Fireinthehole 668 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 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. I picked up golf about half way through my current relationship. I just pick times that she is either asleep or busy. Tough to make it work all the time, but we live to together so it's not like we don't see one another. And if I go consecutive today's it's only 9 if I do 18 it's once a weekend.

Kanoito 2,406 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm lucky. My convos go like this:Me: I'm playing tomorrow at 8am Wife: Whaaat??? It's my turn tomorrow, you do the babysitting...Me: Uhhh no, you are playing a competitive round on Sunday, so Saturday is mine... when is your mom coming?Wife: Next week, then we can play together...Me: Fine, I'll take the daughter and have her make sand castles in the practice bunker while I putt... See... we fight about who gets to play and can only play together when grandma visits us to help us babysit But that's fine, I love spending time with the little one and enjoy watching her chase my putt around the green (she's 2 year's old). 6 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to post Share on other sites
Kanoito 2,406 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Same exact thing here. My schedule usually goes as follow: video games in the winter/colder months and golf right when it warms up. It's the perfect cycle. THIS! Spent winter playing a little bit of Overwatch, WoW and PUBG. Now it's time to get on the course! 1 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to post Share on other sites
Golfspy_CG2 26,404 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.

Brian A 1,007 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The best thing to happen was her best friend had a baby, I have become good friends and golf buddies with the friends husband, so now when he and I golf she goes and visits the baby. Makes it less of an "oh you're golfing again" 2 Quote Driver: TS 2, Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff 9.5* Setting, A2 Fairway Wood: G30 Stiff Shaft Hybrid: TS2 19* Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff shaft Irons: 718 AP1 (4-PW) AMT Red Stiff Shafts Wedges: RTX4 52* 56* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to post Share on other sites
Apolloshowl 2,623 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Oh do I know the feeling! I work seasonally (winter) so summer is my time off and golf time. That being said we made sure we have some time at the cottage each weekend so it all balances out. That and I can always golf while she's at work.

rdub764 2 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 If my kids were older and I could just take them with me then it would never be a problem. So I am waiting for the day that kid are in school all day and she's at work. Way more time for golf. Woohoo Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MmmmmmBuddy 1,335 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I play golf and video games, those are my hobbies. My wife does neither. I have found that as long as I make some time for her I'm usually free to plan to play golf and video games when I want. She doesn't play but she does ride along sometimes which is nice Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy PS4 or X Box?? And what Games?

geez2323 193 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 And it begins.....invite her to ride along a few times. She will be bored and golf will not be some magical thing you do without her. Come home happy and in a great mood and after a while she will want you to golf. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
josmi15 1,734 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I told my wife that it could be worse. we're happily married 12 years this past Sunday and if this is my mid life crisis then she's lucky! She doesn't mind me golfing 1 or 2 times a week! She actually encouraged me to buy the unlimited range balls at local range for the summer, too!

BGE89 14 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Been with my gf for 3 years and the first summer I played a fair amount of golf, but not my usual amount and she accepted it. Last summer it was a very big issue and I had an awful year and my handicap went up and tournament results were just awful. At the end of the year I explained that golf is something I am passionate about and she understands that I am excessively competitive. Told her I won't be sacrificing my game to appease her this summer. We shall see how this year play out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrWellingtonINC 62 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I told the girl im dating within a few dates "I will golf until im old and physically incapable, and if you have a problem with that, we won't be together long enough for me to prove that to you."... Basically stay on your toes and don't get in-between me and golf because I'll choose golf every time.
