“Fore the Love of Your Life: When He Plays (AKA How Women Endure 18 Holes of ‘Man vs. Ball’)”

Tee Time or Spousal Showdown?

Picture this: He teases you for being “too careful” on the green, then promptly shanks his tee shot into the woods. Welcome to the classic ‘man-on-a-golf-course’ scene—hogging the TV, blowing his budget on new toys, and (ironically) opting for more clubs instead of fewer distractions.

Round 1: The Pre-Round Pep Talk

Before the round, he assures you he’s “been practicing.” Meanwhile, you know those "practice swings" in the backyard are more likely about using your yard as his own driving range. “Shank it and yank it,” right? (We've all had our not-so-quiet moments after that yard accident!)

Round 6: The Cart Chronicles

As the ride around hole #6 starts, so does his commentary:

“Do you like my new titanium driver?”
“Honey, can you hand me more balls?”
“Why do they call it a ‘birdie’?”

Cue your mental subtitles: Cart convo translator—activated. These moments are comedic gold—thematic cousins to “Golf Cart Conversations” .

Round 12: The Fashion Police Patrol

You in your crisp Shanks skort and fun patterned polo are ready—stylish and functional. He, on the other hand, shows up in that neon polo from 2002 and socks with sandals.

It's not just about how he swings, but how he looks while doing it. Chloe from Shanks says, “We value women golfers no matter what age, size, or creed”—so watching him mismatched in his gear just adds to the comic relief.

Round 15: The Mid-Round Crisis

Hole 15: the “moment of truth.” He slices it into the drink—dramatic splash. Cue a meltdown: “That ball is cursed!” Meanwhile, you're calm, confident, and 5 strokes better than him. Naturally, he needs your expert advice—again.

👉 Tip: Place that ball on the right side of the 19th hole beverage cart. Trust me.

The 19th Hole: Where Everything He Said About His Game Doesn’t Matter

Here’s where the prize arrives: your final Gatorade or cocktail while he redoes every shot he took. But isn’t it charming? It's his heartfelt confession—that golf, much like love, is a game best shared (with snacks included).

Final Swing (a.k.a. The Wrap-Up)

Men playing golf with women is like golf’s romantic comedy—full of tension, missteps, hilarity, and yes… eventual triumphs (on the 19th hole). He’ll keep picking up new gadgets, but you—stylish, bold, keeping him grounded—are the real MVP of the day.

So next time he teases, miss-aims, or pulls out that wild polo, smile and remember—you’re perfect in your Shanks gear. You’re the one who knows a double bogey when you see it—and can still laugh anyway.
