i've taken my girlfriend of 5 years to the range with me every time. Her swings there indicate that she would be better suited as a cart driver but shes a great golfing partner!

oh yeah, i took my girlfriend out golfing on our first date. it was a blast, and it was fun teaching her. you know, the typical "wrap your arms around her and swing it for her" drill.

Taken a girl to go out golfing? And it's like one of the hot girls that is going to be terrible, but looks drop dead sexy trying.

There are some girls that look great and can play well. I see them all the time in So Cal!

I took a girl to the driving range once; a girl I hang out with who asked me to take her golfing at some point. By the end of the bucket, she was able to hit the wedge to the 50-yard marker consistently (how many of us wish we could do that?). She was also very excited about the quantity of pink golf apparel available. Don't be one of the guys who treats the girl like his kid and yells about keeping head down and left arm straight and so on. Let her have fun with it and tell her you can answer questions, but won't force a lesson unless she wants it. And if she persists and wants to take up golf, you probably shouldn't be her teacher unless you improve notably. Likewise, I won't teach any of my friends (male or female) golf beyond simple grip and "don't scoop."

Actually had a girl use golf to hook up with me, we worked together and she played a little and suggested we get out some time. So we went out and she was not very good but she sure looked cute trying. She got a big kick out of asking me if she could wash my balls every other hole

There was a girl who worked full-time at a company I was interning at two summers ago. She was a few years older than I am (probably still is), and she played - I don't know how often or avidly. But she took two guys to play at a local executive course (which has since become my primary practice center), but at that time I missed the ball so frequently I would've been embarrassed to join them even if I had been invited. She left the company mid-summer and I have no contact for her. Too bad.

Long story short, awesome and good going dude.

This is actually one of my goals for this season. Find a hot girl girl that i can go golfing with. It just seems like all the good looking girls around here laugh at me when i say im really into golf

My wife would actually finally learn how to play after 12 years of marriage.

Good move! This is my wife's 3rd full season and she's completely hooked, loves it and we have a great time playing together. The only negative side is that my wife measures her success against my game and I've been playing all my life! I think it's a woman's nature to believe they should be WAY better than the game allows, given their newness to the game. Just a tip: We started with a sand wedge and a putter. Once she truely felt the concept of 'hit down on ball, ball flies' she was completely hooked! Then we graduated to range balls. Best thing is that I don't have to beg to go on a golf vacation. Just schedule it and she's standing at the door with her clubs packed! dave

Gosh, I thought I was the only person who had that experience. First time I went to anything regarding golf with my fiancee, she was delighted at all the pink things she could find for golfing. I actually think that's the reason why she keeps playing, to have new pink apparel every year

Same here. I want to play more golf, and at the same time with my girlfriend. So I invested in my game by buying her a set of pink and purple Wilson Hope golf clubs, pink balls, pink tees, pink hat. If it had to do with golf, it was pink. She was absolutely ecstatic and couldn't wait to go play a round with me.

Took her out, and she wasn't actually half bad. Especially after I got her to think of the concept of hitting down on the ball, and hit the ball and the ground at the same time. It also helps me to see her in that tight pink shirt and those lilttle shortie shorts

I was at a BBQ on Sunday and my buddy set up a driving net, and of course everyone hit driver, then maybe the hybrid if it was there third trip to the net. Anyway....After all my fellow meatheads took turns pounding driver. Up steps a 5' 11" redhead with the most fluid swing I had seen all day. Never passed paralell in the back swing, perfect balance, and even posed a little bit on the follow through. She said she wasn't that good and usually shot around 85...Jaw hits the floor at this point...I think I am going ring shopping boyz....

I've been farting around with golf for years, but it seems that all of the tumblers clicked into place in the last couple of years allowing me more time to play and pursue it.

A few months ago, I picked up a set of US Kids Golf clubs for my daughter, who's been bugging me for some (she loves going to golf stores, to putt on the putting green) She also loves to hang out with her daddy and hit golf balls into the net.

Fast forward a few days, and I come home to find my wife, whacking wiffle balls in the back yard with my daughter's 9 iron (pretty funny to see). That Friday night, I take the girls out on a date, and we swing by the Golfsmith, where I pick up the parts to build up a 7 iron for my wife (a nice pink setup(the Viper W), and polished finish, she loves it) I built it up that night, and that was the start. After a few weeks of working on the basics at the house, I took the girls to the driving range. It went on from there. Now she's got all her irons, a good putter, a nice bag, some clothes, and is trying out different drivers and hybrids to complete her set.

Now I take them to the driving range and to play a short 9 holer near the house just about every week.

I won more than once on this one...

  • I get to play more golf
  • I get 'family time'
  • I don't get as much static about buying golf goodies

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
