Will you give up golf??

[vkurup]

On my drive back after an average 9 hole, had the radio on. The question being discussed was
'Will you give up your job or fav hobby if it interferes with your relationship even if you love what you do'. As expected most callers were kind of ok with giving up a job.

No golfers dialled in. But it is an interesting question... Will you give up golf if it interferes with your relationship?

No fear of that with my other half anyway...She loves me playing...Add to that we've a 5 year old boy who is nuts on the game also..So its a great excuse for me to get out and practice with him......
I dont drink or smoke so golf is really my only love and social outlet.....

So i think im safe for the foreseeable future....:whoo:

I did give the game for 14 years, my kid came first, but now he's flown the next and independent, i'm out on the course whenever times permits :fore:

No to OP, but if i carry on as i am doing , everything might end up thrown in the river.That "relationship" would then be over.

Wife likes me playing... Been together 21 years, I don't think we will be splitting up whatever.

 

[Andy]

No. I golfed before the relationship started and always will.

A relationship was the reason I hardly played golf for 35 years.

I think its really sad if you have to give up something you love doing if it means your relationship ending.

Before i started to play rugby i use to play golf alot, i remember the time i played every single day for a whole week. It then clicked on that maybe im playing too much and that my other half was a bit pee'd off with it. And i put myself in her shoes and thought yes i have been playing too much.

I think in a relationship you should come to an agreement to how much you can play as it could easily cause break ups but if you love each other that much then you should come to a fair agreement.

Everyone needs there me time and time with thier mates as long as its not too much!!

Im lucky with the shifts i work i can go play whilst other half is at work so it doesnt effect me. But when it comes to weekends i can play every other weekend so the weekends im not playing is our time together

A relationship works best when both parties allow each other to have a life of their own as well as the one they share.

If I was with someone I cared enough for then Yes.

 

[CMAC]

its a poor relationship if there is no empathy or support to the others individual likes and desires..........within reason of course:smirk:

 

[Hobbit]

If it was a case of her asking me because she wanted to see more of me, no. But if it was a case of her being ill and needing me, golf would be gone in a heart beat.

Sums it up in a nutshell for me right there...

I'm the same as you. She has no issues with me playing or practicing and she has her own interests (cooking, gardening etc) and after 21 years she knows I'm not giving up anytime soon. She cleans my gear for me as well so I'm doubly blessed

 

[G1BB0]

No! I am a selfish pig. I gave up footy when I got to a decent level because of the ex (kids mum). Will never happen again!

 

[Fader]

I took up golf when I split up with the ex because I had so much spare time, and now i'm with a lovely young lady that encourages my hobbies as she knows when I'm out on the course she has her own time as well. She has absolutley no interest in golf and it bores he senseless but knows I lve it so whenever it comes to special occaisions she asks what i want and goes and buys it! :thup:

I gave up a lot of taekwondo and BJJ session because my ex complained I was out training to much and all it did was force us to spend to much time together so won't be giving up anything else. Its healthy to have your own interests even if they aren't shared interests.

 

[Siren]

If it actually came down to it then yes.

I could live without Golf, couldnt live without the wifes cooking.

 

[Wayman]

I wouldn't give up golf

But if free time together is at a premium then I think it would be quite understandable to be asked to give up something that takes up so much of a day.
