How do you identify a golf addict? If you check your phone in the middle of the night to see if your handicap has changed, that’s one possible sign. Collecting ball markers, keeping a list of all the golf courses that you have played and buying new golf gear when you really don’t need it are also signs of an addiction – albeit a healthy one.
One of the biggest tell tale signs of them all, however, is the golfer who can’t pass a beautiful piece of countryside or go on a coastal walk without remarking how such terrain would make for a wonderful golf course.
