the real question is, Golf or sex?

I pity the woman (or man) who poses that question to his/her golfing spouse.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Obsession and addiction are the perfect descriptors for my feelings towards golf.


The only thing I'm passionate about is my girlfriend.

The answer to that question can be answered this way. After which are you immediately thinking about what you will do next time? After which can you decied to play again with almost no recovery time? Afte which do you spend 30 minutes rehashing the experience over the beverage of your choice? BF Skinner should have invented Golf, it fits almost any defination of operant conditoning I could think of. Really only a women can make you as crazy.

I play Saturday and Sunday, sometimes 2 rounds on both days.
I go to the range 3 times a week.
I scrub my clubs before every round.
I buy 4 different Golf magazines a month.
I watch all 4 rounds of both the European and PGA tours every week.
I play Tiger Woods on the xbox, Wii Sport Golf, and Links 2003 (!) on the PC.
My Room is full of books like 'The illustrated history of the Ryder cup' and 'The Science of Golf'.
Most of my iPhone apps are Golf related and my laptop is full of swing videos, instruction videos and the official, 211 page R & A 'Rules of Golf'.

I'm not sure any of those words cover it.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
