The Golf Alpine Tour starts again. A pro reveals how the next tournament is guaranteed to be a success.
In the USA, the Golf Nut Society was even founded in the 1980s, the association of golf maniacs. With tough admission requirements. To join, prospective members had to answer 60 questions at the time. Almost like being on a psychiatrist's couch. Have you ever been threatened with divorce because of your golf game? Have you ever played 36 holes at Christmas? And have you ever turned on your car headlights to practice at night? Golf Alpin has summarized the ten most unmistakable signs that you are a golf junkie.
- You wrote down your children's names on the back of the rule book so you wouldn't forget them.
- You know the names and birth dates of all the PGA Tour pros, you know all the results of their last tournament rounds by heart - but you have no idea what your neighbor's name is.
- Your credit card PIN is the clubhouse phone number.
- Even when hiking with your family in the wonderful mountains of Tyrol and Salzburg Land, you look for a stick in the forest to hone your swing along the way.
- You have never missed a Greenkeeper birthday - but you forget your wedding anniversary year after year.
- At dinner with friends, you sit at the lavishly set table and ask around, "Can someone please pass me the pitch fork?"
- Your bed linen, cups and plates all bear the logo of your home club - and your alarm clock sounds a loud "Fore!" every morning.
- The evening snack should ideally be served for you only at the halfway hut.
- You mow the lawn at home in your garden several times a day and when your neighbor flips you the bird, you mutter something about "St. Andrews" ...
- On the lawn in the swimming pool, you chip the empty snack bag with your son's snorkel into the nearest trash can.
