He has clubs etc but makes it out only about 6 times a year. You don't really get into the game if you only play on vacation. Plus I think the guys in marriages now share the child rearing more than in the past as a lot of women work so no off with the guys playing golf every Sunday as was the norm when I was young.


All true. I am glad I got to live during the time when ladies and gentlemen played golf. And tennis. Living here is so nice. I think most people feel like the really rich used to feel.
