10 Signs You’re Completely Addicted to Golf

📌 Be Honest, Golf Runs Your Life

Some people play golf… and then there are people who LIVE golf.

• You think about your swing before you fall asleep.

• You check the weather only to see if it’s golfable.

• You have at least five “one last round before I quit” moments per year.

If any of this sounds familiar, congratulations—you’re a full-blown golf addict.

Here are 10 undeniable signs you’re completely obsessed with golf—how many are you guilty of?

⛳ 1. You Constantly Rewatch Your Own Swing Videos

You set up your phone on the range, take some swings, and record…

…then spend hours watching them in slow motion, thinking:

✔ “Am I shallowing the club properly?”

✔ “Do I look like Rory McIlroy yet?”

✔ “Why does my swing look NOTHING like it feels?”

🚨 Warning: You may also have a secret folder of saved swings from pros for “inspiration.”

Why This Is a Problem: Because 99% of golfers can’t self-diagnose their own swing anyway—but we still try.

🏌️ 2. You Make a Golf Swing with Anything in Your Hand

A broom? A golf swing.

A kitchen spatula? A golf swing.

A random umbrella? A golf swing.

You’ve even shadow-swung an imaginary club while standing in line at the grocery store.

🚨 Bonus Points: If you’ve ever used a TV remote as a putter.

Why This Is a Problem: Because you can’t stop thinking about your golf game—even when you’re nowhere near a course.

🎯 3. You Secretly Judge Your Friends’ Swings

You don’t say it out loud (because you’re a good person), but every time your buddy takes a swing, you think:

✔ “Wow, that backswing is way too long.”

✔ “How does he even make contact with that grip?”

✔ “That slice isn’t getting fixed anytime soon.”

🚨 Warning: If you’ve ever considered giving unsolicited swing advice, you might be too far gone.

Why This Is a Problem: Because you’re not a PGA coach—but you think like one.

🤯 4. Your Weather App Is Basically Just for Golf

Rain this weekend? Devastating.

Windy on Thursday? That’s gonna be a nightmare for my fade.

Sunny on Monday? Maybe I should call in sick…

🚨 Even Worse: If you check the forecast before asking your partner if you’re free this weekend.

Why This Is a Problem: Because normal people check the weather for things OTHER than golf.

🔥 5. You’ve Thought About Quitting Golf… But Never Do

You’ve had enough.

• Your swing feels broken.

• You’ve three-putted four times today.

• Golf isn’t even fun anymore.

So, you rage-quit the sport.

🚨 But the very next day: You see a golf video on Instagram, and suddenly you’re like:

“Maybe I just need to change my grip…”

Why This Is a Problem: Because you KNOW you’re never actually quitting.

🤣 6. You Have a Favorite Golf Ball Brand (and Act Like It Matters)

You swear by one golf ball, and nothing will change your mind.

Titleist Pro V1s = “The only ball for serious players.”

Callaway Chrome Soft = “I just like the feel.”

Srixon Z-Star = “Same as Pro V1s, but cheaper!”

🚨 Even Worse: If someone gives you a free sleeve of a different ball, and you say, “Thanks, but I don’t play those.”

Why This Is a Problem: Because most mid-handicappers can’t even tell the difference.

💨 7. You Constantly Daydream About Golf (At Work, At Home, Everywhere)

You’re supposed to be writing an email—but instead, you’re:

✔ Watching golf highlights on YouTube.

✔ Googling “best golf drills for consistency.”

✔ Checking tee times for this weekend.

🚨 Bonus Points: If you’ve ever mentally replayed an entire round when you were supposed to be focusing on something else.

Why This Is a Problem: Because you’ve spent more time thinking about golf than actually playing it.

🤔 8. You Constantly Think About Buying New Clubs (Even When You Don’t Need Them)

✔ You just bought a new driver… and are already thinking about the next one.

✔ You know every club release date before they’re even announced.

✔ You’ve convinced yourself new irons will drop your handicap by five strokes.

🚨 Even Worse: If you’ve bought a new club just because it looked cool.

Why This Is a Problem: Because it’s NEVER the club’s fault—but you still believe it is.

💥 9. You Plan Vacations Around Golf (And Try to Sneak in Extra Rounds)

✔ Family trip to Florida? Might as well squeeze in a round at TPC Sawgrass.

✔ Work trip near a golf resort? Gotta check out their signature course.

✔ Destination wedding? Wait… is there a course nearby?

🚨 Bonus Points: If you’ve ever told your partner, “I’ll only be gone for a quick nine.” (You won’t be.)

Why This Is a Problem: Because vacations are “vacations” in your head—but they’re actually golf trips.

🏆 10. You Constantly Say “Just One More Round”

You told yourself: This is the last round of the season.

But then…

• The weather stays nice.

• Your buddies invite you out.

• You just can’t resist.

So you play one more round… then another… then another.

🚨 Even Worse: If you’ve ever said “Just one more hole” and played 18 more.

Why This Is a Problem: Because golf will always pull you back in.
