thought this might be fun to see others' creative answers... so just state your reason, and try to make it amusing.


... you relate the prices of everything you buy in rounds of golf.

i.e. ''damn, that dinner cost me 3 green fees!"

i actually do this, btw.

I'll admit it...I'm a golfaholic.   I love to play it, practice it, read about it, write about it, think about it, and even fantasize about it.    Perhaps there is a twelve step program (maybe with go

You know you're addicted to golf if... Before you pick up the salt shaker, you mark its position with a dime

Warm up. 1 hr putting, 30 mins chipping and 100 balls on the range. Play 18 holes. When walking of the 18th green I have this feeling in my stomach, yes a craving, so I purchase a ticket for another 9

...you earn for a good set of wheels for your car, you wait 4 months until them arrive, you wait for 4 months keeping them in your room to install them and when that day finally came you sell them to buy a complete new bag.

...when the only reason you mow the back yard is so you can practice chipping from better lies.

...when every pair of shorts you own has a little black mark on the front where the butt of the club routinely hits.

...when your shirts have a worn spot on one shoulder where your chin brushes it. (I'm still not this bad)

...when you log on to a golf forum every day. (guilty)

...you can barely drag yourself out of bed for work or other reasons, but are awake, showered and re-cleaning your clubs at 5:30 am for your 8:00 tee time.

...you find that instead of folding your arms. putting your hands in your pockets or otherwise occupying your hands during conversations, you absentmindedly form your golf grip.

...you can't even walk through a Wal-mart (where you would never purchase any golf equipment) without going to the sporting goods section just to see what golf stuff they have.

Ive known I was addicted since the first time I played a little over a year ago. But when I REALLY REALLY knew I was addicted was about 3 months ago. I hadnt broken 90 yet, and I was having the game of my life. I came into #15 only 9 over! I could play the last four holes 8 over par and break 90. Woohoo! Not so fast... #15=double, #16=triple, #17=double, #18=double for an even 90. I kid you not fellas, I sat down after the round and LITERALLY had to hold tears back! Im 28 friggin years old and Im about to break down crying over a round of golf! Aaaaaand, THATS when I knew I had a golf problem! LOL.

p.s. Ive since broken 90 several times including an 81 the other day! (but dont even get me started on that because I 3 jacked 16 AND 17 coming home for the 81)

I was just about to post this...

you know you're addicted to golf when...

Or your wife divorces you...whoops!!

Or when you are getting intimate with your significant other and you yell "Hole in one!!!"
