Golf is a man’s game…isn’t it?

My wife and I have been golfing partners for the past 10 years or so.

One of my friends doesn't understand why I would actually want to play golf with my wife! He likes to remind me that golf is a game to enjoy with your golf buddies, not your wife.

Now this guy is very happily married, for several years, but when it comes to couples golf, he just doesn’t get it.

Couples golf is very popular and is very enjoyable.

Play the round; enjoy the surroundings of a beautiful course together; and then relax in the clubhouse over a meal and a drink.

It’s a great way to spend time with your spouse.

"Hey guys, there are lots of benefits to participating in golf as a couple"

Topic of Discussion

Golf couples always have a topic of discussion outside of family and home that is mutually interesting.

Golf Stuff Addiction

Yes I’m a golf equipment junkie. My wife rarely objects to my purchase addiction since she too is involved with the game. Of course she gets her share of the golf toys as well.

Golf T.V

There’s a big tournament on T.V.? No problem. Enjoy it together. No struggle for the remote control, (which of course is a man’s rightful property) :)

More Benefits to Couples Golf

  • Couples golf can offer a brief reprieve from the realities of day to day life - together.
  • It's a great way to meet other couples, establish new friendships, and enhance current relationships.
  • Can provide a healthy bit of competitiveness and fun in your relationship.
  • Can help to build or enhance the bond of friendship between you and your spouse.

Participating in couples golf doesn't mean that you need to abandon your golf buddies. Getting out with these guys is enjoyable and healthy. Your spouse will likely establish her own golf buddies which can lead to further couples golf opportunities.

As you can see, there are lots of great benefits to playing golf with your better half.

As a final thought;

Golf is an experience that provides many memorable moments. Who better to share those moments with than your life partner?


Now there is some risk in all of this.

She might actually beat you! OUCH! Did I say that? Of course that’s never happened to me! No never! Well maybe…:)

My late wife only played golf with me when on vacation at resorts, but we both enjoyed it very much. In the 1950's, when I did some caddying at a private club, a member whispered to me that he and his wife had a spat of sorts and he was hoping a round of golf would help. I chatted with him and her separately while they were hitting extra balls. On the fourth hole he told me he had made up with his wife, and he was obviously very happy. The couple walked off the course in a very happy mood -- as I did with a huge tip. In my opinion, golf reflects life. Enjoyed this hub very much JBM.

Ladies golf is very popular, particularly where I live (in a resort-like town). The beauty of golf is that it is a sport that you can play for virtually your entire life. Not many others that can make such a claim. I think it is wonderful that you can get some exercise, enjoy the outdoors, and spend some time with your wife!
