I do not think your life is over...but....it will be different. My little girl is almost 2 now and we are working on potty training....so I spend a great deal of time in the bathroom. Long story short, the piece of advice I will give you is to remember that sometimes when you are debating about whether you can play golf, your wife may make you feel you are being selfish for wanting to play. Just remember that while it might make you feel guilty, you are still a good person and wanting at least a little time where you can get away is normal. Good luck with everything and enjoy it.

My daughter is now 9 months and I haven't noticed a change in my golf life. Now that I think about it tho, this is probably because I was working full time and getting an MBA full time at the same for the two years before my daughter was born. Still, I play at least once a month with range visits 2-3 times a month. I did buy a range mat so I can keep my swing loose while at home (no net tho).

Twins may complicate things, but during that first the baby sleeps most of time (16hrs or more per day). My wife and I take turns doing our hobbies.

I hope to play more this summer, but we'll see.

I woke up this morning and out of nowhere my wife suggested that I renew my annual pass at our local muni!  I definitely did not see that coming.  She said the thought came to while feeding the babies at 3am.

The kids are 4 weeks old and I've played twice since they were born. On Sunday I take the feeding shift that typically comes around 5am and instead of going back to bed I head out to the course.  When I get home I take the kids for the rest of the morning and let her sleep away.  Its worked out so far.  Just need to fit a little range work in on Saturday.

I'm going to by the pass on my way home from work before she changes her mind.

I like the way your wife thinks at 3am!

I hope my wife thinks clearly at 3am when our lil dude enters this world later this year.

My wife was not so clear at 3am. In fact most likely the opposite.

    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
