A golf widow and loving it!

People often refer to me as a golf widow and I suppose that they are right.

Over the years my husband has had his many days out there playing golf and I suppose that makes me what is known as a golf widow.

It seems his great passion for golf was apparently all my fault too!!

Years ago it was me that brought home a shabby looking set of golf clubs that a friends husband was chucking out. Up until then he had shown no interest in the game whatsoever, but I would often see him down at the bottom of the garden swinging these old golf clubs and probably dreaming that he was Tiger Woods.

Anyway one day my brother also a keen golfer invited him for a friendly game of golf at our local municipal course.

That was it I suppose. No going back, he was smitten by the game.

From then on almost every Christmas and birthday it was always a golf related gift that he wanted. The golf clubs were gradually upgraded and then came the electric golf trolley. This had to be a decent one which also applies to the rest of the gear that has been accumulated over the years. Golf equipment I’ve found is a very personal thing. Whatever brand is a favourite for one is not always the same for a fellow golfer. But once after finding their favourite maker the golfer usually tends to stick with the same one. That appears to be my experience anyway.

Finally, yes I admit I am a golf widow and I love it!

It meant that I was able to do as I wished and not always had to be in each others pockets all the time.

I really beleive that independent hobbies are a healthy way to go and I would encourage couples to do their own thing. I have seen too many friends who drive each other up the wall mainly because they have no time to themselves.

Also first and foremost this golf hobby has been a great way of keeping healthy plus enjoying the company and companionship of like minded people and this can only mean that my second hand gift was a brilliant idea!
