Ask an Ozgolf Love Guru Thread

[Micdeez]

Dear OzGolf Love Guru,

So our 2 year anniversary is coming up for renewal (April 5), and I have NFI what to do.
For our 1 year event, I took her out to Nielsen Park, Vaucluse overlooking the Bay and just had a good ol' fashioned picnic and champers. It was a great day and I was chuffed at myself that all went well.

Seeing as the day now aligns with the Easter weekend, I would like to possibly take her out on a mini holiday somewhere secluded and relaxing, or maybe just a nice dinner somewhere in the city (although doesn't seem thoughtful?).

I welcome your words of wisdom and profound knowledge. Bit of background, I am 32 and other half is 26. We aren't married but live together and can say with confidence that our relationship is very healthy.

Cheers

[live4golf]

Test the relationship...take her to a resort with a golf course :)

[Scifisicko]

Im no use to you. Ive forgotten what that was like. The day my wife turned 40 was a busy day at work. I meant to get a nice cake but i left late. I picked up a cake in a plastic wrapper from a convenience store. 10 years on she still talks about it. At least it was memorable....

[Peppas]

Get out of that de facto shit now while you still can.

[Ferrins]

Get out on the water with a private yacht charter. Give her a aqua marine pendant to mark the occasion. She will keep the pendant and one day it will go to your daughter or grand daughter.

[benno_r]

In all honesty, don't keep trying to top the one before. It'll end up either costing you a fortune, or major disappointment when you can't keep it going.

Wake her up with Breakfast in bed and remind her how lucky she makes you feel. Make some sweet love then go have a game of golf.

Note: This is my typical anniversary celebration.

[Captain Nemo]

Id take her to the Cross and get a feed catch a show.
Pink Pussycat is a good start.
Love The Captain!

Any thoughts where?

Are you suggesting I put a ring on it?

I like this. Never taken her out on a boat so I hope she isn't one of those sea-sick types...

I am OK at cooking, and I think I've covered the sweet love bit. Not sure about the game of golf after. Is that as bad as making love to your woman and not giving her cuddles after?

[benno_r]

Overrated. Generally after sweet love (on any other day but our anniversary) I am straight downstairs to glue up some driver shafts.

Edit: It's all about setting precedents and putting your foot down early. You get into patterns of giving her everything she wants, she will expect it all the time.

A while back, a girl who is now an ex, and I, went out on a BOAB hire similar to this. Wouldn't let me bang her on the boat (was worried someone might see), and was whining the whole time I was fishing. Never again.

Edit: Upholding my honour as a faithful husband.

The Captain, I believe she thoroughly enjoyed a show at the Cross on a hens a week or so back.
It could be a win-win for both but its seems like a precarious option!

The guy who sold me his tinnie said he did and even described the scene.

No

Too fancy mate. Unless it drops you off at a nice course for a round. :D

My question is - what is the one thing she loves to do, but never gets the chance? Find out what it is and do it randomly at some stage during the year. Then refer my previous post for anniversaries etc. Seriously.

Edit: And to put this in perspective, my Mrs boxes and sends all my clubs, and picks them all up from the post office, and I follow the advice above.

[markTHEblake]

After 20+ years of marriage I have discovered the secret to making her happy, and it's none of the materialistic bullshit.
1. Listen to her.
2. Acknowledge you are listening (bonus point).
3. Engage in HER conversation (huge bonus points).
And never ever surprise a woman. If you are gunna treat her to a romantic occasion, TELL her long beforehand. That way you score points when you told her, bonus points Everytime she tells a friend and triple points when it happens

[3oneday]

bragger.

It'll pass.

[LeftyHoges]

I like the idea of a helicopter ride, hot air balloon ride etc.

Last year when holidaying in Perth I bought the Mrs a jetboat ride on the Swan river (which she LOVED!), and a skydive over the beach. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough on the day to do it, but we have them paid for and can use them at quite a few different places around Australia, so we'll look to use them somewhere nice or just go back to Perth (coincidentally around GSM Champs time).

Someone suggested a nice weekend in the Hunter, that's certainly not the worst idea in the world. Splash out on a nice B&B and do a few wineries, chocolate factories etc.

[Captain Nemo]

You guys are such sucks, harden the **** up the lot of you!
As 3 said, it will pass... :)

[Yossarian]

Yeah doing something nice for a person you ostensibly love is soft guys.

