trouble with her indoors

Dornoch :ears:

Opps sorry, my bad.

I would check with Dornoch if they will be on winter course the dates you are up?

My club go onto winter tee's 2nd week of Oct, they may do as well.

We don't have a choice Patrick. We're doing the special offer with 2 rounds at CS and one at Dornoch with B&B at Dornoch. Flying up on the 18th and back on the 22nd
 
I agree... just tell her that once she's finished cooking, cleaning, shopping, washing, tumble drying, ironing and making herself look nice for you that she's welcome to join you for a round :-)


OR simply go for...

"Darling, if you managed your time a bit better you too would be able to play golf"

Should work well if your sofa is comfy ;-)

I assume that includes putting a bow in her hair and a fresh pinny... (insert roll eyes smiley here)
 
I just play earlyish in the morning then we spend the rest of the day together. She gets a lie in, and a bit of space to do her own thing and really does not mind. Bit of compromise is needed in the week when I go out for evening rounds but she has noticed how fed up I have been with the bad weather so generally, when I get home from work and the sun is out she will actually suggest that I go out for 9 holes whilst I have the chance.

To be honest, when my wife and first met and for the first half of our time together, I was playing rugby so would go out at 11 in the morning and get home absolutely steaming at about 3.00 the following morning then sleep through Sunday with a hangover or be recovering from bruises and injuries. She is far happier now I play golf.
 
This thread has really reinforced my happiness at being single..

When I was married HID would've done nothing but moan at my commitment to the game, however as I took it up to fill the free time I had after our split I have felt like a new person. That said when I have my little ones up for the week from where she moved them to I put the sticks away for the time their here and spend it devoting time to having fun with them.
 
Huh - wimmin! I dragged my good lady and children aged 1 and 4 from one side of England to the other when I got a new job. With young kids; a massive SE England mortgage and loads of work to do on the house that was the end of golf for me for about 8 (yes eight) years - apart from the once or twice a year corporate stuff. That wasn't easy. Was allowed to join my club when my lad was 11 as my missis reckoned it would be a good game for him to play - not that I might like to start up again - oh no!! Anyway - now that I'm playing again and it's costing a kings ransom to do so she's forever shooing me out of the door to play :-)

However, I have since discovered that not all is totally OK on the golf-playing front - and that 'not all' is fixed foursomes. I was collared to play a couple of mixed foursomes comps with a new lady member - by the lady captain - so I could hardly say no. When I told my missis that I was going to spend four hours playing golf with a lady member that did not go down well. And that was exacerbated when I told her that this lady member (in her 40s) was divorced. Ooops. Rather sensitive souls your life partners can be :-( Got another mixed fours coming up on BH Monday - with a divorced French new lady member. Haven't mentioned this yet. Wish me luck.
 
My other half is OK most of the time. Then occasionally out of the blue I'll get an earful for playing too much, regardless of the amount I've been playing :confused:

We had holidays this year, and last year, in Scottsdale so I could play golf whilst I was away. Her idea, not mine !!

I think a lot of it is about perception. I played Sat and Sun two weeks running. First time this year. But that translated to I had played every Sat and Sun for EVER. Offered to show her my rounds on skycaddie website to prove my point.

That didn't go down too well. :(
