    For some time, my wife’s had this ridiculous idea that I’m playing too much golf.
    Actually, it came to a head at about 11.30 last night.
    She suddenly shouted at me: ‘Golf, golf, golf. All you ever think about is bloody golf!’ And I’ll be honest, it frightened the life out of me.
    I mean, you don’t expect to meet somebody on the 14th green at that time of night.

    Golf balls are like eggs. They're white, they are sold by the dozen, and a week later you have to buy more.

    I have the same issue with my wife! She thinks this is the stupidest thing in the world, but I've found if i manage my time and help her out a bit before I start playing she's pretty cool about it.

    Did you every stop and think that maybe she wanted you to pull out the long iron and make a hole in one.

    There are several questions that need to be answered before it can be decided if you are playing too much golf. The first has to do with how your body reacts if you don't play. Do you feel agitated or get a headache? Does your nose start running or your hands start shaking? Do you vomit?  If the answer is "yes" you are over the edge, play too much, and need an intervention!

    A "no" answer gives you some room but has not fully answered the part about too much. Going forward, have you gotten out of bed at a weird hour and immediately started playing? Do you now keep track of the time in various places in the world where your favorite golfer friends live? Do you have a spread sheet where you list any and all information about golfers on your friends list for easy access when you play with them? Do you go to the WGT pro shop on a regular basis and check the specs on equipment and balls? Do you take real money and buy credits? Do you spend an hour or more each day trying to get "free" credits? Do you eat meals while playing? Answer "yes"  to three of these questions and you might be on the edge of playing too much. Answer yes to all of them and you need help but you are not yet  addicted.

    If you need an intervention please call 0800 530 0012. Help is available as near as Timperley, Cheshire.
