http://thesandtrap.com/t/77399/i-am-calling-you-out-as-a-non-golfer-if thread has more than ran its course.   Everything there is to say about the topic has been covered IMO.   I am opening a sister thread to "non-golfer" thread to cover the other end of spectrum.  If there has been a similar thread, this can be merged or closed but a quick search didn't return one close enough.

I will start:

If you ended up in divorce b/c you neglected your family duties b/c golf got in the way, you are a true golfer.  If you divorced twice because of it, you are beyond hope.

because I think these hats are kind of nifty, but will only admit it on a golf forum

OH.....and because I know of at least 30 different Bloody Mary recipes and have them identified by the golf course that serves them

You have been fired more than once from a decent paying job for a habit that you just can't quit.

I know two people who run sizable businesses who have had to let great golfers go. One right after they won the tournament preceding an industry convention "for the company."

You are a true golfer when your left and right hand haven't been the same color in years.

naw....you might be a non golfer if you wear the glove for the entire round.

Real golfers remove the glove between shots so it doesn't get all sweaty, greasy, and nasty.   HEHE......real golfers wear fresh clean gloves......not those nasty thangs!

Wrong thread sir!!

You are a true golfer if you go out as a single and don't mind being paired up with strangers. Most of my rounds (~80%) are played with strangers. My buddies either don't play golf at all or can only play once every few weeks due to family obligations.

I played a Payne Stewart signature course a couple years ago in Branson got paired up with an older couple mid 70's I guess. First few holes were very slow play then I asked if they wanted to play scramble format they agreed and it made for a fun day.

I do that.

My hands are still different colors.  I think it has something to do with how bad I suck.  I have to play a lot of shots. :-)

LOL. ;-)

To real golfers, hybrid does not mean Prius.   Drive means stepping up to a tee, not grabbing a car key.

Very much so! A friend of mine, who sadly gave up golf, told me he was getting a new hybrid. I was so happy, thinking he'd take it up again, but he has good Adams 3 and 4 metals, so I asked which brand. He told me, and I told him I didn't realize Ford had entered that business. Then I realized...

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
