What to do when the Wife beats you...................

[miro]

and no not physically.

So what an end to 2005. The following has just occurred:

(a) the Wife beats me off the stick for the first time ever.

(b) the Wife shoots 4 over par 76 at Camden Lakeside a week later. I believe her new handicap will be 9 (SHIT).

I have often said that when she finally beats me I would retire. Of course this was said in jest never expecting the event to actually occur. Now that it has, and she then backed it up with 76 (thankfully I shot a 75), it appears perhaps to be too drastic.

So other than retirement what are my courses of action:

(a) lots of lessons to ensure I stay ahead of her;
(b) completely new set of clubs for me (that must improve my game??);
(c) completely new set of clubs for her (in the hope it throws her off her game);
(d) other (pleae specify).

Still not the worst problem to have I don't suppose 8)

Pete,

The day she beat me off the stick I was 4 shots down standing on the 18th tee. A couple of cunning insinuations led her to a triple -still good enough to beat me by one. It also led to a fair amount of verbal abuse!!

Mate she has no interest in Womens comps -she wants to beat everyone. Not a competitive bone in body! :roll:

No - the worst problem to have would be one of those "golf widow" wives who nags about how much time you spend playing golf and how much money you spend on golf equipment...... :roll: :lol:

I like to hear stories of wives beating their husbands off the stick, because somehow I know that I'll never beat my hubby :roll: .

The only thing to do would be b & c...... a if you really have too. :wink:

I look at it as more of a challenge to get better.

If you can't do it on your own then you need one of these:
