I'm blackxpress and I'm a golfaholic

[blackxpress]

I need help. Maybe a rehab clinic or something. I started playing this game in 1989 but quit after a couple of years and took up fishing. I own a really nice bass boat. 2 yrs ago I moved to Ohio from GA and left my boat down there at my mother's place. Not being able to fish I decided to get back into golf. Big mistake. For the past 2 yrs I've played golf every day unless it's raining or snowing. Last month I decided to go down to GA and get my boat. I put a bunch of money into getting it ship shape for fishing. It's sitting in my garage ready to go. I've been fishing one time. Caught a huge Musky, BTW. Other than that, every time the weather forecast looks like a good fishing day I get up and decide it's also a good golfing day. Today the high was 32F and windy. I was the only fool on the whole golf course. Shot 91 in spite of the conditions. Pretty good for me. Tomorrow it's supposed to be mostly sunny and 42F. Great day to go Sauger fishing on the Ohio River. Where do you think I'll be? Duh. On the golf course. I can't wait to get there. I plan to shoot mid '80s. Want to buy a boat?

trade ya a set of irons for it na jk but im the same way.

You could use it for pitching practice. I bet that boat would hold a boatload of golf balls.

I see what you did there...

OP- wish I were able to endure the cold weather like you.

If you think you are hooked now, just wait until you start scoring lower scores. I play in heavy rain if given the chance.

The Mrs and I are moving to Myrtle beach because we hear there are some good Golfaholic meetings and Rehab clubs down there.Maybe you should try something similiar?

just one question. why would you ever want to leave georgia and move to ohio? unless of course, you're from ohio.

Hello blackxpress. I am TakeDeadAim and I am a golfaholic also...

[blackxpress]

just one question. why would you ever want to leave georgia and move to ohio? unless of course, you're from ohio.

I'm also a Presbyterian minister. I answered a call to a church here. I guess God didn't consider course conditions before calling me here.

Oh, and ks8829, I know what you mean. I can shoot low '80s when all the stars are in perfect alignment. Most of the time I do good to break 90. I always head to the first tee wondering if this will be another low '80s day. My goal at the beginning of this season was to break 80 at least once. Didn't make it. Yet. I have played in the pouring rain but I try to avoid it. I've also played in the snow. One day last winter I teed off on 1 and it was snowing so hard I could just barely see the fairway from the tee box.

Yes, Hello Forum peeps;

I'm Kraemer and I too am a golfaholic.

Just started this October--but now I am totally consumed on GETTING BETTER. After 2+ months
and about 16 rounds; I suck! Shooting between 94-107. Had some good days where I shot a 42
for 9 which was epic-- but not now in the subZero temps; and uber-wet courses-- and Goose poop;
I'm not seeing the light. Took another lesson last weekend and can now whack the driver straight
about 254 about half the time. Have made a few birdies, some pars, many FIR/GIR combos; but seem
to always come in 2 - 3 over for each hole.

Not sure what started the bug; but I've got it baby-- Bad!

Hello.


I too am a golfaholic......made worse by the fact that I've only played two rounds in over two months.....I'm going nuts. New driver on the way an evaluating some new fairway woods, too. Things are looking much better schedule-wise for January golf!!!!!


I also have a boat and 4 wheeler in the garage.....guess how many times I've been fishing or hunting in the last two years (since resuming golf after a 5 year layoff)???? Zero!!!!! 4 wheeler is being sold this week!!!

From Georgia to Ohio.....wow....that is a serious change in climate.....too bad you couldn't spend your winters here and summers there. You'd be single digit handicap for sure.

Welcome to this forum. Lots of fun reading and posting here.

[Leftygolfer]

I live in Cincinnati. You are nuts to play right now. Monday was ok but the weekend was so wet.

I am very addicted too. It is like crack (getting better)

[LBlack14]

I'm just North in Mason right around the corner from old Western Row golf course.
