I enjoy the odd round of social golf.

What I particularly like is to play mixed golf, as I get to spend more time with my wife doing something rather than watching television.

Are there any other members who would like to make an informal group for mixed pairs golf ?

I enjoy a good round of golf, unfortunately I'm terrible and in England. I think this is a great idea though and I'm sure it'll be very popular with other members.

Enjoy

After reading this thread Matt, there is no way i'm letting my Mrs near my Golf Clubs

The missus and I would be happy to have a game with you sometime in the new year Matt.

I'm not very good though... and the missus is just a beginner... but unless you're serious about it, it'd be a lot of fun.

With the current cold weather here in the North East dont forget to keep your clubs snug & secure.

Also dont forget what happened to Good old Ron his playing a round days came to a gruesome end.:

My name is Ron......Let me relate how I handled the situation with my

wife, Malee. When I took "early retirement" last year, it became

necessary for Malee to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for

the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I

noticed she was beginning to show her age.

I usually get home from the golf course about the same time she gets home

from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she

has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell

at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she

gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch at Eric's Bar so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home cooked grub when I hit that door...

She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not

unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do

what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening

that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as

it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will

say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills

during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I

just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two

or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much.

I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't

hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my

strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest

periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing

the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix

herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit

for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as

well make one for me too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Malee.

I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men

will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better

than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys,

even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging

wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well

worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other...

Signed,

Ron (from Ozz)

Duncans NOTE: Ron died suddenly Thursday Nov 26th.

He was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II

(golf club) rammed up his backside, with only 2 inches of grip

showing...His wife Malee was arrested, but the all-woman Khon Kaen

Jury accepted her defence that he accidentally sat down on it very suddenly. Names & dates have been changed to implicate the guilty!
