by 20 shots. (16.9 handicapp)

[One_Putt_Blunder]

You watch so much golf and demo so many different drivers you can identify drivers by sound.
