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!

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
