Are You a Golfaholic, or Do You Just Enjoy the Game? Are you a Golfaholic, or someone who just enjoys hitting a few tops, slices, shanks and chunks? Unless you earn a living from playing the game, or compete at an elite amateur level, golf is essentially a hobby. Whether you are a serious Golfaholic, or someone who merely enjoys the occasional round isn’t necessarily determined by your ability, but rather your habits, just how much of your time is allocated to golf and how dedicated you are to improving your game? While a fair proportion of us would ideally like to play more and shoot lower scores, it doesn’t occupy our minds with every living breath, but for others, they can’t bear life, without their regular golf fix. For those of us that have been pondering the contrast between Golfaholics and the rest of us mere hackers. We developed a simple test. Give yourself a point for each one that relates to you, to see where you stand on the scale! I Always Clean My Clubs After Playing Golf A real golfer will always clean their clubs after a round, while the rest of us will turn up with grass and sand embedded within the grooves of our irons from six months ago.
