Olga R. I hate my rival
the golf clubs.
Frederick R. She should
travel without me.
Olga R- I am one of that
unfortunate tribe the "golf
widows."
We have been married 25
years. Our three children are
grown and one is married. I
had long looked forward to
this time of our lives as the
period when my husband and
I could start enjoying our sec
ond honeymoon.
I thought we might travel,
do things together. Well, we
do travel to the golf course.
I have grown to hate my rival
the golf clubs.
I enjoy the game, but I feel
there are other things in life
to enjoy. I want to see the
world. To Fred the world is a
golf course.
Frederick R What is the
sense of spending thousands
of dollars just to do something
because everyone else is doing
it? That's the way I feel about
travel.
I dont like museums,
atrange foods, packing, un
packing, dragging yourself
around vhen your feet are
tired.
As far as I"m concerned.
Olga should go on some of
these trips she has a yen for.
She could go with her sister
or one of her women friends.
She says she doesn't want to
leave me alone, but I coijld
be perfectly content without
her for a little while.
American is good enough
for me any day!
The Council: We wish we
knew the ideal way around
this sand trap, but we're
stymied.
The attempt to find an ideal
solution would be a little like
aiming for the 19th hole and
we think Olga ought to try
to adjust to accepting an
answer that would be a little
below par.
She should not deprive her
self of the fun she has looked
forward to. It may be a little
disappointing to have to give
up her dream of traveling
with her husband, but how
many of our dreams are fully
realized, anyway? Two women
traveling together will have
more fun than a woman with
a reluctant husband.
It is possible that when
Olga comes back from her
trip and speaks of the places
she has seen and the good
times she has enjoyed, Fred
will begin to feel like a bit
of a duffer. He may suddenly
catch the wanderlust from her.
It is also possible that after
a , short time as a iravei
widower," Fred will begin to
realize how difficult it is to
accept the role .of a second
fiddle to a hobby. He may be
come more willing to com
promise. To other "golf widows" who
are uninterested ir travel or
unable to consider it, we
would suggest the same basic
solution. If you cannot develop
an enthusiasm for golf, build
up a little courage and initia
tive and find your own en
thusiasm. It does take a little
spunk to get out of that rut
of helpless annoyance in the
face of your rival, but it is
worth all the energy you can
muster. It could be the begin
ning of much richer living for
you.
