Just had to express my excitement to anyone that understands how much of an accomplishment this is.

This works out well since I am able to hit the range every monday at lunch to offset the crack addiction on the "off" weekends.

Edit:

I just realized from reading this how much my life has changed since getting married.

Nice! Now tell her that she needs some down time too. Tell her to call a friend or two and take a girls night out. Pretty soon you'll be playing every week!

The little man has definitely changed the way I "declare" my schedule.  Once he is a bit older and more self-sufficient (only 4 months old now) it may be easier for me to get out more often but for now I will take what I can get.

It doesn't help that we live in a top 5 of the most expensive cities in the country (Stamford, CT) and having a baby is not cheap so spending 60$ a month on greens fees is a lot more convincing than $120+.

Keep Calm and Chive On!

Only problem with this is that she doesn't have a lot of girl friends (she works at a certain major wrestling company which will remain nameless) and works around a lot of guys that have become her buddies.

I'm sure I'll find a way soon enough to extend my playing time.  For now, I'll just watch the Golf Channel so much that she begs me to get out of the house just to make it stop.

In another 4 months it gets a lot worse. They are so much easier to take care of when they can't move. But yeah if you play it right in 10 years you will have a partner on the course and taking care of the kid means playing golf. At least that is my plan if I can make it another 5 years

Patience.

You've only got 4-5 more years, and then she'll beg you to take your child with you to the course every weekend.

I take the 5 yr old to the range with me all the time. We hang around the short game area. I actually get in some practice.

This makes no sense to me.   I don't understand the whole "Married with kids=Can't play golf" concept. I can understand why it might not be a good idea to tee off at NOON on the weekend, play a 5hr round, spend 1-2hrs at the 19th hole, and be gone all day!!  OK.....can see how that can be a problem, but it's more about proper scheduling and common sense than it is anything else.  As a person married 20yrs with kids, I do not relate to the above posts in the slightest.  I have always played at least 4 times a week!

My advice:

Play early on the weekends and be home before NOON.  ..............and what wife isn't happy to get their husband out of the house two weekday evenings too?  Seriously....I don't comprehend where these people are coming from....it's as if they are required to be in same room with their spouse 24/7 seven days a week or something.  That's just plain crazy.....unless $$ is the real issue. IE....money is tight and it's either you have the money to buy diapers or play golf.

I completely see your point Buckeye....but every marriage is different.  My wife loves me and supports my sporting activities but there is a difference (to her) between a 2 hour soccer game in which she can come and watch (with the baby) and a 3-5 hour excursion at the course while she is at home with the infant.  It is not a pressing issue in my eyes because I know that we will come to an understanding as soon as we get a rhythm going.

This is merely the first step towards getting back into my golf game.....and I'm quite happy about it.

Haha good for you...now somehow aim for once a week. I need to golf at least once a week to keep myself fulfilled. Don't keep trying to come back for more. She will get angry lol. If you want to keep yourself occupied with golf, checkout my new blog and tell me what you think so far (link below in signature). I'm trying to get it kickstarted

The blog looks good man.  My only feedback (since it is a very new blog) is that you probably don't want to get caught up in repeating information like stats (i.e. Dufner recently became the only other person to have 2 wins this year with his recent win at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. The first person who achieved this was Hunter Mahan) simply because I can find that anywhere.  I, personally, like reading blogs for the opinions and experiences of someone I can relate to.

That's just my $.02.

BTW......anyone else feel the need to stare incessantly at online golf shops to just fantasize about how cool it would be to have more clubs?  I have to do it just to get my "fix".

next year you have to talk her into letting you join a weekly league....then you add the occasional weekend in....THEN next year you play league and every other weekend....THEN the following year you add the extra tee time and BOOM you have enough golf to satisfy your need and your wife doesn't get mad....

Its all about baby steps my friend.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
