More men have been interested in finding ways of getting out of the house to play golf than finding ways to get their respective partners interested. By following the tips explained in this article a married couple and share the passion and frustration associated with the great game of golf. If your wife knows little about the game, you are going to have to bring her up to speed through assimilation. This process takes a little time, but will peak her interest in golf through means other than just a basic explanation or tales of golf exploits long past.
The steps here involve...
A subscription to a good golf magazine or digest and a catalog of good looking golf gear (which includes clothes as well as accessories) will have them looking into tips and design.
A visit to a scenic gold course. Just a walk around the perimeter may peek her aesthetic curiosity to 'a Good Walk Spolied'. Some resorts across the nation have tours, some clubs have ladies outings.
If you want your wife to play the game of golf, answer the following:
Is she capable of walking or playing at least 9 holes?
Is she a bit competitive?
Is she social?
Does she have a group of friends interested in the game on their own?
Does she have the patience? Do you?
There really is no time frame for a wife or partner to take up the game, or at least learn the basics. There are low cost driving ranges. There are putting greens. There are par 3 courses. These are all easy ways to wet her appetite (if any for the game). There are great golf tournaments on TV and cable (when starting to get her interested watch a Sunday final that is close and let her see the excitement of a tournament win. Let her be a Tiger Woods fan, even though you are a Mickleson fan or vice versa.
There are great video games that bring golf into your home before you even leave your house for the links. These include the Wii system game from Nintendo. You may not be holding a real club, but it teaches scoring and course approaches.
The best way to keep your spouse interested on the way to true golf appreciation is for you to not bad mouth the game. If you come home spitting nails at the 3 bogeys you made on the back nine, let it go! Remove the negative factor, as much as possible. This goes for any betting you do along the way.
There are some very astute golf fans out there who never pick up a club. They love the look and feel of resorts and courses in exotic or traditional places. Your spouse may fall into your passion for the sport if you share in the enthusiasm of the event and even its commercial appeal.
It is very easy to cause a rift in a marriage by turning your wife into a golf widow. But if she understands your passion and the game, she will most likely oblige in your participation. But, then again, don't feel too bad if she takes up the sport, excels and then she and her group leave you behind while 'playing through'.
Golf! It really is for everybody.
