As the thread title suggests, what do you guys and gals recommend when you try to convince someone to keep a handicap? More notably in this scenario I am trying to get the wife to start keeping one so that we can play in mixed couples tournaments at my home course.

That's at least the first part. The second part is that I would like to see her take the game a bit more seriously and cut down on the foot wedges and 'quitting' on holes. She's got a great swing and has the ability to shoot in the low 40s when everything is going well for her.

Today was her first legit score since playing JV golf in high school and it was a 97 with a trainwreck of an 11 on the last hole. She put three balls OB and kept on hitting off the tee, which is definitely a great first step. Again, just looking for tips about keeping her interested in the scoring aspect of the game.
