...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.

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?).

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 holes.  Finish my round, then I go back to the range and hit another 100 balls with the clubs I didn't play well. 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 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.

How old is this? I don't know one of these people. Are they South American dictators?

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.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
