Then one faithfull day I handed her a club, had her drop a ball and hit it. She discovered she had an affinity for the game and Hallelujah. No more complaining about how much time and money I spend on golf. I bought her clubs, and spent time teaching her the basics of the game. She since has had a Hole-in One, won the Ladies Club Championship and has tied me in gross score. Be careful what you wish for (LOL). All kidding aside, I am glad she took to the game, we spend many quality hours together on the course. I am pleased I was able to pass along the love of the game my Dad gave me to my wife, and look forward to many happy years trying not to let her beat me.
Take her for walks on the course, let her see the beauty of it all, the flora, fauna, and serinty. Do not force her, let her discover it on her own.
I wish you many happy years together on the links, be humble when you win, and dont be to upset when she finally beats you,after all if she wins you were a good teacher
