How to convince your wife to let you play as much golf as you want to!

Many people often ask me,
"You just got married! How do you have time to play so much golf?
"How does your wife let you play so much golf?"
"What does your wife do when you are out golfing?"
I would wonder what golf has to do with being married. Then it dawned on me that these people love golf, but they are not able to play as much as they would like to because of their wives. They would love to practice 3 hours every day after work, but cannot do so because they fear that they will end up in the proverbial doghouse.
Here are some ways to break free from the shackles of your wife and play as much golf as you want to:

1. Tell her that she will always be more important to you than golf. Tell her that you would thow away your golf clubs if she ever asked you to. But also make sure you jokingly mention that you would resent her forever if she asked you to do that.

2. Ask her what her passion is. And then tell her that you would never stop her from, say, walking in the mall for 5 hours every Saturday and Sunday. Encourage her to follow her passion. I recently found out that my wife loves baking. Hence, I am encouraging her to take baking lessons. This way she will be busy and there could be a cake waiting for me after a round of golf.

3. Jokingly mention to her that if you ever make it on tour, you would say (on national television) how supportive she was and how she held the fort down while you were playing and practicing.

4. Make sure she has a demanding job. She should be tired at the end of the day so that she actually enjoys being home by herself for some time when she comes home from work and on weekends.

5. Get a travelling job so that she gets used to you not being at home all the time.

6. Convince her that if married couples spend too much time together in the first few years, then the marriage will suffer in the long run.

7. Encourage her to make plans with her own friends.

8. Learn to give her a good massage and give her a 15 minute massage after you come home from a round of golf. Trust me, she won't care if you were out for 4 hours or 8 hours if there is a massage waiting for her when you get back.

9. Never back out of an evening plan because you are too tired from golfing all day. Get a cart if you know there is something planned in the evening.

10. If none of these tips work, then try to get her addicted to golf.

I hope these tips work out for you. You know your wife best, so use extreme caution before following any of these tips.
Remember, you eat to live. But you live to GOLF!
