[ASEAN NOW Golf]

Burn baby burn...

[toofarnorth]

And so she should.

[lanng khao]

Had a mate if mines wife drive through the shop window of his favourite golf shop , she's still not out the woods now ..

[Lacessit]

Get another wife, fairly easy here.

[Surelynot]

I would be more worried if she encouraged me to play more often........?

TV has an obsession with this silly game, there are 8 sections on it!

[Denim]

Even if you're driving her mad you'd better putter in her place or iron out your differences.

[wprime]

Easily fixed, store your golf clubs somewhere else.

It's very common to find people who call golf silly are abjectly incompetent when invited to try it.

Well, I did try it, Actually I was    quite good at it.  However, one day I stopped and thought,  if   something from another planet could see me, hitting a little white ball into a hole in the ground,  they would obviously doubt the sanity of us earthlings,  so I stopped.

Yes. Very important to live one's life as if hypothetical aliens are critiquing our every move.

IMO they would be questioning our sanity on other grounds, long before they got to golf. They'd probably start with churches, mosques and synagogues.

I presume they'd find it quaint and charming, similar to the way we find what children say so cute. "Oh look! They think they're the centre of the universe! Get a load of these creation myths, that's the best they could come up with? 555555!"

Yup, there is intelligent life out there........that's why they don't visit!

Nonetheless, it is a silly game...which I'm probably going to take up when I retire, but only so I can flirt with the caddy girls ????

Looking at the "athlete" in the picture, he'd be better off taking up swimming anyways. he could use the same trunks and save some money!

It's also very common to find that people who obsess about golf are abjectly incompetent when it comes to anything else!

[Retiredandhappyhere]

The OP should just give up the wife!

I've got my balls into more than 18 holes over my life, never played on a single course yet.

Isn't that what got Tiger Woods into trouble also ?  And they also say golf is good for your health, hasn't done him much good.

What would these little green men think of you "talking" on line to people you don't know 

about knocking a little white ball into a hole in the ground?

[earlinclaifornia]

No one so far has asked. Why would this hobby be her worry?
