The grips important but so is the arc of the swing, the feet of course must be firmly planted on the ground with no heal lift during the back swing,concentration is also important,patience and control of ones temper.

All these skills are easily converted into the dating world and women should realise that the attributes to become successful at the sport at any level are attributes that are much sort after by serious women.

Having only ever dated one passionate golfer, I don't believe he had a better grip on our relationship than a non golfer would have had.
He did, however, have a good grip on his equipment.
He had a home gym.

Sounds like when at golfing range with my boys....the first to hit the buggy driving around picking up the balls!

Too funny, Jewels!

I find the occasional ball in my backyard. Which is rather ridiculous, seeing as the only way to hit my joint is by teeing off at 90 degrees to the tee-block i.e. a deliberate shot at the house. Beats me - they can't get that lil white ball into the 'cup', but hitting a two-storey house seems to be a challenge.

I'll have to devise some kind of 'golf-ball cannon' some day so I can fire them back over - see if I can get them all jumping... LoL... :)

Wife: If I die before you, do you think you'll ever be in another relationship?
Husband: I'm not sure, but I'd probably try. That's what you would want for me, wouldn't you? To move on...keep going?
Wife: Yes, I suppose that would only be fair. Would you marry again?
Husband: I guess if she could fulfil my life half as much as you have my dear, I'd be silly not to, don't you think?
Wife: Of course. You know I'd wish only the best for you. Would you bring her home to this house?
Husband: Well, I wouldn't be able to afford a new place now. Besides, it would still be 'our house', wouldn't it?
Wife: Yes. That sounds reasonable too. But there is one thing I am still a little concerned about. You wouldn't let her use my golf-clubs would you?
Husband: Don't be silly darling - she's left handed!

I just had to share this one with you guys, any golfers out there....well it made me chuckle....hope you do to.....

(MAN WRITING TO ADVICE COLUMN for some help......)

'Guys,

I have never written asking for your help before, but I really need your advice.
I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with 'the girls' a lot recently although when I
ask their names she always says, just some friends from work, you don't know
them.' I try to stay awake and look out for her when she comes home, but I usually
fall asleep.

Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just did not want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to finally check on her.

Around midnight, I hid in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with 'the girls. ' When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.

It was at that moment, crouching behind my golf clubs, that I noticed a hairline crack where the grip meets the graphite shaft on my 3-wood.

Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro-shop where I bought it????

regards
Joe'

have a lovely arvo all...jewels

Golf is a great game. There are those of us who really get the bug and those who enjoy it but don't suffer from withdrawal if they miss a weekend. Then there are those who think it is boring and I wonder why they are on this community blog???
I don't know whether golfers have a better grip on relationships or not but you can't beat the after game debrief at the19th hole :)

J.L @ 8.12.
Haha yes this might be like a recycle bin but but rest assured your paintwork looks as good as ever

I would actually like to play golf but I am hopeless, actually worse than hopeless. I can play tennis, not too bad with squash, can ride horses but golf and me don't mix. That little white ball grows legs when I am about to hit it and jumps out of the way, just no good at it so took the hint and don't want to stuff up anyone elses game. I need to learn to speak another language but can't make up my mind which one. Thought Spanish might be good but I would like to learn one I can use a little.

Thanks Starry. I can't do this 24/7 joined at the hip stuff, checking up on each other every five minutes and doing absolutely everything together. For me it's far too claustrophobic and I would choke very quickly. I can't quite work out what these people talk about either having no separate interests. I rather like independent people and find them far more interesting and also I don't expect anyone I am with to enjoy everything that I do. Joining in is great at times but being forced to do something is awful and just a power trip.

Good Point

My ex played Cricket every Saturday...it was an all day event. So Saturdays, was my day with my girlfriends. A bit of retail therapy, followed by a nice lunch and a few drinks.

I know there were a lot of cranky 'Cricket Widows'...and I just couldn't understand it?? Why people feel they need to be joined at the hip 24/7 ? It's unhealthy...LOL

Posted by: starryeyez at September 22, 2008 9:43 AM

awwww H2H - that golf is a very dangerous game - hope you gave them a decent burial. he he - (also hope you are taking these comments as meant)!!! I always wonder about people that these days purchase their home on the golf courses - i.e. 13th Beach - Sandhurst do they constantly have to replace their windows?? Of course they do have covenants that don't allow you to have gnomes!!

I rather like the idea of a partner going off and doing their own thing now and then, golf is a good way. I enjoy my own time and space at times and that means they can't complain when I go off and do my own thing. Golf seems to me to be a healthy past time and is a lot harder than it looks and takes a bit of skill.

Posted by: iaminperth at September 22, 2008 8:33 AM

H2H...I had a cute little plastic fellow years ago. I bought him as a joke gift but became too attached to him to let him go. The paint faded over the years...and finally he was placed into the recycle bin...bit like here...but I still have fond memories of his happy, cute little face out there in the garden.

h2h you got garden gnomes *snigger*

Posted by: lovetolaugh57 at September 21, 2008 9:57 PM

There are way too many golf widows out there who could tell you that they hate their partner's obsession...at least, early in the relationship when they want more time with them. I've dated golfers and they are up and out early in the morning an dthen you get a blow by blow rehash of the day later....boooooring.

Posted by: istj54 at September 21, 2008 8:14 AM

I was always told to stay clear of men who are big golfers because there will be more thought and effort out into their golf than will ever go into the relationship!
Thats if they even manage to find some time for the relationship!

Posted by: brilliantblue at September 20, 2008 7:50 PM

Hmmm... interesting topic. If we take it as a whole (no, not 'in one), then it stands to reason that there's more 'hacks' out there than pro's (of the golfing variety, of course). Whoa! Waaay too many puns a creeping in here LoL. So does that mean they'd start ripping chunks out of my carpet? Leaving bruise marks on my trees, and spending half the night rummaging around in my ferns looking for that elusive #5 Pinnacle?

There'd be nothing worse than having someone hovering over a large bowl of punch, trying to figure out how they're going to fire that meatball out of there that they just shanked off their plate with an overpitched fork action.

And what a about the dummy-spitters that send their club cart-wheeling through the air after a duffed put? I can just imagine my crockery resembling a Greek New-Year.

And the more consummate a golfer they are, the more I'd be worried about their irresistible urge so see if they can clear my back fence with one of my garden gnomes.

Personally, I'd be steering clear of anyone who fiddles with balls a lot...

Posted by: heart2heart57 at September 20, 2008 4:05 PM

Are there any golf leauges in the Northshore area worth joining so we can test this theory and discuss it further?
