When you start having clubs shipped to work because the wife complains, and then people at work start to notice.

You buy, sell, then re-buy, then re-sell the same club -- just to be sure (I did this with the Nike SUMO2 driver after forgetting how bad it sounded).

You put a wear mark in the carpet from indoor chipping (hasn't happened yet thankfully).

You get one club that you decide is a keeper and then you have to re-arrange at least 2 other bags as a result of the addition.

You're out on your back porch in the dark at 5:30 AM changing the swingweight on your 5 iron  because you've got a tournament in 3 days, and you just had a revelation that MAY add 5 yards to your distance. They say that admitting you've got a problem is the first step in curing it.

You know you're a golf lunatic when you're in the pro shop on a course you've never played before and are admiring a $13,000.00 set of Honma Beres clubs that you just know would improve your scores and are wondering how to get the wife convinced, too....  😉

When you are in the process of buying a new car and the first thing you check is whether your clubs and push cart fit in the trunk.  Otherwise you can go no farther.

Who would do such a thing? :whistle:

That's so true!  Why I ended getting a 4 door pickup.  It hauls a foursome for a long golf weekend in comfort and zero issues with storage space.

My personal faves from an earlier thread.....

You regripped your bbq utensils with cord grips...

Your wife asks you if you want to play around and you go get your clubs out...

What's crazy about that? First thing I look at.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
