When I had my set of Walter Hagen clubs, I snapped my 3W. I took the pruning shears to the shaft and cut the handle off and electrical taped the shaft nub. I now have the grip with me at work and am working on my grip in my down time.

What do you do that non-golfers will never understand?
 
I keep a 60* wedge and a putter at my desk. Not to mention my putting green with ball return...
 
When I was having anxiety attacks really bad and minor heart issues, I kept a calender in my work truck of famous golf holes. I don't know if maybe it relaxed my mind or whatever, but it worked as far as keeping me from having so many anxiety attacks. I also kept a golf ball in my pocket while I worked, and would bounce it when I felt stressed.

Lucky you! I work in a bank, so the handle gets a few weird looks. If I had a putting green that would prolly result in a meeting with the bosses lol.

Its funny how that works. I think of dream courses that I want to play when I'm having a bad day. Or I envision shot scenarios from my local courses. Calms me down or makes my day better also.
 
I could be anywhere, and out of the blue I'll just practice my swing, even without a club in my hand.

I do that all the time.
 
Meet and play golf with total strangers from a golf forum
 
There is a driving range 3 minutes (parking lot to parking lot) from my work. When I am having a bad day I take a 30 minute break and go hit the range or chip and putt. It is very calming.

It's funny you mention stuff like that. Because on nights that I can't sleep instead of counting sheep I count shots. I try to replay my last round in my head, shot by shot. I usually only get to hole 6-7 before I fall asleep.
 
When I struggle to sleep, instead of sitting on the dark, stressing out, I usually watch golf movies on my iPod. (Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack)

I've been caught doing this, kind of embarassing.
