I have played a couple of rounds (and a company scramble) with my wife.

She liked it, and I like it too! She took some lessons with one of the sister-in-laws, and it worked out pretty good.

She just doesn't have much time for golf, as we still have kids in High School, and "taking care" of the kids has higher priority than mom and dad golfing.

Some day though, she will run out of excuses and/or distractions.

Also, my wife does NOT do pink!

I got a new set of clubs for my wife... GOOD trade huh?

My wife can only play about 9 holes. On our Honeymoon in Cabo, she attempted to play 18 holes but stopped on #11. She gets tired or her hands, fingers, and/or her legs start to ache.

I truly wish she would embrace the game and want to play more often, but she is just simply more interested in shopping, pedicures, MTV gossip shows, the list could go on for days and it doesn't really include golf.

So with that being said, all of the time with instructors was worthless and purchasing the new Foot Joy's to outfits, clubs, etc...are still sitting in the garage collecting mice turds and dust. Until next summer when she gets the itch to go out maybe 2 times.

For now I'll just stick with the boys and not worry about slow play and shanks.

My gf plays sometimes, but I wished I didn't show her how to play because when I play with my friends I feel outcasted when I'm with her... So if I play with her it's usually just us.

my wife actually got me into golf. I always thought of golf as an old man's sport, but she made me try it at the range one day. I was hooked after that. She plays about 3-4 times a week in the summer, keep up with the boys and is better than most of my friends. She'll walk and carry with us, keep up and never slow us down. She's about a 15 handicap on the white (men's tees), and I'm a 9 off the back tees. When we hit good drives, we often end up within a few yards of each other (she'll average about 240 off the tee...can't putt worth a damn).

We'll sometimes play games (skins) to see who does the dishes, takes out the garbage, etc. It's fun and it's a great way to spend time with her. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh yeah, she has a pink Taylor Made staff bag (like Nathalie Gulbis, and a pink Ping Voyage carry bag.) She plays men's Cobra FP irons in reg. steel and a Taylor Made Burner TP with a reg. IROD shaft in it.

My girlfriend and I have been together since February. And during the months that have passed since then, she has now become a HUGE golf fan.

She watches the golf channel, even when im not at home.
She has the biggest crush on Ian Poulter. But really, what girl who follows golf doesnt? Haahah..

She has fully supported my goal to make golf my career, and a way to support us in the future. She keeps on me about practicing, listens to me talk about my day of golf, loves going to the golf stores with me, and lets me watch the golf channel all day every day.

Shes amazing, and these are just a few of the reasons why I am going to marry her.

Soon to be a full time golfer....If things go as planned

I dont know if Im lucky or not but my fiance grew up in a golf family which is how i actually started taking the game seriously but she definitely does not want to go play with me. She has many times but isnt a big fan of it. She has been around it her whole life so I guess golf gets to be my personal time

      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.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