[Johnny Canuck]

You had me at hello.

[Croydo]

Whatever you do, don't take her to the Opera.

You could look at going to the blue mountains, the hydro majestic does a really good high tea and has recently been done up.

[LarryLong]

My 11th or 12th (I think) anniversary is coming up in 4 days. No plans on either side of the fence that I'm aware of. Of course, she forgot the first one, so I've been off the hook ever since.

My advice would be to 'forget' the anniversary this year. You're early enough into the game that she will forgive you and laugh about it, and probably give you a ribbing over it for the rest of your life, which will add to the fun.

[3oneday]

My 18th was Sunday. I got a card, she got a card and scratchies. I spent the day at Rockdale, she spent the day cleaning and ironing.

I would have liked a game of golf.

[sms316]

Ultimately she wants to go on an overseas holiday... We are planning something for Xmas. I would like the anniversary simple and to not over-engineer it so your idea is still a good one.

All points noted! I'm sure they can apply to all here!

Can you give me a ballpark figure -in years scenario?

We actually went to Hunter for a wedding a month ago, really enjoyed the scenery and had time to go on one tour. Sadly I didn't have time to play The Vintage where we stayed (Crown) so potentially it could be an idea as she's keen to play a round (not sure if she was serious though?).

I mentioned in another thread, she's getting me a new push cart for our 2 year, and I would like to at least make a little effort and some good ideas on here so far. I can tell you the ONE thing she definitely wants and its something a bloke has to get on one knee for...

Do something out of the box. One anniversary I bought tickets to a sporting event we both liked, the next one a boat licence course for both (surprisingly was a hit), the latest was indoor skydiving (massive hit), the next week be a few laps in a V8 around Eastern Creek. The point is this is the stuff she would never do in a million years but provides the biggest kick. It's to the point now where she almost dreads the day coming up :)

Read this page first. for my 20th this week taking the bride to vietnam and Thailand, then realised it was your unmarried (?) 2nd, we didnt get any unmarried anniversaries, for our 2nd wedding I recon I did the TAB and kfc.

[mrbluu]

Our 11th is coming this week. I didn't do anything for out 10th so was think I should take her away somewhere but haven't got around to organising anything. Maybe we don't have a babysitter might just have to do a quiet night in and watch the footy!!!

[timah!]

Unmarried second anniversary? Dinner and some bling.

Is she doing anything for you?

[Micdeez]

She's getting me any push cart that I choose.

Bling sounds like a great idea. I think I am just going to ask her (now) as I fear that I'll pick something that she won't like.

Bluu, go find yourself a sitter mate :)

Don't ask. Asking is boring. Do some leg work, raid her jewellery box. Gold, white gold or silver. Earrings, watch, bracelet, necklace. NO RINGS.
A couple of hundred should see you get something nice. There may not be diamonds but that shouldn't be an issue.

There's plenty of time down the track to go bananas on gifts...

[Steve57]

For our 30th anniversary I got to play Pebble Beach, The Links at Spanish Bay, TPC Harding Park and spent 3 days at Silverado Resort at Napa Valley. Get her playing golf and you are made for life!
32 years this year and reminiscing on the sand belt in Melbourne is on the cards.

A couple of hundred should see you get something nice. There may not be diamonds but that shouldn't be an issue. There's plenty of time down the track to go bananas on gifts... This. Definitely this. Just pick your price point, go into Tiffany and get whatever you think she'd like (based on the kind of thing she's bought herself) that fits the budget. It doesn't matter that an equivalent product elsewhere may be cheaper, that little Tiffany box counts for a lot. Although take that with a grain of salt. I spent my wife's 30th birthday interstate on a bucks weekend.

[IanO]

First couple of years just pick something that you both like doing together but don't get to do very often, book it and go do that. Tell her weeks in advance that you have organised something so she doesn't double up, BUT it also gets you the brownie points as she brags to her girlfriends that you are thoughtful enough to have planned something in advance. (Someone mentioned the brownie points earlier but I can't remember who to give them credit)

[Micdeez]

Quick recap: One night at Peppers Craigieburn (South, VERY SW Sydney), was a lovely place we were invited to a wedding earlier this year.

Nevertheless, it was a great mini getaway and they have a 9 hole golf course, so guess what, best of both worlds!!!

There was a nice dinner, plenty of red wines, and sweet sweet love-making to end the night...

Couldn't have done it without you guys, appreciate the tips.
