Marriage Musings: Golf on TV

How can any human being watch golf on television? I’d rather watch ants have sex. When we were dating, Jason never turned that channel on, so I consider it false advertising.

I suppose it’s better than porn.

Do you have the same problem with your guy?

    Haha. That’s funny. But seriously, you don’t really know person til you marry them. See everything the habits slowly come out living together 24/7. For one thing, my husband would leave drinking glasses all over the place. Or wash out the one plate/bowl or glass in the sink. It’ll be my 8th anniversary in August. He still leaves the glasses everywhere. It’s minor thing considering he works, I stay home with our 2 kids. He’s an active/hands-on dad. He also does laundry, dishes etc– he helps alot. It’s just pick and choose battles.

    Congratulations on Bryn. Hope things are well with you and Jason!

    Married 37 years; whenever my man does something that I don’t care for, like – leaving his shoes in the way, so I can’t open my side of the closet….I say to myself…..”if he were to be gone tomorrow; I’d give anything to NOT be able to open my side of the closet”. It’s worked for 37 years and counting. Life is too short – cherish every moment cuz you never know how long you got!!!

    well said Ada:)

    I’ve blogged about my first year as a newlywed! How can two people be together so long – and still have so much to learn!

    Track was my husband’s secret sport. I was like who takes up valuable space on the DVR for track meets? LOL! That was defnitely false advertising.

    Hahaha, I have the same-exact situation with my hubby. When we started dating he didn’t even talk about golf, he was member of a golf club but we spent all the time hanging out at the pool. Once we got married is all about golf, and the golf channel… oh well what can I say, I hate it but it always manage to pop up in my tv. Its funny because we spent our father’s day just like you, he was watching the masters in the living room while I was snuggling with my 1 year old in our room:0) I did cook him a fabulous lunch though.

  7. Maddie says:

    Well, I can understand it. i had to sit through the whole British Open for three days and then some… without being asked. It was like watching NOTHING happen. The only thing I enjoyed were John Daly’s pants. So YES that is false advertising… There is also no reason anyone should watch ESPN ALL DAY LONG. i don’t get it and I think it’s a sickness! ha ha! You are awesome Mrs. Hoppy! Jason is a keeper even though he hid the awful truth that is known as “GOLF ON TV.”

  8. Allison says:

    My boyfriend watches the Outdoor channel, and his favorite shows are the the hunting ones. It’s boring, but I guess it could be worse!

  9. Joanne McKenna says:

    What’s that saying – men need to continue the things they did to GET you even when they HAVE you………………..married 25 years and that’s a crock of bullshit in my experience! I wouldn’t trade my guy for anyone, but things do change once you get married. Let’s say they “relax” a little more. And that’s ok – my husband works six days a week, comes home and does paperwork for our small business and is the hardest working man I know. He is a great father to our children and he is honest and trustworthy. So if he wants to watch sports or old cowboy movies (God help me!), I feel like that’s his outlet to relax. Also, each of us having our own tv since we were first married has definitely saved us from divorce. He doesn’t force to watch his choices and I don’t force him. We do watch some movies together and news stations. Marriage is more than always watching the same thing on tv, right?

    I don’t know what it is about guys and watching golf on t.v. Let’s be honest… there is nothing that is less exciting than watching golf. I’m always too busy to take naps and usually can’t fall asleep if I try.. but if golf’s on… that’s a guarenteed nap.

  11. ML says:

    I don’t have Golf TV, but I do have NFL Network going 24/7 over here-even in the off season! Gotta know every trade, every move, every training cramp and then some! ugh!
    I LOVE LOVE NFL, but god almighty, can we get a break after the SuperBowl.
    You know?? Just sayin’….

  12. Rebecca says:

    My husband likes to watch golf but he always ends up taking a nap halfway thru and waking up just in time to see the end. I try to change the channel when he is asleep but he immediately wakes up everytime. It could be worse I suppose….
    I think your the best Bethenny!

  13. Rachel says:

    After 4 years together I have just found out my honey secretly watches Clueless every time its on and I am not home. I came home early one day and he was glued to the TV. We laughed about it and moved on. Girls in short skirts…what can I say?

  14. NorskyGal says:

    My hubby doesn’t watch sports (thank goodness!), BUT he is a computer geek and surfs a lot, so I guess that’s the tradeoff.
    One thing you can be thankful for is that golf on TV is QUIET, versus if he were watching other sports, like football, that have those loud announcers!

