Who’s addicted to golf?

[Johnnyboy]

Is anyone else as fired up as I am about playing golf... Wednesday they say we will be in the 60's, Saturday 68 degrees here in PA. I have a tee time 10am on Saturday...

I can't seem to get enough golf in... or ever get it off my mind.

I think I need help... I am addicted...

Just revamped my entire set over the winter. New Driver, New Irons and even a new 3 wood. I had ping i3 blades for 10 years and I just purchased a new set of ping i10's... They are so damn nice... Technology is sick in new equipment...

Anyway... Stuck at work... Thinking about golf... How much more time until Saturday???

Just a few weeks ago the vp of our company came in town and took us out for a golf outing...my first time in 4 years. it wasn't pretty. i used to be on the golf team in high school and played through college and was pretty decent, but after college i just gave it up. i made a complete disaster of the first 4 holes, but got my game back and made bogey on the last 5. not a bad finish for a 4 year absence. i'm stoked to play again. definitely getting in some range time before going back out.

After trade in of my old stuff... iron set was $600... He gave me a Tour W Wedge ($110) and I purchased my 3 wood for $300... My new driver was a bunch of Christmas Gift Cards that added up... $12 after the use of the cards... $912 all in...

I hear you! Nothing like catching the groove again... I hate the 8's but the birdies are what keep me coming back. I took it too serious about 8 years ago and stopped having fun. Now when I play I am happy with low to mid 80's and I am happy with high 90's (90's mean I drank too much beer on the front nine )

Only four more days...

Golf rules. Just being out there is great therapy for me. I suck at it, but love being out there.

i used to be a club thrower in high school/college. because obviously it's the club's fault right? big dumb kid.

im a few beers and a nice round of golf guy tho these days. it's kinda nice getting older in that respect..its just golf. loved watching the masters this year. my grandma used to watch golf and she didn't have a clue how to play it, she just thought it was peaceful and the scenery was beautiful...and that's kinda where i'm at playing it these days, and it feels like i'm going to be better than ever.

Re: Who’s addicted to golf?

Considering Davis Love III is my cousin, it seems I would have been a little more involved in golf. Never really tried to play though, I was too involved in other sports that broke bones and busted up my shins while growing up. Now that I'm old, fat, and like plaid pants, maybe I should give it a go

^that is pretty cool!! you really don't have a good excuse to not kick ass.

I'd like to get back into it too, I think the recessionary cycle we are in sort of highlights activities like golf

Re: Who’s addicted to golf?

i am. been golfing my whole life. my close freinds and i have this tradition that we started back in high school where we would drink a beer a hole and just have a good ol time. it would be fun to do that with a few fellow [ms]'ers someday for sure.

Never ever held a golf club in my hand.

I don't consider it a sport when a piece of string holds back the crowd.

^ your definition of a "sport" is relative to your predispositions then.
