Advice To Golf Widows

1) Is your husband/boyfriend a huge golfer?
2) Does your weekend revolve around his golf schedule?
3) Do you determine where you're going on vacation based on a golf course, or a PGA event?

If none of the above apply, please don't ever, I mean ever, complain about how much golf he plays...because you don't know the half of it. haha, just teasing.

If you said yes to any of the above I feel your pain ;)

Regardless of whether they apply or not I have some advice for all you "golf widows"

***When you talk to your husband and he's golfing don't yell at him because he's golfing***

If you think girls are the only ones who "gossip" with their friends, you're wrong. Guys do too...on the golf course! Not the same extent, or nearly as much as a couple of girlfriends having lunch, but there's definitely talk here and there. If you yell at him because he's playing golf, his buddies can hear you. And even if they can't hear you they know something's wrong because he was playing awesome on the first 9, and all of a sudden (after talking to you) he's rushing through and shanking every hit. The other 3 guys are going to notice how you like to call and get mad at him...and they wont think you're very nice. And then do you know what will happen? Next time you call while he's golfing, he wont tell you he's golfing! That's right, he'll lie to you! Because who wants their wife/girlfriend mad at them? They most certainly don't!

Here's my situation, my husband tells me before he goes out to the golf course. If I need him to come home before he does! If I don't I'm more than happy for him to go hit a few balls after a long day at work. 

However, he does NOT come home and then go to the golf course. No, no, that doesn't work! That's when I feel resentful toward golf.

Do what works for you. Maybe you want him to come home first. If that's the case, let him know that, and let him know why. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige. 

...if you need to work on your communication skills with your significant other start with golf. It may surprise you how other things fall into place...

Moral of the story:

Don't yell at him while he's playing golf with his friend, and

Don't lie about playing golf!
