So my boss now knows I'm addicted to golf. During the morning hours of Open play I had my phone taped to my forearm with the watch ESPN app on while dangling off the side of a three story building. Then we moved indoors for some other work and I still had it going. Did not care what he thought one way or another. He said I was due a slack off day anyway and I explained the only reason was because the final round got pushed to Monday. I managed to watch 75% of the open Monday. So what lengths have you gone through to play, watch, talk golf?

makes two of us. Between meetings that are all done via meeting app or in between typing or reading something I am always on THP during work.
 
I surf thp during work, and wee hours of the night. :)
 
I'm up at 3amCST for The Open, I routinely schedule vacation days around the Masters, I have my iPad at work tuned to PGA Tour on Sirius or stream Golf Channel at work, THP is at my finger tips pretty much all day....I don't think I'm a junky, I view it as passionate
 
I just started a new job, so I had it on, but kept it minimized and listened during the morning. I had it up and was watching down the stretch, though.
 
My boss knows it takes a lot to distract me from my work so he figured it was pretty interesting. I overwork myself all the time though so it wasn't that big of a deal.

My biggest golf junkie thing was about 12 years ago.

I had a friend tell me on Sunday night they had an opening in their foursome at Pinehurst 2 Monday at 1 :00

I left at five in the morning a five hour drive. Played in the tourney had the dinner. Left at 8:00 pm to drive home. Got home about 1:30 am and had to drive to York PA at 600 am for a company meeting at 8:00

Very long 36 hours but worth every minute. .

From that point on I had a standing invite to the tourney so I was able to plan for it.

As for THP at work. . Not as much time for it now days. . But I try to peak in now and then.

The first year I retired and moved to South Jersey, I stayed in a golf league in Central NJ due to my golf partner not being able to find anyone else to pair up with for league play. I'd drive 90 mins to 2 hours (with traffic) each way to play in this weekly, after-work 9-hole league. Sometimes I'd be on the road almost 4 hours to play a 2 hour 9-hole round. That only lasted one year.
 
I play fantasy golf! People don't even know it exists LOL!
 
I skipped my 10 year wedding anniversary to play in The Morgan Cup.
 
Every year during The Open, I plan work from home days on Thursday and Friday so I can watch as much as possible. Had to get a little creative this year with it extending into Monday but I got 'er done. Highlight shows or replays are OK with me on Thursday and Friday if need be for the other majors, but not The Open.

I am a sufficient golf junkie that I would miss my friends wedding for a shot at the Gauntlet next month.
Alas, it did not happen...But I would have skipped the wedding.
 
Too many to list.

Played a round before my sister's wedding. Got a speeding ticket since that's how close me and my dad cut it.

Several times when traveling for work, I figure out a way to get a round in. One time, I didn't
bring my clubs and didn't have a rental car, so took a cab 45 minutes to the course, rented clubs and bought balls, glove, tees, the teed off in 95 degree weather with 100% humidity in khakis and running shoes and had the same cab pick me up since I was in the middle of no where. It was a blast.

Don't ask my wife how many "twitter contests" I have won to make it to a THP event.

The guys at golf galaxy know me by first name.
 
Drove from South Texas to Iowa, picked up Jman along the way to play golf with a buncha guys from the internet :D

I believe that one was in the THP Orientation Welcome Packet :drinks:
 
I texted my wife today that I will be home late due to a "golf emergency". Our team was short one for the 4 ball group.

The biggest thing that may set me apart from most is that no matter where I am or where I am going, if I see a golf store Im going in. I can literally spend hours in one. I visited my first PGA SS in Orlanda and I was blown away. My wife literally had to drag me out of the store.

I do that too. It's as if the Callaway driver might be different in the Scottsdale Golf Galaxy than the one 2 miles from my house.

Once I went to the range three separate times in the same day, hitting a bucket or two each time because I got an idea about something I may have been doing wrong in my swing the time before, and then drove an hour (one way) to try some clubs.
