As the daughter of an avid golfer (AKA:golf-orphan ), I can tell you, those 5 or so hours... which end up being 6-7, right? 19th hole, drinks with the guys, something to eat... is a LONG time on a weekend without their daddy. And a long time for W to be soley responsible for kids on a weekend. We HATED golf! Dad worked all week and then the only time he had free on weekend he chose to spend with some smelly guys instead of us??? From the ages of 9 -14 I used to follow my dad around on the course with a book, just so I could hang out with him.
My mother (AKA golf-widow ) ended up learning how to play when she was 56 just so she could be with him sometimes.
Now, my BIL, who is also an avid golfer, doesn't have that much of a problem... he involves his kids and wife in his hobbie. He plays his 18, then takes an hour or so to teach his kids how to play. They all go over to the practice field and make an outing of it ending up in ice-cream and laughs. Quality family time! But the initiative is his, understand?
May it be eternal while it lasts.
