I wouldn't mind if my future wife played, but I'm not crazy enough to push the game on her if she doesn't even want to learn. Plus, it is nice to have 3 hours to yourself once in a while.

My wife started playing after watching the 1997 Masters that Tiger won. They wonder how many people have started playing since Tiger and she is definitely one.

She plays in a ladies league and I play in a work league. That gives us both our own time on the course. We also take a vacation day a few times each summer to play together. I find it great to have a wife who plays. I don't feel as guilty and she doesn't mind as much when I go out on a weekend with the guys or once every week in the league.

I was looking through one of the catalogues yesterday... Watts... TGW... whichever it was. They had some pretty nice prices on full ladies starter sets including the bag. It looked like reasonable stuff if you don't want to make the investment in pro line quality equipment.

I wonder if my wife would start playing again if I got her the equipment? There's an executive par 3 course near us where the cost is minimal, tons of women meet to play and she could probably find an immediate comfort zone... I wonder???

sounds a bit of a bad idea if you ask me. Maybe spoil a good day out and she might find out it takes less than 12 hrs to play, ie 4 on the course and 8 in the bar p

This is an interesting topic. I'm a woman and I've developed an interest in learning golf in the past few weeks. I'm getting ready for lessons this month and I've had two totally different reactions from the men around me:

1. My Dad who's played several times a week for more than forty years religiously and is real old-school, seems excited that someone else in the family has finally taken an interest in the game. He's given me what I feel is the most valuable tip so far: Practice, practice, practice! He said not to even think about going out on the course right away and I plan to take his advice

2. My Boyfriend who plays occasionally (less than 5 times a year) with "the boys" has tried to pretend like he didn't hear me when I said I was interested in learning golf . I made it really clear that I had no interest in infringing on his "man time" but he's kind of ambivalent about it. I'm actually looking forward to finding some beginner ladies to play with and have some "woman time" as it were, but it might be nice doing the couples thing every once in a while.

All I can say is: you guys sure are interesting!

Welcome to the forum Jane. Your Dad is right. Practice first and learn to enjoy the game instead of mistakenly expecting immediate results by going straight to the course.

Leave your boyfriend out of the picture for a while. Don't spoil your relationship by making him feel like you have to do EVERYTHING together. When you can beat him, make sure to let him know it though...
