scooducks Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I met my current girlfriend last October, towards the end of the golfing season. For the last 6 months, we've spent most weekend days together, mostly because I like spending time with her, buuuuuuutttttt also because the weather is too shitty to golf regularly between November and March. Last week, I sent her a text letting her know I was playing nine holes after work on Friday... here's how it went: Me: Hey FYI playing nine after work today, should be done around 7:30. Her: Aren't you playing golf tomorrow? Me: Yes Her: So golf Friday and Saturday? Me: Yes Her: Ok I guess ... so it begins.

TSauer Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 That conversation sounds EXACTLY like me and my girlfriend. We've been together nearly 4 years, but just took up golf about 3 years ago. She doesn't golf, but I did just invite her to ride along with me this weekend.

kejoal11 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I made it clear to my wife that when she met me I played golf and I will continue to play golf. As long as i give her one day of the weekend all is well. I play early enough on saturday or sunday that I am home early so we can go out and do things. If you make it known from the start there are normally no issues. I have some buddies that golf when their wife allows them to. Crazy!!!

I have the first tee time on Sat & Sun, and I'm back home soon enough, the rest of the day is hers. It asks helps that after 5 years she had decided to take up the game. It makes a weekday 9- holes or going to the putting green a bit easier.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Like others have said. I make sure we have time together at least one day of the weekend. There are many weekends I don't play at all, some weekends where I play both days or on a golf trip. As long as she knows in advance it all generally balances out.
