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 keep the eggs in the fridge in a range basket.

You give directions by saying, "It's a par 4 away".

You wear Foot Joy golf gloves for yard work.

Your nicest shoes are reserved for playing golf.

After a meal in a nice restaurant, you pull out a tee to pick your teeth.

Your homemade back scratcher used to be your 3 iron.

On Tournament days you fly the 18th hole flag of the PGA course being played.

When you can't sleep, instead of counting sheep, you imagine every shot you will take on your next round at your favorite course.  Happy dreams!

When the recipe says to roll the meatballs into golf ball size, you are within 0.01mm of the correct diameter.

Geez, I thought I had a problem because I do all the stuff mentioned above. Well, most of it, anyway. Cool, guess I am ok then. I will add one: When going for a drive through the country, you envision how every little meadow or clear spot amongst the trees would play as a golf hole.

When you take days off from work to golf but as far as your wife knows, you're at work. You keep a golf grip at your desk as your "stress ball" You dont waste time with normal fitness or exercises, you only do those that may have a positive impact on your golf game.

When you buy a bird from the pet store solely to work on your grip pressure.

Oh, that's a good one. Definitely applies to me.

      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 🙂
