    looking at the +15C possibility later this week, mine is about a 5 but increasing by about .5 everyday. I should be going mental in about 10 days.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Angry

    I am a 10, freaking out, freaking freaking out!
    Hybrid is sold, Warbird Plus balls sold!
    All new grips on every club in the bag.
    7 dozen Titleist sitting on my front porch just dropped off by UPS at 9:20 am today from knetgolf.
    I am losing it.

    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    I may have to get the shag bag out and go hit some wedges at the park in the snow!

    I don't know, somewhere between a 1 and a 3 I'd guess, it's still ski season. Once the hill closes, I will move up the scale pretty quick.

    I'm at a 5 now. I managed a short golf trip in early Feb so that helped the cause.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    I'm easily in the 8-9 phase, being able to get out and play will definitely stop my golf purchases for a while.

    On a positive (rationalized) note my golf wardrobe is looking pretty good and I am fully stocked on balls, tees, gloves, irons are re-shafted and all the clubs have new grips.

    I am a couple weeks away from spending part of the tax return on a driver though . . c'mon warm weather!
    Even I've never heard of me

    ain't that the truth. Since when did the off-season become more expensive than the actual golf season?

    Not anxious at all. The 9 balls I lost in the snow on the front nine of Premiere today were previously used anyway.

    Until the snow is gone from my yard, it doesn't really cross my mind to actually go golfing. Buying and selling putters is another story altogether.

    what are you getting at exactly Chris? You obviously aren't familiar with my agressive slim down program. While you won't mistake me for Reza out there, my plan is to be lean and mean for golf season - well as lean as I can actually get in three months.

    I always have an itch to golf but won't be playing tomorrow as I do need the odd day off. It's just too rough being in Florida on a beautiful wind free sunny day.

    You know its bad when you arrive at Golf-o-Max an hour before your tee-off so that you have time to hook your bag onto your ClicGear and attach your GPS unit!!!! YIKES!!!

    I can't stop thinking about it
    I got 2 games in N.Ireland , under my belt ,but illness forced me out of more .
    That only made the itch stronger , i've been to Golftown twice looking for clubs and i'm considering selling the ones that i bought at the end of last year , before they get onto the course.
    I'm exploring the classifieds daily on OG , TGN , Kijiji and used Ottawa for golf gear, and i'm compiling a list of reasons for the wife as to why i need with another set of clubs.
    I'm also planning to go to NY state to find a course at the end of March.
    Needless to say , I'm ready to go

    Step 1 is admitting you have a problem. Good for you.

    I'd normally be going crazy at this time of the year, but not this year or last. After playing more than 50 rounds from January 1 to the end of February, a little rest is a good thing. That hasn't kept me from swinging an iron in the basement or hitting putts in the dining room.
