Addicted to Golf 2014

ESPN’s Shelley Smith published a pierce on ESPN’s Outside the Lines entitled “Addicted to Golf” on July 11, 2014.  Check it out here.  As luck would have it, Addicted to Golf was a song  the original Golf Album recorded in 1986 and was also included in one of the first posts on The Golf Album Blog, here.  Sing along again with the late great Robert Palmer, but please,  as the ancient Greeks used to say, “meyden agon”, nothing to excess.

 

You're Gonna Have To Face It...

To fully enjoy the following parody, jump back to circa 1984 and picture the late, great  Robert Palmer, in homage to his pioneering music video,  crooning before a foursome of gorgeous models bedecked in pink and white see-through golf gear from head to toe, including plus fours, swinging various unfettered body parts as well as clubs somewhat in rhythm to the beat.

ADDICTED TO GOLF

(Words and Music to Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer;

The sprinkler’s on, but you're not home

Your mind is not your own

Your hiney sweats, your booty shakes

Another round is what it takes

You can't eat, you can't sleep

If there's rough, you're in deep

Your grip is tight, you can't breathe

Another round is all you need

Oh, you like to think you're immune

to the stuff, oh yeah

            Its closer to the truth to say you can't get enough

            You know you're gonna have to face it -

            You're addicted to golf

You see the signs, but you can't read

Your swing's at different speeds

Your heart beats in double time

Another loop, and you'll be mine

A one-track mind; you can't be saved

Eighteen holes is all you crave

If there's sun left for you

You will ask to play through

Oh, you like to think you're immune

to the stuff , oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough

You know you might as well admit it -

You're addicted to golf
