When you're watching a repeat of the Playing Lessons from the Pros... for the 5th time.
Or when you fall asleep watching TGC, wake up 3 hours later, and the same show is on that you fell asleep to... then you stay up to watch the end.

When you check the Titleist 909 thread on a daily basis for a month and a half, hoping that this is the day that somebody will post some secret spy shots.

Or,

When your wife turns The Golf Channel on to fall asleep and suddenly you are not tired anymore.

when you plan a work road trip so you can
1. Return the Byron putters you borrowed from Hairpie to "check you putting stroke against my Rife 400)
2. check into hotel (at 2:31 am, just finished playing poker), first thing I do is log in to check BST for a 9.5 08 Burner TP with whiteboard.
3. So that I can get up at 8am and watch the US open ALLDAY while I work out of the hotel room and not be bothered by my wife saying "That's not really work!"
4. Did I mention I'll probably goto Mortons golf shop at lunch too?? (Hi Ken).

do I win the prize now.???  g'night

-When you try to play with a broken upper-arm AND a chipped pelvis.
-When your girlfriend asks you: "You want to go to the beach?" Your first thought is: "Great, I can train bunker-shots there!"
-When you take a club to school to practice bunkershots in the long-jump pit during the breaks.
-When you are so keen to play after breaking your arm, that you start to early and break it again while playing.
-When your hands are like sandpaper.
-There is at least one putter in your livingroom
-You destroid at least two lamps, whilst doing practiceswings at home.

- when you answer the Starbucks coffee guy/gal: "I want some Paula Creamer but no sugar on that latte".

- when you use your bath tub to practice the "aquaman" swing and move.

- when your 2 beagles are named "Tiger" and "Phil" and your Yahoo IM nickname is "AScottTwin"

- when you're in a rollercoaster and you scream "Wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" and suddenly you are sad Michelle is not playing that well these days (so she's not on TV that often).

- When you pick up every lost ball that you see for hitting into your net at home and you already have 3  5gallon bucks full
- You can change the topic of any conversation to golf
-You get your 10yr old so addicted to the game that he uses a hocky stick like a belly putter.  He did it for a feild day game at school yesterday.
-The same 10yr old knows the history of the game and all of the best players in history by sight
-Your Daughter that hates golf has learned the lingo

When you are in court and you are less concerned with how much your fines :russian_roulette:  are but rather how soon you can get to a course to tee off.

When other people see you throwing your hips and arms around like you are in a rain dance, thinking you are nuts. When you are just trying to get your swing back on plane.

When you start buying others(who dont play golf) golf trinkets for gifts.

If you have a golf watch

When tin-cup makes it onto your top ten movie list.

When they only thing your 10 month old son wants to play with is the golf balls and the putter you bring in to the house everyday because you use his right foot as the cup and he thinks you're playing fetch,  It's quite nice that he is learning to roll them back to me!!!  Now if only he can stay still

Oh man, I have the perfect spot of land for a nice rolling hill golf coure.  I'd love to design a course.



I know I'm addicted because my homepage is a golf forum website.  And I wake up and go to sleep with The Golf Channel on the flatscreen.  I work 3rd shift, always away on my nights off until 3 or later a.m.  I'll go out and take practice swings at midnight.  I'll chip/pitch in the dark until I hit the fence and wake the neighbors dog, then I run inside like a kid.  I have divots  in my ceiling and marks from where I swing too hard and things get out of hand!  Yeah, I'm addicted.  I also have enough clubs for a foursome.  WOw, things are getting bad  :clapping:

When you're registered to take the June 16th 2008 LSAT, but re-schedule for October 4th at the last minute b/c you don't want to miss the US Open Monday playoff. (yeah, true story)

When you take your exams with a golf pencil.

When you schedule all of your classes for the evenings or online so you can practice golf all day.

When you sneak onto your course during a hurricane so you can hit a 400+ yard drive.

When breaking 90 is a pre-requisite for a future wife.

...the employees at golf galaxy know your name and what time you come in everyday.
...your able to name drivers by the sound they make.
...able to identify the pro by what kind of putter he uses.
...are asleep less time than you are on the golf course.(4 hours caddying and 4 hours playing v.s. 7 hours of sleep)
...you are dating the cart girl from your local golf course.

When your thankful the economy is slow so I can take more time off to Golf.

When you still go to the course where the cart girl is your x-wife.

When you play a quick nine before work and manage to get in another 18 after work. Putting in the dark by braille.

When you park your car outside because your garage is a putting, driving and chipping practice area, and a club repair shop too.

When, during the holidays, you only shop in golf stores and even the non golfers on your list get golf  gifts.
