You know you are a GCA nerd if...

[Jim Colton]

You are on your way to a DVD viewing party of the making of Old MacDonald and the making of Castle Stuart and can't decide between wearing one logo or three.

Any other examples?

[Brian Potash]

You paid 50k to join Ballyneal 7 months ago and are still happy with your decision.  (that would be me  )

[Brandon Urban]

Guys at your (overwatered) club have a "I'm Down with Brown" T-shirt made for you...

[Don_Mahaffey]

Spend 3 days with Ben Sims and never talk about flying jets...

[Bill_McBride]

Play golf in Virginia on three of the lousiest days in history -- very cold, windy, rainy -- because it was the Dixie Cup, a notorious conclave of GCA nerds. 

[Mark Saltzman]

You play Pinehurst No. 1 over 4, 7 or 8.

[JNC Lyon]

...you decline a trip to Amsterdam because you're playing Huntercombe that weekend.

[Tommy Williamsen]

You call your fiancé that you will be late for the wedding because you were two under on the first nine and you just have to play the second nine.  Me in 1968.  We are still married

[JESII]

Tommy,

That's not GCA Nerd material...that's superstar material...no matter what you shot on the back.

[Sam Morrow]

You own multiple pairs of Trues and you have a Mackenzie.

[Mark Saltzman]

You own multiple pairs of Trues and you have a Mackenzie.

Or even if you understand what Sam is talking about.

[Mark Pritchett]

GCA Nerd is redundant. 

[Tim Bert]

... You post on this thread on a Friday evening.

[Joe Leenheer]

On the way to play a course you bring along reading material about said course for the ride.

Sorry Joe, you're opinion doesn't count.

[JC Jones]

You had 3 conversations and multiple text messages with Pritchett today all relating to golf.

I know....dangit.  

Oh...does my spreadsheet that lists all the couses with architect (in alpha order and by state) that I've played help me out at all? You have one to right?

I have tablets in a closet where I keep all that.

[Rob Rigg]

You can easily point out the location of Bandon Dunes, Sand Hills, Ballyneal, National and Cypress Point on a map of the US, even if the only other cities you can find are ones you have lived in.

[Matthew Mollica]

Predictive text messaging on your phone recognises Barnbougle, Doak, or Ballyneal.

You are oblivious to the double entendre with the thread title "firm and fast down under"

You look at the aerial view of the Wonthaggi desalination plant site and think "that would have made a great golf course location".

[Cory Brown]

Brandon, is that true about the t-shirt?  If so you might be my new hero.

[Brandon Urban]

Brandon, is that true about the t-shirt?  If so you might be my new hero.

Cory- Very true... but if I'm your hero, you may be in big trouble.
I think they were finally tired of me yammering on and on about firm and fast and purple, brown and tan fairways. The one thing I have going for me is our super has been to Ballyneal and Sand Hills and is "down with brown" as well.
Now all I need is a chainsaw...

[Howard Riefs]

You believe Google Earth was developed for the intent purpose of gawking at golf course aerials.

[Cory Brown]

I'm definitely in trouble. Superintendents can fight the brown golf fight for only so long. We need the help of passionate members to further the cause of firm and fast golf.

Hopefully people are watching Royal Melbourne this week.
