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 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.

...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.

[Arsenal Forever]

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 :-))

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

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

[WillyPlay]

1. when you find more range tokens in your pockets then quarters.
2. when you watch the sunset as you are at the furthest point away from the clubhouse trying to squeeze in the emergency 9.
3. when you name your dog Divot.
4. when you take your new Vokey wedge to a grinding whell trying to eliminate bounce.
5. when You install astro turf on your new deck and take down part of the existing railing for a hitting area.
6. when you have groove marks in the ceiling of your house because there is to much snow to get outside
7. when you post your swing on youtube for public opinon.
8. when you break up with your girlfriend because she thinks you spend to much time at the course.
9. when you have a bumper sticker that reads " I would rather be driving a Titleist"
10. when you sleep with your putter in hopes of warding off three putts.

[Arsenal Forever]

I don't know if anyone else does this, but it's worth a shot.

Does anyone have the worst day at the course, drive home thinking nothing but "AH F*CK GOLF I HATE THIS I SUCK I HATE THIS GAME I NEVER WANT TO GOLF AGAIN" and then the first thing you do when you get home is either plop on the couch and turn on The Golf Channel or come online to GolfWRX?

That's what I did today.

[CEvanz1988]

When you can actually say I have been to hospital three times in two days with the same injury but ignored the docs advice on two occasions.


1.Went in the rough, decided I could hack this out 50 yards turns out the rough had other Ideas. Sprained my wrist. finished the round.
-Went to hospital with this, told me I sprained it and not to play golf.
2.Went out in the afternoon, tried to rip the S**T out of a 3-wood of the deck. Decided to take half of the UK with me. Finished my round again went to hospital after the misses winging at me for 2 hours that aint normal. This time my wrist had a lump the size of a golf ball if not bigger.
-Went to hospital and app I had sprained it even more same spiel not to play golf blah blah blah.
3. Tee off at 9.45, went in the rough tried to hack it out fractured it this time walked in went to hospital seen the same doctor who at this point was pretty p*****d off I had ignored her on two previous occasions so this time she put it in a cast for 6 weeks. Guess what she was female lol

Also the misses rings the golf club if your let home from work. (really pee's me off) lol

I just woke up from sleeping, where I had a dream I got a brand new set of those new Mizuno MP52's or whatever. I woke up and I didn't have them. I am no very, very pissed off.

AMEN!

How about having the top half of your head bone white except for a little half moon that is tan from the back of a adjustable hat.

any time you are just around town running errands, going to work etc. and see a flag blowing you calculate what type of wind shot you need on a certain hole for your home course.

[8thehardway]

Your bag is set for the season and there's nothing left to get. Frustrated, you buy THIS





regrip it with one of THESE





and your addicted buddies turn green with envy.

[dorfblee]

You know you are addicted to golf when . . . you finally get your irons spec'ed out how you want and then go ahead and win two separate low bids on irons . . . and instead of wondering why you bid on them or which sets you will keep- you are thinking about how to rotate them all in while playing more often!

[Honcho72]

You look foward to frost on the fairways. Every extra yard helps.

The greenskeeper knows when you have been there by your footprints on the greens

On halloween you have chocolate golfballs for the kids.

When you respond to this thread for a second time......

[Ghost_Orchid]

Whenever you finish reading a topic, you hit 'New Posts' and look for new threads to read.

Whenever you read about a weird rule someone inquires about, and the knowledgeable ppl on here give the right answer, you think 'Golf Nerds', and make a mental note of it just in case you're in the same situation.

Gotta know the rules, it helps.

[callawayguy10]

When you get newly married and you take some of the money you recieved for gifts to buy a new driver and putter and when your wife ask where did you get the money you say I saved it up and never tell here where the money came from.
