Started golfing last summer and now I'm obsessed. It's the only time I'm not thinking about work or home stuff for like 4 hours. My score still sucks but I don't even care anymore. Anyone else get this way about a hobby? Wife thinks I'm crazy spending 50 bucks a round but it's cheaper than therapy
Golf is the perfect dad escape honestly. It's got this built-in structure where you're forced to put your phone down and just exist for 4 hours. I get the addiction completely.
It's because golf lets your brain turn off from dad mode for a few hours. Nothing wrong with that as long as you're balancing it with family time.
The mental thing is real. It's the only time my brain actually shuts up about work and everything else. I get it.
Just wait until you can bring your kids. Then it becomes about teaching them instead of escaping. Different but equally addicting.
Golf is basically legal escape for dads. You're out there with your own thoughts, the sun, nobody asking you for anything for four hours. No wonder you're obsessed.

Started last summer and already obsessed sounds like the typical progression. Fair warning though, the costs can add up fast. But yeah the mental break is real.
