Betty Ford has no chance of curing this one:

...when you're willing to drive 2 1/2 hours from Madison, Wi. to Chicago in early January to play a partially-frozen golf course, just so you can see the Reverse Alps Hole with your own eyes, soaking in the walk through the tunnel under the "El" as if it was Swilcan Bridge itself...

 

Guilty as charged! (And the Reverse Alps was worth every mile of the drive. ;)

I also drove -- in much better weather -- 1 1/2 hours to a train station in Fox Lake, Ill., so I could take a 1 1/2-hour train trip to Chicago, meet up at the Sears Tower with a fellow GCAer WHO I FIRST MET AT the Reverse Jans, take a cab ride to a local restaurant, and have dinner with a bunch of GCA posters and hangers-on I'd never met -- mainly to discuss the maintenance meld at a restored golf course I'd played the summer before.

...when...

1.  You spend, or have spent, more time than you'd like to admit reading about the history of this course and that course.  Especially on nice days when you could be out playing.
2.  You could conceivably be up until 5am reading articles, or have been up until 5am reading articles. More than once. 
3.  When the website is down, you call/ask others if the website is down.


I am guilty of all of the above.

I am guilty of that one as well.

When it's the first site you visit in the am, and the last at night!

Not all the time, but a lot of the time for sure. And most of the time its not the first only because Yahoo is my home page and I might, just might, check my email first.

When you have typed out a one paragraph review of every course you have played so that, just in case a thread comes up on the board about it, you don't have to rethink your review/opinion of the course every time.

Hey, what can I say? Thats why I have close to 3100 posts in less than 3 years. Yeah, I'm probably an addict, but not so bad that I need an intervention just yet.  ;D

Yeah, but thats too obvious. Its always green. You figure that out without being an addict. Rarely does he have to go past green. Though I have seen him go farther. I'll bookmark this topic and when I have time and a faster connection I'll bring up this old post e and I had that went like 8 colors deep in responses.

I think we are going to let you get by unscathed as it seems golfcars refers to the Volkswagen Golf.
