Life is quite general, I would say "wife" ... Ever since I have had her my golf has been hard work, it's like I made a packed with someone and sacrificed my good golf as part of it..... I did not ever knowingly make such a dumb deal, good golf is the secret to eternal happiness. Wealth and love are just aspirational disappointments waiting to happen due to their unknown baggage, both can be enjoyed but good golf more ...

Thanks, that doesn't seem anywhere near the amount of time that some others on this forum are putting in. Putting personal ability aside, quality of practice must play a huge part

It depends on the person obviously. I don't think I could get better by practising more, I'd just get bored and lonely.

For example, this Saturday I spent an hour and a quarter pitching from various distances, then 15mins chipping. 45mins on the putting green with an alignment mirror. 30 balls or so with the driver, 15 mins in the sand. I would usually play in the afternoon, but was in the medal on Sunday so went home for brownie points instead.

Practice (most) what you are bad at. But then judging what you're bad at isn't always obvious.

I think we can close the 'Husband of the year' competition now as this poster has it sewn up.

The bit I have highlighted sounds like a Morrissey lyric.
