I buy and sell clubs relentlessly all year long....to my wife's dismay.

I play TW 08 on my psp on my transit ride to work all day.

My clubs are stored in my bedroom...to my wife's dismay.

My favourite weekend of the year is a 3 man scramble tourney in Parry Sound which I have been going to for almost 20 years.

I get asked for advice from people at work when they are buying new clubs.

The mailroom guys drop boxes off at my desk......

[Big Shooter]

I alternate subscrptions from year to year for Golf Digest and Golf Magazine
...I read it cover-to-cover as soon as I get it....usually in the washroom! :eek: (tmi?)

My computer wallpaper has always been a golf ball!

I bookmark all of my favourite/most used websites--banking, e-mail, facebook, etc., but for Toronto Golf Nuts, PGA.com, Golf Weather, etc. I have indvidual icons on my desktop!

My car is green, I bought green grips 2 years ago (have since been replaced), my golf bag is green, I have 2 pairs of plus-4's, both shades of green!

When I have a day off or I'm planning a vacation, EVERYONE at work says: "let me guess, you're going Golfing?"

[nearace]

I golf in january:rofl:

[dreaded3putt]

I have read this far down this thread..........:hush:

[Phnert]

hmmm thats where i read my Golf mags cover to cover...(the throne) :eek:

one more
all my junk mail contains either some golf product or golf vacation .............or Viagra

[davepratt]

My home offcie has 18 golf related items on the green walls, a golf border around the room, a golf lamp, a golf calendar and my golf pool file is always the first in the drawer.

When I call my office first thing in the morning on a sunny day, the girls automatically say "I assume that we are to tell anyone looking for you that you are on a course today?"

[rpangman]

I was named the "Golf Pig of the Year" on the Ottawa Golf Forum.
My wife and I golf almost every day, often 27 holes. In fact, we are in Florida right now, staying in a condo over the pro shop on a 27 hole golf course.

Don't tell Golfbum you're here!! :D

[DtwnGolfer]

Instead of counting sheep to get to sleep, I'm replaying a full round of golf shot by shot :confused:

Oh I do that too....or if I'm in pain trying to get to sleep, I think about GOLF! :)

[nofrills]

I practice my grip while holding a pen at my desk

[scoada37]

I wake up in the morning look at the weather (if it's good) and thinking Golf or Work, its a no brainer:nono:

[Jots]

the website is the only thing you have saved on your favorites list...

[sliceisnice]

I keep a old spalding 1 iron in my work truck so that when i am waiting on site for some reason or another out it comes practice the swing amazing how many critics pass bye !:rofl:

[Richard]

You think the parking lot lights provide enough light to keep practising on the putting green at 10pm

You know the brand of clubs that Mike Wier uses just like you know Bobby Orr used Victoriaville hockey sticks.

An early tee time makes you get out of bed unlike anything else

You have intentionally played a shot to bounce off an iced-over pond

Golftown has closed while you are on their putting green

[Bellyhungry]

I know a guy who skipped his own sister's wedding ceremony to play golf with me.

Great thread! Reasons 2 and 4 I totally agree with.

2)I drive by an empty field with a pond and imagine a par 3 design from it

4)if I injure myself, the first thing I do is test my swing to see if it is affected.

feel free to add to this list:cookoo:

I`ll add these...

1. You hold your umbrella with a golf grip.
2. Everytime you get in an elevator with a mirror and you`re alone, you take a few swings and tell yourself "boy thats a beautiful swing!"
3. When you make plans on the weekend, the first thing you do is plan around your tee time even though you havnt booked one yet.
4. You have a indoor putting mat in your office and have putting competitions with your coworkers.
5. You tell people you cant make it to lunch or dinner cause you need to watch the Majors.
6. You tell your boss you need to leave early for a "doctors appointment" cause your friend just called you to play golf.
7. When you shop for a car, you check out the trunk space to see if you can fit 4 golf bags and pull carts.
8. When you start a golf forum with your buddies and call it Toronto Golf Nuts :D

*As I look at the mat next to me*

We actually took it to the next level...orange no-fly ball and wedge for chipping contests and full swing shots aiming for ceiling vents for accuracy.

Please tell me the season opener next week?!?!?!? :hyper:

[sharkhark]

....i am near season end and decide which will be my final round by looking up on the computer exactly which temps could damage my clubs....when theres one ball too many in my tightie whities between shots to keep em warm:$

[Big Shooter]

I`ll add these...

Absolutely, that's why in-part I got rid of my Acura! ;)

[gatsby]

I drive past the courses starting in February gauging how much snow has melted and when the course can be ready to go.

I carry my hole in one ball (top flight 3000) in the car.

Clothes are purchased strickly in accordance with their acceptablility and playworthiness.

My daily routine includes reading this forum, the gold channel website, score,golf mag, and myrtle beach holiday blurbs in my email without ever considering them spam.

I can totally understand the need to travel to the Arctic Circle to golf under the midnight sun on June 21st. Hell, if Druids can dance around stone monoliths, is it any sillier to hit off a mat and hope for a decent shot?

11 drivers
14 fairway woods
4 hybrids
9 sets of irons
15 wedges
10 putters
4 carry bags
3 cart bags
5 pairs of golf shoes

and you still find yourself browsing the BST on a daily basis...

My '96 VW Jetta once fit 3 stand bags, 1 tour bag, 2 pull carts and the whole foursome.

I owned a jetta once, i think god invented them for golf, you just keep throwing stuff in that massive trunk waiting and waiting for it to fill up.
