So how much does your other half know / care about your round?

[TWM]

Smiffy,
I take it you will not be trading her in like golf clubs.
Lucky man.

My other half does golf, if infrequently. She watches golf on the telly. Infact she probably watches more live coverage than I've been manageing to recently.

I do get the question did I win. Usually not, though occasionally I do. She does listen & does understand what I'm on about, though some things do occasionally need further explanations for her to understand, but she's certainly interested to know.

Though as often as not all I really want to do when I get home from a round is something else, or sit & watch some coverage on telly.

My wife has no interest in anything sporting. She does enquire how the game went, did i play well.

She is happy when i return with a prize either from the club or the society outing.

 

[USER1999]

Mine has stopped asking if I played well as she now knows the answer is nearly always no. She also knows that if I played well, I will probably say so, so no need to ask. She is happy for me to play, when ever I want, as long as I don't moan when she is out playing tennis. (bear in mind this is an indoor sport now, so she can still play evenings in the winter, when I can't). All in all, we both do our own thing, and neither is that interested in a blow by blow account of the recent tennis/golf match. A simple did you win, is enough.

Hi mate,

she could'nt care less, more interested in eastenders and when I am going to do the chores.

 

[GB72]

My wife does show some interest (though I suspect this is more to check what mood I will be in for the rest of the day as opposed to a general concern about the quality of my game). She is happy to listen to the odd shot description on the rare occasion that I play really well.

That said, she is happy for me to play every saturday without complaint so I am more than happy (though part of me suspects that she thinks that if I gave up golf I would get my rugby boots out again and she would hate that)

 

[andiritchie]

The other half plays and is always interested how i get on

The only gripe i have with here is that she does not like cleaning her clubs and since she has MX19s now with the big undercut cavity iam slaving over cleaning 2 sets now

Fair play though i do the clubs she does the dishes

 

[Cernunnos]

Yeah, its odd how I end up having to clean & maintain two sets of equipment now she plays too. that goes for everything too not just the irons, even cleaning he shoes & changing her cleats when they wear down.

I even have to suggest to her what club she's going to need for shots. So I end up being caddy too.

 

[andiritchie]

Not just me then.

I planning to clean them in the bath when she is in,dont think it will go down too well though

 

[Basher]

When I get home after a round, the missus normally asks (as is her duty) how I got on.

I then embark on an in depth narrative recounting almost every shot played during my round, generally going into infinite detail about the finer shots played.

I normally observe a glazed expression not dissimilar to a hard core drug users! At this point I know she's lost interest.

 

[viscount17]

mine's improving. she's gone from total disinterest to still no real interest in the outcome of a game but she was totally understanding of my excursion to Goswick and has already said she would have no problems with a repeat.
We have a week's 'not going anywhere, just not working' holiday at Easter, and she has suggested I fix up a game one day and she has also suggested I take my shoes when we go to Fuertaventura in June 'just in case'.
