I have a double whammy here.

#1) My parents bought me a new driver for my birthday. Well it was more my dad getting it. Anyways, it is a old King Cobra, and I honestly can't hit it. It was turned in 3* to fix a slice, and I just fixed mine.. How should I break the news to my dad?

#2) Me and my girlfriends anniversary is coming up this weekend, and she can't do anything the day of the anniversary. So we planned to celebrate the day after. I am playing in a shotgun start event that day, and have been planning on it for about five months.. How do I tell my girlfriend this?..


Thanks guy

1) Ask your dad if he has the reciept... He should understand...

2) umm... might as well just ask, if she says no, then dump her ;b

The driver thing is easily fixed with the receipt. The other thing - if it's not paid for already, then just ditch the golf thing. You'd be bettter off. If it's pre-paid, groveling, dinner and jewelry help. If none of those work, and she gets mad, I suggest internet porn.

#2: Hang out on a different day, or later that night. She should understand, if she doesnt then the future doesnt look bright for you two.

I'm married about a year and a half now. My wife and I's work schedules don't always jive that well, and I know my wife gets pissed when I plan a golf thing when we should be having quality time. It sucks, but it's better than Skinamax and playing in 7 Fantasy Football leagues.

Re: #2: Which plan came first? It sounds like the golf tournament was planned first. Then why did you agree to re-schedule your anniversary celebration for that day? you forget? If so, offer to move it back by a day, or forward two days. Don't try to cancel it completely.

Always be careful when re-scheduling something this important.

Because I forgot I was going to it, as me and my buddies signed up 2-3 months ago, so I forgot the exact day, I got reminded today by my friend, hence the question. I wasn't going to cancel, I just want to know how to break the news to her I want to reschedule it.

Me and my girlfriends anniversary is coming up this weekend, and she can't do anything the day of the anniversary.

You are 17 and you are talking about "anniversaries"? You can't be serious!?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Why not suggest she gets involved with golf, give her a nice present with a bow around it... say an old King Cobra driver :)

I go to thinking about my comment above. My wife would probably want to go golfing with me. A tournament that had been planned out that long in advance would be no problem for her. But then we got married when you were 4, so we've already done all of the cutsie sh!t.

you're 17... 2 years from now you won't even remember who the hell that girl is cuz you'll be too busy bangin drunk chicks in college.

Yeah, but 2 years can be a long time....
