haha, nice.

I will have to use this ploy one of these days.

[lumpuckeroo]

I'll go on a golf trip with my buddies, but tell the wife we don't have money for a vacation.

All home repairs must be done by St. Patrick's Day.

Golf clubs have a "spot" in the family room.

Car purchases are based on how many sets of clubs will fit in the trunk.

You only followers golfers on Twitter.

You know what years Jack Nicklaus won the Masters, but not so sure about what year your sibilings were born.

You schedule vacation to watch the Masters.

- You ask your boss at work what type of polo is acceptable in the office to wear with khakis so that you could wear your golf attire to the office in order to save time en route to the course after work
- Your fiancee knew nothing of golf before you started dating, but now regularly texts you on thursdays and fridays while she's at work to tell you who's in the lead, highlights, who hit what club to 4 feet on the umteenth hole, etc...
- You plan where you're going to move to include membership fees at a course relatively close by for ease of access...in your 'rent'

- Your calendar at work isn't filled so much with meetings as it is course maintenance schedules, scramble dates, tournament majors, club championships, and the best holiday week of the year; The Masters

Wandering round the mall one weekend in that half-daze guys go into when being dragged through home furnishing stores. The wife stops to check out an amusing sham or something and I find myself staring blankly into this french-door size decorative mirror. Swear the thought hadn't yet percolated up into my conscious mind, but she says without turning around: "If you start practicing your takeaway, I am going to divorce you."

Are you kidding me? Do you know how long it takes to train them to fully integrate the tee-to-green metaphor into the area of marital relations?

"Come on big boy, smash it! I can tell you're swinging an extra-stiff shaft." etc. etc.

I think it's when each club has it's own name....

I haven't named all of mine, but the ones I have are

Driver - "May" (from the movie "A League of Their Own" - All the way, May!!)

3W - "Gummy" (because it's a 'tree wood' haha, and we have a lot of gum trees in Oz)

2i - "Posh Spice" (look at me, I have a 2 iron)

3i - "Ali" (because he was pretty hard to hit, too)

8i - "Mila Kunis" (coz she's about an 8/10)

9i - "Karrie" (Karrie Web's favourite club)

PW - "Piss Weak" (obvious enough)

52* GW - "Bruce Dickinson" (coz he's the best performing 52 year old in the world)

SW - "Whitey" (name after a friend of the family, Sandra (Sandy) White)

Putter - "Billy" (oh Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy... from Caddyshack!)

Still waiting to name the 4-7 irons, haha!

to funny. I got my gf into golf. she bought some clubs recently and loves it. so, if anything, she won't mind if I start practicing while shopping. until I accidentally hit her or something. lol

I love everything about golf greatly, but it's hard to play at my present, because I still have schooling to get through... but once I'm done, it's all golf... and actual work...

My wife woke me up one night because I was practicing a putting motion in my sleep.  I was pretty impressed she recognized my putting grip, especially because she's got no interest in golf!

[Jameshooper]

You know you are addicted to golf when:

- You get up at 4:30 in the morning to go to the golf course to play 9 holes before work

[Mattplusness]

Hahahaha I loved #2, good stuff man - excellent post to read after waking up.

[Bigtank]

Mine is a true story....

When you leave your wife at home with your 1 week old twin boys because you got member's badges for Sunday at the Master's...and can be forever memorialized in the picture of Phil hitting the shot out of the pines!

[dondiegojr]

You know your addicted to golf when your stopped at a red light and you pick out a target like a light pole or a store sign and say to yourself "if i was on the course, I would go with my easy 6i." LMAO, I do it all the freaking time.
