Sorry not been around a while folks. Had so many problems logging on since the change. Anyway glad to be back, but 2000 posts to read!!

Back on subject.

It's early days yet, but I (well actually we) have another sprog on the way, to add to our 20 month manic son.

Can't really see how I'm going to get any time to myself for the next couple of years to go and play golf, let alone afford it.

How does anyone manage it, or do I have to accept the inevitable?

IMHO you've only got one real choice. Accept the consequences and shelve all golfing desires for the forseeable. Get out for the odd game when you can. When they're a bit older it gets easier and then you can get back to "work".

Took me 5 years...................

Congrats on the news about being a Dad again.

Pretty sure I couldn't afford a second child and golf so now I sleep in the spare room...

Well done Happy, great news on the baby front.

Like others have said, drop the membership and focus on the new member. I am sure you will have ample invitations from friends at your old club and on here. Instead of playing golf with your spare time you will be looking for a bed to grab some much needed sleep.


If you venture north for whatever reason I will sign you onto Shotts and buy you some lunch

Good for you....congrats.

Do what you can and then buy clubs for yer nippers as a good excuse to get serious again.

 

[OldWindy]

Well done you! If it's any consolation, we have a 2yr old and a 3 month old and, yes, it does get busy but I still manage to play once a week. You need time to yourself when you have small children otherwise you'll go loopy.

Dont curb it, just prioritise!

When ya can if ya can!

Congrats by the way!

Anyone ever take the littluns to the range???

Anyone ever take the littluns to the range???

Nope, long clubs = range, short clubs = practice ground.

I've just started takingmy four year old, he got a set for his birthday (Bag, driver, 5 iron, 7 iron, PW and putter)

They're a tad long for him at the minute but he knows what he is doing and really enjoys it.

It's great when there is golf on the tele and we have visitors. I knows the difference between fairway, rough and green and always surprises everyone when he says 'he hit a wedge onto the green' (granted he thinks all irons are wedges at the minute, but not bad for a four year old)

He watched the US Open play-off with me and when ever he sees Woods on the tele he always asks wher Rocco is and askes if they're best friends!!!

Lol, so funny!

Congrats on the forthcoming arrival Hacker.

Congrats on your good news. Hope you still get time to chat on here and play the game even if it is only once in a while

 

[GB72]

Congratulations. I am sure that you will get the odd round in every once in while.

 

[StuartD]

Congratulations

Our first child, Craig, was born five weeks ago. I have not had time to fart never mind get a game of golf.

I have no idea what i used to do with all my spare time.

Good luck with two!!!!!!

 

[TonyN]

Wrap them up warm in the carry seat, pair of ear warmers (to defend the square driver noise out) and take em the range!

Get a child seat strapped into a golf buggy and away you go, you guys aint commited enough

 

[cm_qs]

Congratulations!

I've got two kids who were only eighteen monthes apart and, if it's any help, having two isn't that much more difficult than having one. The extra workload involved in looking after two young kiddies is offset to agreat extent by the experience you've gained first time round. Yes, you need to do more, but you do it quicker, more easily and with less stress.

You'll still find the time for some golf, i'm sure.
