Feeling neglected? Golf widows of the world can get back on par with a little off-course pampering
ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS herself (or, more rarely, himself) a golf widow will have experienced that sinking feeling when their holiday partner bounds out of bed at sunrise, excited not by the prospect of spending a day in their loved one?s company but by the thought of hitting the green.
If you can?t beat them, join them ? and many golf widows have picked up the game just to keep a relationship going.
But those who steadfastly object to spending precious holiday time chasing a small white ball around fairways and bunkers are probably still searching in vain for a destination with no golfing options.
For non-golfers, finding an enjoyable alternative is vital for staying sane ? not to mention staying together.
Going shopping is a good way to pass the time ? at least until you reach your credit limit.
These days, spas are becoming increasingly popular and any resort worth its stars is coming up with increasingly elaborate spa options, helping to soothe impatient partners by offering them the chance to indulge in some prolonged pampering.
