When I was single I'd golf at least once a week if not more. I got married 10 years ago and my golfing went to just a handful of times a year. About 6 monthes ago we started a mens golf club at our church and I have been golfing alot more. at least a few times a month. We try and get out once a week.

Anyhow. This brings me to my question. My wife has recently expressed interest in learning to golf. How many of your wives golf with you? I know some of you want your time by yourself with just the guys.

will I regreat getting her into golf?

let's hear it.....

The wife's got her pet project so she has to be at her desk by 9 am, so we've taken to hitting the links by 6:30, we play the front nine together, then she heads on home, and I get to finish the back nine. Do this Monday, Wedensday and Fridays. Pays to have 2 cars. Of course Tuesday and Thursday is boys day out.

My wife plays too. We do play together once in a while. When she started, we look around and found her "lady" gang. So she has a girls day and I have my boys game.

It is also good... can treat this as a family outing as well...

I cant see it being a negative thing, however....everyone needs their own space and time to relax.

I would play golf with my girlfriend, but its nice to be able to go out and chew the fat with the boys as well.

Heya,

well its my wife who got me into Golf.
She used to compete in local tourneys but stopped, and now we are learning the fundamentals from a good Golf Pro teacher and have enjoyed each other's company.

Here in my country, if the male golfer doesn't want their wife to learn Golf, then it means he is up to something fishy. There are some here in our country, who uses Golf as their alibi's to play around.
You know, he'd play the first 9 holes, and once his pants gets dirty, he would stopped and play a different kind of 9 holes...get what I mean?

So everything depends on what is your priorities in Life.

When I got married, my lovely bride knew what she was getting into, marrying an avid golfer. She started lessons with the pro at a public course near our house and was coming along really well for the first couple years. I used to love coming home from work and getting in a quick 9 holes on summer evenings, but it was REALLY special when she would come along and play.

Then she got pregnant with our first child and never played golf again...

Every time I see couples playing golf together, I'm envious...
