HID

I am very lucky, i can play both saturday and sundays, i play at 7am and that suits us fine, im back by midday and can do whatever we want then. All i'm giving up is a lie-in.

I play wednesday evenings too. She plays Netball Weds. so its cool.
 
HID has no problem with me golfing or being involved in coaching hurling, which is still my favourite sport.
We met 27 years ago and she accepted that i was a sportsman and never interfered with my sports or training. I suppose when i am playing or training she knows where i am. She has her intersts and i have mine and that IMHO is the recipe for a successful relationship.
 
I'm quite lucky that HID doesnt mind me playing golf most weekends. All she asks is that i have the odd 1 off for special events like partys. My daughter plays aswell so i get away with a bit more than i would as i take her out to practice aswell. But as we have another baby on the way (i found out on fathers day) i have been warned i'm going to have to cut it down abit when the baby comes.
 
45 years old, married for very nearly 20 of them. I do what I want. I play up to 5 times a week, come and go as I want. No kids, which I guess helps. Mrs Mog plays tennis (alot), gyms (alot), runs marathons, and generally does her own thing. I guess if there's a down side it's that in the winter I am in, and she's still out. That said, I should be down the gym too.
The other downside is one evening we worked out her tennis costs up to 15 grand a year. She was stunned at how cheap my golf is.
 
Omg reading these makes me realise how understanding hid is. I am 29 and play every sat and sun and at least once during the week. She must be an understanding wife or she is friends with the milkman. :-)
 
I am OK playing once a weekend and if I have a few brownie points stocked up (meal with the inlaws normally gets a good few) then she is happy with me playing twice. We both work long hours so do not see each other much during the week so it is important to make time at the weekend.

If I have time then my wife is fine with me spending a bit of time up the range

To be hones, she is just happy that I have stopped playing rugby. I would leave in the morning and not get back until the following morning normally a little worse for wear and I was normally so bruised and hungover the next day I could do nothing.
 
I am wondering if this forum is full of men or mice......it appears the majority need to be passed the cheese!!

Bunch of dweebs,tell her when you are playing and tell her when to expect you home plus 4 hours....works every time when I say 4am and appear home at midnight.
 
Well it's nice to see that im not the only one who gets ear ache for playing golf!! :D

Im 33, work mon to fri 9 to 5 so dont really get chance to play during the week unless I take an afternoon off which occasionally I do to enter the midweek Stableford. Usually have a range session on Friday night. Play at least once on a weekend, and if the Mrs is working on the day I dont have a comp then obviously I will go for another game.

I always find the offer to take her shopping when you get back from your round is a bit of a sweetener that tends to work (although sometimes a little expensive!)
 
mine is very understanding

i tend to only play competitions at weekends as i sometimes work at weekends, do play loads in the week as i finish work at 2 and wife doesnt get home till 6. she likes to sleep in at weekends so she doesnt mind if i go golfing as long as i live quietly
 
No probs here. She asks me what I've got on at the start of every month and i let her know all the comps booked in.

If I don't have a comp I'll play on Saturdays as my wife takes my daughter dancing and for a day out with her friends. Then we will have Sunday together.

I work from home so get to see them both a fair bit during the day so a bit of time away to myself on the golf course is fine.

Love Dodger's post!! So brave that he's got to lie to his wife to play golf!!! Squeak....squeak :D :D :D :D
 
28 myself and been living with my g/f now 4 years..

I play both sat and sun :)

She heads shopping with her mum and sisters every sat so i can play anytime i like.. just as long as i am back around tea time which is fair enough..

Sunday i try to get up around 10am (she likely still in bed) this way i am finished up just after lunch time.. by which time she is up at her mums and dads house for sunday dinner.. and comes home again around 3pm, so of course i am back in the house washed and changed.

Job done :D
 
I'm quite lucky at the moment. Me and the wife don't have kiddies just yet and I work 12 hour day shifts. So after 4/5 days on I have 4/5 days off. She works 9-5 mon-fri so on my days off I can play golf as much as I want as long as the house is quite tidy and we don't have a mountain of washing.
Even on a night when she's back home I can go play but only once or twice at a push. Generally we arrange things so of she's at aquafit I'll go play golf.

I think I'm very lucky to be fair.
 
so after reading this thread how do a wangle this.

Saturday i have the following planned:

Breakfast and 18 at one course
lunch and 18 at another course

this has caused me to give up this months medal which based on current form is a good thing im sure, but im kinda gutted i gotta miss this months medal... need to wangle sundays medal lads...
 
My wife has always been 100% supportive of my golf. She understands a man needs his hobby whatever it be (fishing,darts,tinkering with cars) etc

I try to play comps at weekends if i'm not wkg. I will always ask if it's ok to play and she always says yes cos she realises the season is so short and that the bad weather will be back soon enough. Then she has to put up with me moping about the house cos its too frosty to play golf :D
 
2 months down the line from calling off the engagement and kicking her out all I can say is bachelorhood is awesome again!

Play and do whatever I want, whenever I want!

If you have kid(s) then you have to be fair with your time. Whilst you don't then at least 1 round per weekend minus exceptional circumstances should be more than acceptable. Key is have the situation sorted from day 1 and don't start backing down in an effort to keep them happy. It's a slippery slope and as soon as you do, you are doomed!
