You know you are addicted to GCA when...

[Richard Choi]

I just read "You might be a purist if..." thread started by Jeff Brauer (http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php?topic=16766.0), and thought it would be fun to bring it back, albeit with a slightly different focus.

Please feel free to add your own finish to this phrase; "You know you are addicted GCA when..."

-You have a countdown clock running on your PC for your first tee time at Old Macdonald

-You start having withdrawls if you have not seen a photo of a golf hole in last 24 hours

-You have a picture of Tom Doak as your desktop screen

-There is a faint GCA logo imprint on your monitor

-You miss the old Merion threads

-You schedule out your entire golfing year by going from one GCA event to the next

-Melvyn starts to make sense

-You have no problem sending cash to someone you've never met who lives half way around the world

[Mac Plumart]

One of the best threads ever.  Smiled and laughed out loud.  Great stuff!! 

[George Pazin]

-You have no problem sending cash to someone you've never met who lives half way around the world

Whew, I almost struck out on your list...

Here's my addition:

- You're shocked that someone doesn't know who Seth Raynor is.

"...but I don't know anyone who voted for him..."

Shiv -

Feint? Or faint? Either one's funny...

When you wonder what kind of move (head fake, juke, limp leg) the unnamed GCAer put on the centerline bunker at the Coore and Crenshaw course.  The suspense is almost enough to make me pass out.
