when you develop carpaltunnel syndrome from gripping the club so damn much and still go to the range for 2 hours a day and walk around the house 24/7 with a club in your hands.

... when your wife tells you to pack your golf clubs for the honeymoon, even though she doesn't play.

... when someone mentions "the good book" you immediately think of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book

- You carry your clubs in your vehicle at all times just in case someone calls and wants to golf.

I in fact drive a full size truck and my golf bag, shoes, hat's and visor's plus a dozen or so golf balls all ride in the passenger seat, every day. In fact to only time they are out is at the course or the range. I saw a sticker on another car one day and it will be the next thing on my back window.

thought this might be fun to see others' creative answers... so just state your reason, and try to make it amusing.

I do this also, the problem is that my wife uses it the opposite way.

"We could have gone out to eat twice..." I have to bite my tongue so I don't say, "Yeah but every time I play a round of golf I get better, judging by the size of your ass, you're an expert at eating."

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
