...your golf bag retails out for more than you paid for your first car

So what is wrong with the above?

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

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

And then you pull out your laser and check the actual distance to confirm the easy 6!

I've lasered my street and know that from my front yard it's a full 3-wood to the front edge of the soccer field at the end of the block. I promised my wife it's just a theoretical exercise.

And yes, I go to sleep thinking about how I'd play my favourite holes (who doesn't love double entendres?).

All this while it's getting dark and I have a 40 mile motorcycle ride back home with clubs!!  (I live in thailand and you don't want to be doing that journey in the dark on a 125cc scooter) This is not a one off. It's everytime!! So I arrive home, get an earful from the missus and end up sleeping down stairs!! Now that doesn't bother me because I have a mat and a net so i'm hitting balls into that all night.. HAPPY DAYS!!

I'm pretty sure we don't want to know what you were holding with your putting grip in your sleep!

You are caught practicing your swing in the lift at work when the doors open and you were so engrossed that you didn't notice!

You know you are addicted when you make everyone in your house wear white caddy jumpsuits during Master's week, you call the bedroom the Butler cabin, you pick the champion's dinner and everyone has to call you Hootie as you parade around in your JC Penney green jacket.

You spend more time on your swing reader app on your phone than your teenager spends on Facebook.

In the middle of a marriage counseling session you ask the therapist if they can refer you to a sports psychologist for your putting.

When your coaster on the coffee table is The Golfing Machine.

When the 'white noise' machine used to help people go to sleep is the sound of a ball rolling into the hole.

When you've made blueprints on whether or not a putting green will fit inside your house.

When you find tees and golf balls scattered in the farthest corners of your house.

...you check your pocket for change for the vending machine, all you find is a tee. (literally JUST happened)

...you head to weather.com to find a day and time that has little to no wind....then book a tee time.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
