Just curious how many out there have girlfriends or wives that golf? If so do you like golfing with them?

My wife has gone to the range with me twice before in the past.  Yesterday, though, she tagged along when I went to a par-3 course nearby and now she's hooked.  Now she wants clubs and lessons.  Looks

No, but I just found out that a girl I liked in college plays semi-frequently at one of my favorite courses.

I'm inclined to stay out of my partners' way during a round, maybe offering practice suggestions afterwards if they ask. I'd do the same for a girlfriend who played, I guess.

good stuff... nice to know some people have their priorities in order.

My wife of course DOES golf, and is getting better every month... this will be her third year. She has already taken three golf trips with me. I can't wait for twenty five years down the road when all we do is golf and travel together.

My wife took it up right after me for fear of becoming a *golf widow*. The positive is that I have a designated driver each week. The negative is that she already outgrew her little pink set and had to get a new set of irons for her birthday. She still has to learn to play it hole by hole - she gets way too upset over a bad shot and it can affect her whole game. I figure she will be a plus in our first best ball tournament in 2 weeks - with her driving from the reds.

That is awesome.

That's awesome too, but for a different reason. My mom played as a teenager with her dad, and has gone to the range with me a few times. She says she wants to play in her retirement, and when she does, I'm going to give the irons I have (SGI, below) that she loves and hits straight.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
