Just curious how your partner feels about golf. Does he/she play as well (and if so do you play together often)? Are they happy you've found something you really enjoy or do they resent the time you spent on it?

My wife couldn't care less about golf but she is happy that I found something I really enjoy and she has her own interests to keep her busy (yoga for one, about which I am as indifferent as she is about golf), so she is happy enough for me swing away (I guess the fact that we don't have kids yet also means that we have plenty of free time to spare).

Just wondered how many couples play together and how rare of common the stereotypical annoyed "golf widow" (be it man or woman) actually is?

My wife does not play but supports my habit. She has rode all over the country in search of golf courses to drop me off. She then finds thrift stores or flea markets to kill time until the pickup time. Sometimes she will ride along in a cart with me or stay at the club house and read a book while I play if the course is isolated.