  15. Yvonne says:

    I don’t suffer from the golf viewer husband disease… I endured that during college when I lived with a guy for 2 years. Let me tell you how FUN that was… that and watching the NFL Draft for days. I nearly stabbed myself.

    But these days, I suffer from the discovery/TLC/military channel viewer husband disease. I DO have to watch ants having sex. lol. That and those long boring videos that we all used to fall asleep watching in history class in high school. It’s both depressing yet exhilarating when he is deployed or in training because mama gets the remote back lol

  16. Betsy says:

    I am SO with you! Golf and Fishing are literally the two worst things EVER put on television. I’d rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick. Thankfully, my husband only turns Golf on when it’s a big game and fishing when he gets a wild hair and then it doesn’t usually last long.

  17. Candi says:

    My husband was like that about MMA and wrestling. He compares the wrestling to my watching the Housewives….LOL. I just watch something else on one of the TV’s in the house.

    Ada’s right, even those things that we find most irritating would be greatly missed if we were to wake up tomorrow without our spouses.

  18. Brittany says:

    I never liked watching golf on tv. Until my son who is 2 started watching it with his Papa. It is the cutest thing he will sit in a chair next to him and say “golf golf papa golf” until he turns it on. Moments like those make you enjoy anything.

  19. Sig says:

    By far better than non-stop NCAA 2010 video game football. Promise. I’ve seen both. Cheers to the ‘men.’

  20. Sheryl says:

    Never understood how anyone could watch Golf on TV? At least porn could be a couples sport!

  21. Rosie says:

    My husband only puts golf on TV if he’s going to take a nap. He says it makes the perfect “white noise” conducive to sleeping. That’s about the best use I can think of for having this “sport” on TV. It’ll put me to sleep everytime, that’s for sure.

  22. Meg says:

    My father was the same. He was a golf nut who would get up in the middle of the night (I am from Australia) to watch matches. I hated golf, bored me to tears. After he died suddenly, his friends arranged for a trophy and game to be played in his honour. I played in the game for him and what happened? I got hooked on golf! Take the clubs and head up to one of the country clubs Bethenny, you’ll have a great time. And if you walk instead of taking a cart, its great exercise too.

  23. eve says:

    Bethenny,

    Talk about sacrifice, I moved to BISMARCK NORTH DAKOTA for my hubby!!!!!!I was born and raised in Blkyn NY I am still in culture shock!! One of the reasons we live here is because my husband likes to hunt and fish! For me it is like watching paint dry!! He knows to go down to the “man cave” to watch anything related H & F , and there is a time limit! If he is going to spent a lot of time watching it on the tele, we could move back to NY! Bethenny I’m like Zsa ZSa on Green acres! LOL You “are” NY for me I live vicariously through you , so thank you!

  24. Tiffany says:

    Don’t knock it til you try it …. sit down with him and watch for a bit. You might even mention to him how buff Phil Mikelson is looking these days, or how attractive and fit some of the up and comers are on the tour … golf appears to be drawing a more physique conscious crowd.

    He might just volunteer to change the channel without you having to ask !! :)

  25. mary ann peters says:

    my first husband, decided one day not to use the hamper for his dirty clothes, and when he searched for any clothes that I had perfectly folded in his drawers, he would not care that he was making a mess of them. advice from my mother, \if he doesnt use the hamper\ keep his clothes where he throws them, and they dont get washed\ if he messes his drawers up, then dont fold his clothes from the dryer, just shove them in the drawers and let him iron them\ he ran out of socks and underwear bc they were on the floor, he did his own laundry one time, and his clothes in the drawers…oh well, he never broke that habit, so I never folded another pc of his clothing ever again. ( I left him after I eventually burned all his clothes, all the ones I bought him, after he decided to \date\ another woman while I was having my baby !! ) and the gent that lived next door to us at the time…chief of the fire dept..he looked over the fence and walked away !! my husband had to leave with his navy uniform that no longer fit, bc after 9 years, I had bought all of his clothes ! YOU have a gem Bethanny…and a beautiful baby and wonderful inlaws…you deserve them all !! Many Many blessings for the rest of your life :)

  26. Jeannette says:

    Beautiful baby and husband. May you have much happiness and love! I have been divorced twice and no intention of getting married again, unless he’s wonderful man. Some women are so lucky. God Bless and many blessings.
