You Know You're a Real Golfer When...  (cont.)

…you use a plain white towel for your clubs. Never a towel with a ring connector.

…you hang your left leg out of the cart in an attempt to look bored, competent and nonchalant, all at the same time, while risking serious injury.

…you try to make that long carry to that tough par 5 until you finally make it.

…you practice your shoulder turn while driving or looking in a mirror.

…you play better when the pressure’s on.

…you play by the rules, period.

…you actually practice.

…you prefer your tees to be all one color.

…you don’t have to try every new club that comes out.

…you carry your bag backwards on your opposite shoulder (especially college
players).

…you have newspaper clippings with your name in them.

…you try to qualify for the Open and shoot within the 10 stroke limit.

…you always play the tips.

…you have subscriptions to and read ALL the golf magazines.

…you get satellite just to get the Golf Channel.

…you have a Gore-Tex rainsuit.

…you introduce yourself to fellow-competitors on the first tee and by the first
green you have to ask their names again (after all, you were preparing mentally).

…you can run face to face into a Tour player and not ask for an autograph.

…you putt last in a scramble and make putts.

…you get invited to play scrambles and the others offer to pay your fee.

…you return the iron covers someone bought you.

…you’ve mailed something to the USGA.

…you hit a ball into a water hazard and you won’t even go look for it. You know why.
