Hi Everyone
"Aangename kennis" means "Nice to meet you" in my South African home language, Afrikaans.
I was really surprised that I could become a Toronto Golf Nut member without having to take a tough test in the Canadian North to proof that I am in fact a golf nut! Thank God. That is why I added a Golf Nut rating/voting system to see what kind of golf nuts we have here.
When you have reached a major achievement in some African countries the government will present you with the Order of the Grand Leopard: Class I, II, III IV etc. So lets use a sililar system - Golf Nut: Class I, II, III, IV & V.
Class V: More nuts about golf than the average person. You play more than 10 times a year, but not every week.
Class IV: You play every week.
Class III: You play every week with one or more regular buddies, and practice at a range once a month even through the winter. You also watch at least Golf Central on the Golf Channel every week.
Class II: Play more than once and practice 1 hour weekly. You make a point of breaking away for golf every winter. You watch the PGA event every week and most of the other programs on the Golf Channel.
Class I: All of the above, plus you play golf during December and March during warm spells; have played a full round in the snow when the course was closed; you have travelled more than 400 km to play a specific course on a weekend; you keep your wedge and putter in the house between rounds to chip balls.
I am looking forward to hear your comments on how to improve this Golf Nut rating.
Keep your heads down...
