| Hi peenpong, hey no dramas. I know what you were saying. and thanks pacificric for sharing your story about your daughter. It's nice to read there are young females interested in the game as I would've thought they'd be more into team sports such as volleyball, netball. |

| When my daughter was young, I brought her to a local golf school which was in the US to a lady golf pro who had organized golf lessons for girls starting at any age, most were around 11-12 years and she had a weekly event after school which started around 3:30pm on Wednesdays where the girls would play nine holes or even a round with each other and socialize. The lady pro had a fairly big following and several of her students had gotten college scholarships later on. She doesn't teach anymore but perhaps there is a similar program in your area. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| phil just read my last post to you and realise it sounds a bit weird I was talking to you as your wife should be talking to you.. When you love someone, you should want them to be happy and allow them to do whatever makes them happy.. (think I had had one too many at the time..) apologies.. |

| phil you are going to wish you never started this thread loving you as a person means loving whatever makes you happy you want to play golf.... i love you.... go and play... you could be dead next week (so could I)... go and play golf I dont have the right to deny you...... |

| lol. oh it's not quite as bad as that, matey. I guess i have a view that it is the basis of a good solid relationship if a man and a woman share the same interests be it sport, music, food, etc. Without it there may well be differnces that arises. At least my spouse in understanding and loving me as a person has tried to learn the intricacies of the game. Credit to her. I reckon I have the best marriage I could ever wish for. |

| Actually Phil I took up the game at 9...just as most of the guys and girls on the PGA did. You will find that she will either like it or not. Plus you are right marriage is about compromise.......,...comp romise by BOTH parties It seems a lot of wives nowadays think that it is ONLY a one way street...they exect the hubby to do all the compromising! Besides that mate if your marriage breaks up because you have the "audacity" to actually want to play golf once a month with your mates...then I would suggest that your marriage is built on a very shakey foundation But mate I'm sure you will work it out. You will do what you have to....just don't complain about what is essentially your own choice in the long run I guess |

| well Phil I hope you manage to get to play as much golf as you would like and keep happy with the missus I also hope you are supporting your friend in his time of need so do your best... You never replied as to who you thought might win The Open |

| Phil.... oh Phil You just didnt read my message to you... Read it and come back with a constructive reply There should be no strife in a marriage If you want to play golf.. then you should be able to play it.. You are not out romancing with someone you are not out getting drunk you are not out wasting your time You are out enjoying some time with friends... the golf course and fresh air For goodness sake read my message.. I didnt write it because I had nothing else to do I was trying to help you.... |

| oh thanks... She is nearly 9 so don't think she has quite reached the age to learn Golf just yet. Anyway she appears more interested in volleyball and team style sports. "under her watchful eye the whole time?!". lol, no it's not as bad as that but getting close! It's not a matter of being "happy enough to go along with her..." Marriage is all about commitment and trust or if you like a compromise. Without it you are in heaps of strife. Also I know a friend whose going through sheer hell in his marriage break up and I would hate to end up like him and his tortured lifestyle. |

| Gees Phil it sounds to me that your wife has more than your golf "balls" in her hands! How old is your daughter? Ever thought of taking her to the golf course with you and see if she likes it? You might be surprised Plus why the hell does vacation time have to exlude golf? What, does she need you under her watchful eye the whole time? Why can't she and your daughter have some valuable mother and daughter time together shopping or at the beach or seeing a chick flick together, while you hit the course? Sounds to me like she is being just a little bit SELFISH! Mind you you seem happy enough to go along with her though, because if you really weren't you would stand up for yourself! |

| Hello Phil How are you? I knew someone many years ago who loved to play golf. He reckoned that his Saturday morning round of golf made him forget, work, home, problems, the world, for that special time of 4/5 hours.. plus a drinkypoo after!!! The fresh air, the walk, the ball, course and you.. together with some good company relaxed him beyond doubt. Thereby making him more apt to do odd jobs on Sunday and making him more relaxed to be with his family. Everybody benefitted from his golf.. So go for it... you must make time for yourself... and whats a few hours? Enjoy! |

| A couple of years ago I had an understanding with my wife that I wouldn't allow golf to ever become a priority over other family hobbies. Since she doesn't care for golf (I have long given up trying to teach her), that's meant that any vacation time (usually twice a year for us) spent together has had to exclude golf. So, other than a monthly Saturday round with my regular group at our local course I've been unable to enjoy playing golf at my leisure or visited most of the other local courses. Since my job in the security industry means that I take a week off here and there I've been forced to take the time off here at home. My wife has to work and my daughter is in school holidays at present. Sure, there are always a million things that need to get done around the house, but that's not going to relieve any stress, is it? So, that leaves golf and maybe some squash too. I've checked out three different clubs, noted each one's weekday specials, organized my calendar accordingly and I'm eager to go. |
