What score would impress your wife?

The score is understands most is a purple one! You get from them machines outside banks! :-)

She will ask what I've done and what I should do and comment you played crap again today!
 
My wife got me into golf in the first place by buying me a half set of clubs for a birthday many moons ago. Like others our conversation post golf is 'Have a good time at golf?'. 'Yes, it was a good laugh'. Then back to the real world. I think she would be impressed if I got a hole in one as that is the only thing she understands!
 
I had no idea what the OH saw in the stupid game, or why his right hand pocket of shorts got filthy whilst left one stayed clean.

Till I took up the stupid game myself.

Now I understand what is hard and what should be easy, and I am impressed by the impressive.

Still a stupid game though....
 
She knew that high 70's was ok and say well done. She knew low 70's was better and would want to know if a cut was coming or if i'd won. Anything 60's and it was down the shop for something to celebrate a great round.

To be honest she was just happy if i'd enjoyed myself as it was supposed to be a hobby. We all know that to truly enjoy ourselves it has to be a decent score.
 
Under 75 I'll get a "well done". Over 80 it's "what went wrong".

Which, excuses for bad weather and wonky greens notwithstanding, is pretty much what I'm thinking anyway...
 
I'm not feeling a lot of love between you lot and your other halfs.

Mind you. My ex couldn't of given a hoot about how I did. I guess the writing was on the wall way back then.

The new girlie however............................................doesn't have a clue.


Good round though James.
 
When I first started playing about 12 years ago I struggled for a long time to break 100 and the stock line from the wife was, "Well at least you get value for your money dear".

Sometimes when I've played bad we just laugh about it!

As I always say, "There are many more things in life to worry about". So I always enjoy my golf.

:thup:
 
By the time I've explained my approach to the first green, my par at the second and duff drive at the third followed by a brilliant 3 iron to 4 feet and birdie putt she is begging me to shut up - and she is a good golfer she just doesn't play. When she does she will be 2 under for three holes and say something like "can we go to the pub now?"
 
I made a big mistake by finishing my ex as she enjoyed going the range as took her a couple of times when started getting back into it and when I speak to her from time to time always asks how the golf is and she would like to try it again. Let a good one go or what haha Now the new one asks how it went and then says you have been out all day playing golf take me for dinner or lets go the pub. Trying to get her to play but not happening. She has came the range twice but ends up going to get a coffee and that. Once I talk about how I played or look at this bag etc she doesn't care and just says yes lovely.
 
Answer -- NOWT

Had a HOLE IN ONE today, she still tried to whinge, even though I returned armed with a Chinese Takeaway.....they just dont get us golfers........
I have to say I hope my wife never shows an interest in Golf or even tries to understand me as a golfer. Golf is me time, if I have a good round or hit a good shot then I might tell her about it but the last thing I want is her to understand and then decide one day that she wants to come and play a round with me....4 hours of questions and nagging. Sod that!
