Well this is a big step.
Realising i have an addiction.
Do i smoke,No
Do i drink,Occasional
Do i take drugs,No
It has to be sex,No
What is this mystery that i have succumbed too and i now cant resist.
Golf.
Yes thats right Golf.
How can you be addicted to that "its only hitting a small ball into a hole".
Even my wife said before i started divorce proceedings "it cant be that difficult".
Was there any clues i was becoming an addict.
I was only an occasional player so i purchased a cheap second hand set and played a couple of times.
First round was 115.
Second round 103 hey this is getting better i hit a straight ball.
I started leaving the office early to get on the course and in a year started going round in 90.
Now i am getting serious.
I now have golf friends.
People who play all the time and have the latest clubs.
I am hooked.
I need to get lower scores.
How can i do that.
I know it must be i need new clubs.
Callaway there the best so off i got the golf shop new clubs,new bag had to have an odyssey putter.
New waterproofs that match my bag.
New glove.
No more loosing cheap balls i am now going to loose expensive balls.
New golf shoes there a must.
My phonebook has grown by 30 people all from the golf course.
Texting,Asking for a round,Do you want to play tomorrow.
So now i am 2000 pounds lighter but i have all the gear and a few friends.
I am not embarrassed on the first tee anymore.
My callway tour bag looks damn good from anywhere.
I then started going to the driving range to buy a bucket of balls and hit them into a field.
trust me until you have done it,it is great,My local driving range even has targets to hit.
I even take aim at the teenager in a little buggy that is driving around collecting the used balls.(this could get me in serious trouble as i am now getting closer).
The pressure of getting that score lower is immense.
No drinking on friday nights anymore as i play saturday morning(i need a clear head).
Perhaps i should watch pro dvd lessons.
Got them.
Even when my wife had a son i purchased a junior starter set just incase he likes it.
I know i need a holiday to take my mind off it.
Me and 3 friends went to portugal for a week playing Golf.
I am now shooting 83 to 86 but why o why wont that ball go in the hole.
It is after all only hitting a ball with a stick.
Please ball go in the hole you have me hook line and sinker.
I will keep hitting you,I will never stop whacking you with a stick but please just go in the hole.
I even arrange my working week around a couple of rounds of golf and atleast one trip to the driving range.
That teenager picking up them balls better keep moving.
Thanks for supporting me in my addiction
