More and more couples play golf
BY•CAROLANNE DOIG
On the whole there are not very many
sports that both husbands and wives can
enjoy together. Golf, however, is certainly
one exception. More and more couples are
playingolf together even though wives may
still enjoy a game with the girls, and
husbands have their favorite male foursomes
too,
Sometimes it's quite humorous to see a
couple on the course, for a husband to teach
his wife to golf is akin to teaching her how to
drive the car. instead of hearing things like,
Ease oft' the clutch, e -a -s -y, E -A -S -Y!! The
clutch, the clutch, THE CLUTCH! I!" It
often goes more like this on the course,
"Keep your head down and your eye on the
ball dear, Try again, Look at the ball. LOOK
AT THE BALL!! O.K. you better hit another
one."
Sometimes the wife or girlfriend will be
naive enough to ask the simple question,
"What am 1 doing wrong?" „ and if the
husband is naive enough to try and answer
all kinds of repercussions can occur that may
last a lot longer than the 18 hole round of
golf. The most fun, of course, starts when
the lady begins to play well enough to
become a threat to the man's game.
Husbands may brag about how well the little
lady hits the ball as long as the scares don't
get tau close.
Golf is a great game for couples to play. It
takes time to play a round of golf and !f
you're playing with your partner in life, what
a perfect place to spend some time together
Unlike sports such as tennis where you're at
opposite ends of a court and too out of breath
to speak, during a round of golf couples have
a great opportunity to walk together and talk
to each other,
Many golf clubs have increased the
number of events held for couples, as more
and more women take up the game aria are
not afraid to go out and enjoy golf with the
sten. Fun events include couples golfing
together followed by cards, barbecues, and
often dancing, For couples who may be a bit
more competitive or just warit the opportun.
sty to play at other courses, Couples
Tournaments, have been increasing in
popularity, In fact the increase in the
number of couples events is so great that it is
difficult to find a weekend when there is not
a tournament.
Couples events vary in format. Some are
alternate shot events in which both the
husband and wife play the same ball and
take turns hitting, This is a speedy way to
play and is a good test of skill as well as a
test of the relationship. A great shot by one
partner can soon be spoiled by a poor shot by
the other, resulting in sour looks followed by
apologies. Alternate shot events require
otnsiderahle patience on the part of both
team members, '
The most popular format for couples
events is to play .your own ball and add the
two scores together. This will give your
gross score. After subtracting the' total of
loth handicaps the net score is arrived at, In
this format each player can play their own

There are many couples events in the area
and last week at Goderich Sunset 60 couples
competed for the fun of golf, socializing, as
welt as super prizes and a great meal.
Regardless of the scores everyone was jovial
and all the couples enjoyed a'pleasant day on
the course„Scores were very varied as
sometimes the husband would be an expert
while the wife was only a beginner, and
sometimes the situation was reversed.

closed locally as we hold our first ever
