5) When it rains you think to yourself, 'hmmm at least the course is getting watered'

6) You can absent-mindedly practise your golf swing at any moment that you are standing up - waiting for the kettle to boil or for the lift, in a meeting with your boss, at a funeral

7) During the summer months you're guaranteed to have a deep tan on your left arm which starts below the shirt sleeve line and ends abruptly at the wrist

8) You can't remember to take the bins out but you can sure remember that missed three footer on 18 last week that cost you 0.1

14) You cannot see a stretch of rolling landscape without wondering what kind of golf course you might be able to design over it

15) You can’t look at a somewhere, such as the building across the way from your office, without wondering what club you’d need to use to land a ball on it

16) You think everyone else enjoys your blow-by-blow accounts of your round as much as you do (don’t worry - they do, promise)

17) You want to give your child the middle-name 'Seve'.
