Evening Romeos, so got Friday and Monday off, was scheduled to goat with hid but never got round to booking anything. Got a medal on Saturday and have previsionary booked 7am rounds for both Friday and Monday. I due for a friendly game on Sunday as well. So dinner cooked and desert served up, I've dropped the bombshell that I'm playing Friday am, as she was in a good mood I've got away with it! Need to plan my announcement regarding Monday still! This got me thinking , how do you justify your golfing habit with your other half? This excludes anyone over 50 who can get away with previous generation rules!
 
I normally say "well i need to play this week as i cant make x weeks time due to a/b/c going on". Then hope everything falls through and she doesnt remember!

I've also started to encourage her to go out one or 2 nights in the week in anticipation of midweek rounds after work in the summer.

If i told her i was playing 4 days on the spin she'd string me up by the stones!
 
Sunday will be - I've just set up a regular game and I'll be letting them done, not good as havnt been a member for long.
Monday - dad is s/e and havnt played a round with him for a month aka be good to spend some quality time!
Think I'll be taking her to lunch on Friday and drop it after the bill has been paid. To be fair all rounds except medal are before 8am so it's not unreasonable, is it?!

I normally play bounce games first thing in the morning aswell. Then i can, legitimately, say i'll be back at lunchtime and we can do something then.

In my mind that something is stick on sky sports and sit on my fat backside but never turns out that way!
 
Never had a problem. HID is happy for me to play as much as I like. What a great wife I've got and her valentines day meal cheered me up no end too. Shame Clint Dempsey has gone and spoilt it all
 
If I'm playing a friendly I can start at 7ish and can be home at 10.30/11am - this is not usually a problem as most of the day is still ahead of us. Problem arises when playing comps when I dont usually start until 8.30am and then its a 4-5hr round and then in the club house for a beer and presentation afterwards. Sometimes not home till 3pm! and this screws the whole day up for the other half.

Normally play just the 1 day at the weekend and make sure I do something nice with the wife and kids the other day. Roll on summer when I can play before and after work!!
 
Maybe I'm lucky I don't know but I never feel the need to justify my golf to the missus. She's happy for me to play every Saturday morning and once midweek after work and will try to arrange other things outside that time but knows if something needs to be done then I'll play another time. If there's a Sunday comp I won't normally play Saturday unless there's nothing else on then she doesn't mind.

She knows how frustrated I get if I can't play golf and how desperate I am to get to single figures - it was her idea to use my xmas bonus to join Royal Ascot in order that I could play more.

As far as I see it it's a bit of give and take, I know she's happy for me to play golf every week and she knows I won't take the p!ss. All my golf comps go on the Calendar months in advance and if there's a clash we discuss it. I never book any golf outside of the norm without checking with her it's ok, that way we both know where we stand.
 
I'm also lucky in that my missus doesn't mind me playing every Friday afternoon/Saturday morning. However I do have to make the occasional weekend sacrifice - like next weekend - taking her to the outlaws. Might take the clubs though I've heard Sandown & Shanklin isn't too shabby.
 
In the main I do as I like, this may change with a baby on the way. My wife likes that I play golf, she likes that I have something that is not indoors and that is not getting messed up at a party or friends house. If I play golf she gets a nicer happyer Alex to live with. Her family all play so it is something that she is used to and understands.

Bottom line is its wholesome and thats what we want in our lives. She tried to play but her boobs are too big and she cant get her arms round them :eek: :D.
