Is this the face of a golf snob?

This is one of the earliest pictures of me holding a golf club.  My formative golfing years were spent at Saticoy Country Club, which is a great golf course, but I never felt like a snobby golfer or person, especially since there were plenty of those to go around at the course and my father as an oilfield worker was far from one of those.  When my father eventually sold his membership, I started finally playing lots and lots of other golf courses, hence this website.

Now, as GolfTop18 approaches 200 golf courses I have reviewed officially, I think I'm becoming more and more of a golf snob.  Let me be clear, I'm far from snooty when it comes to interactions with most golfers, clothes (i don't specifically buy golf clothes), clubs (i buy them rarely), a golfer's skill or anything like that.  However, a recent round at a less than savory golf course where I actually walked off in the middle, let me to come to the conclusion that I can no longer stomach playing golf courses that are mundane, poorly manicured or otherwise just bad.  I'd rather spend more money or drive farther to find a course that inspires me, and there are many of those.  They say the first step to address a problem is admission, and I'm there.  However, I don't really feel like I want a cure.
