Another thing I just thought of. I think in my Dad's case, it wasn't so much that he chose to play golf on weekends, but what he chose to do with the rest of the hours he had on weekends.
In his case, he played golf, then of course, he was a little tired from playing golf. Couldn't give us his full attention. Then there was the Sunday paper, his football games on TV, his golf games on TV, maybe a little weekend work, going out to lunch... Next thing you know, he had actually spent maybe an hour or two giving us his full attention. The rest of the time was for him.
If he had maybe given us as much attention as he did golf during the other hours he had on the weekend, we wouldn't have placed the blame on golf so much.
You don't have to stop playing, you just have to make sure you're spending quality time with your family. Prioritize your time on weekends to be Family first, golf second and all other things after that... See how that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your hobby?
May it be eternal while it lasts.
