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.

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

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
