Lol... U know I'm doing that with my next car!
I already told the wife... Every time I take her car I have to place the clubs in the back seat...they don't fit in the trunk of her car...

When you secretly apply for a credit card and get golf gear delivered to work so the wife doesn't find out.

Not telling the wife you've had a pay rise at work and secretly squirrel away the extra cash to buy more golf gear.

Not worrying anymore about your wife looking at your laptop/smartphone because your Internet history is no longer crammed with porn.... Just endless eBay listings starting with the word "titleist".

When buying a bottle of coke the checkout girl says "that'll be one-fifty please" and you immediately reply "8 iron".

Convincing the wife that we should save up and buy a campervan so we can take the dog with us on holiday - while deep down you are plotting these "holidays" around visits to seaside towns so you can play some quality links courses in the uk and Ireland.

When you buy a bladed 1 iron not just because it's the prettiest thing ever, but because you think you convince yourself that you will learn to hit the damn thing

When you can't stop stealing the small pens/pencils from ikea/bookies/argos

When the weather girl states it 56 degrees outside you immediately think of your sand wedge.

You consider purchasing a lathe and milling machine so you can make a custom putter in your garage.

Now that is funny , kind of disturbing but funny!
Guilty of some of those.

You receive a call from your wife while at the range saying your mother-in-law has just been hit by a car.  And you figure that you should at least finsih the bucket of balls before getting to the hospital.  No, but seriously, she was fine.  Walked out the same day.

When all your orders go to your sister's house, using her paypal account so the missus doesn't find out what a ho you are (she has no idea, I could change clubs everyday, as long as I keep the same wood covers, she'll never know), then you sister telling you it has to stop because of all the cash she has to deposit back into her account and the IRS will get suspicious.  So you call your brother...

When you go out of the way after running errands to drive by the local muni to see if maybe you made a mistake not going out in low 30's temp with 40mph gusts.
You get there and find it empty and figured you made the right decision for a few seconds before realizing you could've had the entire course to yourself.

Replicating your stance is probably okay.

Rehearsing your swing at the urinal is definitely not.  DAMHIK.

...when you're driving around town and see a large area of grass, you're heart gets excited, "is that a golf course??"....only to find out it's a cemetary.

No joke, i've done that three times.  I was visiting some relatives of mine and we went to pick up their kid from college to go out to dinner and I actually said to them, "it's such a shame they built a college here.  This could've been a lovely golf course."  They were still confused so I explained my plans for the first 4 holes and last two.  they still thought I was nuts.  Sigh.

I always do this if I like the car.  Once in the middle of working out the finances I told the salesman "wait! I didn't check if my golf clubs fit!   I'll be right back!" I ran home got the clubs and realized they didn't fit.  Needless to say I did not buy the car.  but I squeezed in 9holes afterwards.  I actually keep a pillow and some towels in the trunk.  The clubs rest on the pillow with the towels in between to avoid chatter while driving.

[Schanck11]

When riding in the car you imagine how you would shape your tee shot whenever there is a clearing that somewhat resembles a fairway.

Bravo !  well done.  Been there; done most of these.

BTW, did you ever find out which new three wood Rory is bagging?

[Benzo]

you do 'swings' unconsciously throughout the day
you guess yardages when you're nowhere near a golf course

[awil]

When your debating what travel bag you need next , or you have every golf retailer on speed dial .... Or when you saw your local golf galaxy had a  robo cup for sale ad you used your rebate to give it a try ( works great but I don't prefer it works better on a practice indoor green I would think

[erock9174]

When its 27* out in Feb in OH and you go to the closed range, hit your entire shag bag of balls (approx 60 of them), walk out into the field, pick them up.
Then walk across the street to the course, turn on your new Bushnell Yardage Pro XGP+ and proceed to the first tee.   A truck approaches and the guy says...."Are you F*ck'n nuts?"
to which you reply, "Oh I am not golfing, just checking out my new Christmas present (GPS).  He says "oh...and I saw you hitting balls across the street......to which you reply "oh yeah trying out my new Razr Fit driver"
So as he leaves the parking lot, you tee up 3 balls and hit them.  Then decide it was a bad move as you walk to the balls and its snowing so hard that you have to put your head down.

Yeah that was me 2 weekends ago.

[MizzyBYU24]

You stay up with your girlfriend all night, drink a bunch of red bulls, pull an all nighter, then when you have to skirt out of the house before her parents wake up at 6:30, you think "I should get an early round in!" and then proceed to the course, go out first, then almost tank halfway through the round because the red bulls wore off... aww, my memories from being 17

[yukihiro]

When you look around (off the course) and know how far everything is... in yards.

When your upset about your ex-fiance breaking up with you because of how much time you spent golfing only to realize how much extra money you have in your account (enough to redo the whole golf bag for the season).
When you have a pulled muscle in your back and you still manage to get to the range to hit a bucket of balls.
When you spent the last 4 hours reading every post in this thread, only taking breaks for the bathroom, to get up because your side hurt from laughing so hard, and to hit putts with the new putter. (GC on the whole time)
When your starting a new job and wondering what shift you'll get so you know how much golf you can play.
When you have more than 1 putter in front of you, and you keep thinking the putter from 10 years ago may help you drop an extra 2 putts per round. (Putters include a long putter and belly putter)
When you train the dogs to fetch the golf balls so you can practice chipping when you take them outside.
When you break up with the new girlfriend because she was pissed at you for taking advantage of the Titleist promotion on Pro V1x's instead of taking her out for your 1 year anniversary. (Seriously)

Oh and index is 8.7
