You know you’re a golfer when….(courtesy of GOLF MONTHLY UK)

… you think it is perfectly normal to use the dishwasher to clean your practice balls

… when looking at a new carpet all you can think is how suitable it will be for practising your putting on

… you can absent-mindedly practise your golf swing at any moment that you are standing up – waiting for the kettle to boil or for the lift, in a meeting with your boss, at a funeral

…you have a deep tan on your left arm which starts below the shirt sleeve line and ends abruptly at the wrist

… you think it perfectly normal when giving directions to say things such as ‘about a 5-iron from there take a left turn’

… every pair of trousers you own has either tees or a ball marker, or both, in the pockets

… you can never bear to throw an old club away

… when choosing a new car the most important thing is whether the boot is large enough to fit your golf bag

… you think all those players’ wives in the white boiler suits at the Masters par 3 tournament look sexy, and fantasise what your wife would look like in one

… you cannot see a stretch of rolling landscape without wondering what kind of golf course you might be able to design over it

… you can’t look at a somewhere, such as the building across the way from your office, without wondering what club you’d need to use to land a ball on it

… you think everyone else enjoys your blow-by-blow accounts of your round as much as you do (don’t worry – they do, promise)

… your wife won’t let you include Seve as one of your first-born’s names, but you get her to agree to Nicholas and you spell it Nicklaus on the birth certificate.

    • Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
