So there I was.……

[haplesshacker]

Just practicing in the garden, with my as yet undiscovered by the wife newish MP600 driver. All was going quite well until she for some reason comes out and wants a go.

She's never interested in the game, but I suddenly could see the "where did this come from" question. So in my mind I'm conjuring up all sorts of possible answers. It's on loan from the Pro shop, to, it's a gift from one of the suppliers.

She has a few swings, and says, "stupid game" and goes back indoors.

Phew!! It would appear that I've got away with it. However. She didn't see the headcover, which she'd realise that she's not seen before. Then the trouble will start.

Mind you. I've had it six months aleady!

A close shave.

Hope you didnt hit your skirt hanging on the washing line ya big jessie

I was considering doing that with a new set of irons off 'rickg' but I then have to explain where £275 has gone too. Then again if I keepnrje clubs in the garage or the back of my car she'd never know and I'd just have to claim the car needed fixing or something!!

Very easy solution to this one Hapless.....As its a driver.....Buy a novelty head cover....one of the John Daly ones...The lion with the multi-coloured main....Shell dig that
She'll not know whether the driver is new or old then

I always use the "I've had it for ages" approach and I'm still alive to tell the tale

That's the reply I get when I ask "Are those new shoes darling?" or "New dress?" So if it works for her....

 

[madandra]

As I have been fortunate to have tested some bits and bobs for GM if the bitter half asks me where I got something that is new I just say I am testing it for GM.

Silly moooooooooo always accepts it.

We are on a hiding to nothing (and I should know after 39 years .. ).

"New dress/top/shoes/whatever darling"..

Response 1 - Yes! Is that a problem???????

Response 2 - No! I've had it/them for ages. You never notice me now days. I try to look nice for you and all you think about is your fricking golf. You ............ etc etc

Can't win

 

[USER1999]

Be fair though Rog, you had a new shoulder, so she's entitled to a new something or other.

Ironically I'm taking the car to the garage later today for a 4 wheel alignment so I suppose they needed new pads and discs...!!!!!

Never in a million years would you object to my so called car needs fixing....

What will be an absolute bugger will be when I get to the garage today and he genuinely says I need new pads and discs.... I'd have to sell the car to pay for them!!

 

[patricks148]

I have a couple of old Mizuno head covers i just stick those on woods, driver etc. Don't think she can tell the difference with irons

Anything you get 'caught' with, just say you borrowed it from me....

You're welcome!

Just don't take it home.
If my missus ever saw the inside of my locker she'd freak.

My get out,IF she sees something new is "i've had to buy a new one as i've given the other to Glenn (son)"
Absolutely guaranteed to get a point

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I've found that the I'm testing it for GM line works the best
