Getting Geeked for Golf
Self-Diagnosis Guidelines for Obsessive Gear Heads
Golfers are gear heads. They love equipment, gadgets and swing training aids. And, golfers for the most part are an obsessive bunch. Why else would we pay to chase a ball around in the woods, and then do it all over again?
Obsessive gear heads do what they do best, they obsess over their gear.
Could you be obsessed with golf? Do you suffer from the same affliction experienced by millions of other golfers who privately hide their excitement for golf? Does your commitment to the game bring you shame?
As a free public service, NiceBallz presents scientifically proven self-diagnosis guidelines for obsessive gear heads. A few things you do, especially before a big match or when playing a new course, will reveal if you’re geeked for golf.
You might be geeked for golf if:
- You clean your clubs or scrub your grips before you playYou review the online scorecard or take the virtual golf course tourYou download the course into your GPS distance measuring device a few days before just to be safeYou wash off your dirty pull cart before putting it in the carYou buy so many Gatorades and Powerbars that the grocery bagger asks if you want help to your carYou pick out your stylish head-to-toe golf outfit the night beforeYou color coordinate your outfit with golf partners a day ahead (not everyone in Paula pink or Tiger red)You play a practice round ahead of an important tournamentYou change the configuration of your adjustable clubs for each courseYou check to make sure none of the spikes on your shoes are loose the night beforeYou mark your golf balls before getting to the first tee or, worse, even before arriving at the parking lotYou make next weekend’s tee time before getting to work on Monday or, worse, right after your round

What about someone who does ALL of those things AND more?
Gotta go. Clubs need scrubbing and printing off scorecard for today.
I would say most serious players put in a practice round or two on a course before an important tournament. I know I do.
And I mark all my golf balls when I open a dozen of them. It takes a couple minutes to print out “If Found, Please Return to Charles Boyer. Call (919) xxx-xxxx” on a dozen shiny new Pro-V1s!!!!
