My wife is due with our first any time now.  I've already played a lot less this year than previously and I'll essentially be giving up golf for a year so she can stay home for the entire first year of our kid's life rather than doing day care and such.  I purchased a few frequent player cards and some cheap rounds via Groupon and such so I at least have a few rounds saved up for late summer and early fall.

I'm in the same boat, I've told my wife the more I golf the less likely I will be "begging" for sex, she's all in......

Congratulations on the new addition to the family and good luck with you new job.  Hopefully you'll still be able to squeeze a couple of rounds in here and there.

I reduced my cart usage this year.  I wanted to commit to walking at least 9 holes per week and so far have pretty much done that. Walking has made me feel better and savings on cart rental basically makes every 3rd round free!

Ahhh, the old, "Golf course or intercourse?" question.  Works like a charm (golf-wise) a majority of the time.

I guess I'm fortunate that I don't have to give up any material goods to play golf, but I won't sacrifice my family time for it.  I schedule my golf in around the times that the kids and wife are doing other things.   Earlier in their lives I had to sacrifice time with them to establish my business, but now I realize that nothing is more important than family and certainly not golf.

I gave up my YMCA membership to join the local golf club.  I also gave up working in the evenings.  I also watch far less TV now (but what I do watch is typically the Golf channel).  I solved the family time problem by teaching my wife and kids to play.  I've been trying to give up my job to play golf, but I don't think that would go over too well.

Sleep.  My wife is cool, and I get the "hall pass" to play pretty much whenever I want... but with two kids under 2, and a pretty hectic work week, the only time I really get to play without intruding too much into things is early in the morning on the weekend.  Getting to the course, warming up, playing, then driving home can be a 5+ hour affair, and taking up that kind of family time in the middle of the weekend isn't good, so I like to be one of the first tee times out so that we can avoid traffic, play fast, and I can be back just as the day is really starting at home.

I gave up my first wife! She gave the ultimatum play less golf or we were through....I left!

If my current wife tried that no sex thing then I guess we would just be roommates. We have a 7 year old, and a baby on the way, the new baby won't affect my golf game any more than the first one did.

I guess you could say I "give up the cart" to walk and pay less money but I think I would do that anyway as I always play alone. Plus, walking 9 holes at my home course is a whopping 5 bucks. Luckily, I don't have children or a lady to cut back on my golf time-- No offense to anyone who does but I'm a bit of a loner and I, currently, like it that way. :) "First, I was a one man wolf pack"

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
