I have really gotten into this game this year. I figure that my wife should play so I bought her a set for Xmas. I got her something else so don't worry.
Luckily my wife grew up playing golf with her dad, so when I get her new golf stuff for christmas she likes it. I got her jewelry too, so the golf stuff is just icing.
I have really gotten into this game this year. I figure that my wife should play so I bought her a set for Xmas. I got her something else so don't worry.
Has anyone tried this strategy?
all i can say is" i really hope you got her something else really nice!" but, if she does like the clubs, you are golden!
She kinda got interested on her own so she decided to go to the range with me. After about a half bucket in mid july heat she had enough. She still likes to swing the club in the yard and ask me if she's doing it right. I just reply yeeees.
You figure your wife should play? Bwaaahahhh..........
I'd like the same thing too. I was a bit more modest giftwise though. Her stocking stuffer is Penicks 'For All Who Love the Game - Lessons and Teachings for Women'.
She's a reader and I'm a longshot player. Let us know how she likes her gift.
I'm a golf Mom. Yes, my hubby and child have both tried to convince me this is a game I'd love. Nope...sorry...I've hit a few balls, oh the joy..insert sarcasm..and promptly returned to riding my horse. This is their hobbie/sport. not mine. I enjoy watching and yes, you just can't beat hanging out at the club house.
My wife is not golf minded at all,but said that she would drive the cart for me while I played,but hasn`t gone out yet(6yrs).She does see to it that I get new golf balls yearly and does get me a club now and then(driver,putter hybrid)for birthdays,etc.I feel pretty lucky to have her after 20yrs with a wife that didn`t want anything to do with golf or me to do with it also. I`m glad to be back to playing again.
No wife here (only 19) but my girlfriend isn't really interested in golf. I'm just glad she doesn't mind me golfing. I have already told her that this next year that i'll be out on the course more than this year, and she is fine with that. I'd love it if she got into the game, but I'm not going to force her into it.
Mines not really interested either. Actually, I catch a little grief here and there when I go play because "I don't tell her ahead of time, I just go" (but then its okay for her to go to her sisters house for a few hours and call me 'after' she's there). Don't want to get started on that one
If she ever did pick it up, as I've mentioned on another thread we'd probably have a harder time finding her some clubs - she's left handed and 5'4".
Tried, but failed. She's been to the range twice with me and hit a few wedges, but she just hates it. She hates it even more that I wont let her hit the "big one." I don't want a big sky mark on my driver, sorry. lol
I got married again last May. My girlfriend had been living with me a couple of years when we did the deed. I told her when she moved in, "I play golf. I don't mean I go out every once in a while and knock it around. I am serious about it and unless it is snowing or lightning, you will find me on the course unless I am working. Now, my EX-wife used to gripe about my playing all the time and I told her not to make me make a choice."
She went, "Oh, I see how it is." And it has never been a problem since. If it was, then I would be single...period!
Well, I got my husband playing golf. It helped that he was open-minded about it, has a good attitude and doesn't take things too seriously.
With women, I think part of the problem is that many of us may be actively socialized away from it when younger, or at least not encouraged-- I suppose if I weren't such a tomboy and weren't encouraged, I probably wouldn't golf, fish, watch football, play video games, or other stuff I love. Trick may be, getting 'em to try it, and encouragement to give it a fair shake. The clubs may be a good way to start. Also, I would think cute golf clothes, shoes, and accessories might help out too. Plus, a few pro lessons; let them get started out on the right foot.

I guess I'm lucky. My wife knew I was a golf addict before we were married, so she expects it and understands when I'm at the course 5 days a week. lol
