"My swing is crappy. I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t inherit my dad&amp;amp;#8217;s gift for golf. Thank goodness, or I might become OBSESSED. I was just reading in Us Weekly that Jennie Garth was saying how lucky she feels that her husband, Peter Facinelli &amp;amp;#8220;doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t watch football or sports.&amp;amp;#8221; Lucky, indeed! I once had a boyfriend who preferred the Food Network to football&amp;amp;#8212;even though he had played it in college&amp;amp;#8212;and I think I want that again. This weekend, my mom was just so OVER my dad watching the PGA Championship, which was on our TV about 7 hours a day, including bonus coverage on another network. So that&amp;amp;#8217;s 28 hours of my dad narrating for us things like, &amp;amp;#8220;Did you see that shot?!&amp;amp;#8221; And we were like, Noooooooooooo. &amp;amp;#8220;My eyes are open,&amp;amp;#8221; my mom said, &amp;amp;#8220;But no one&amp;amp;#8217;s home.&amp;amp;#8221; We just space out and our eyes glaze over when Dad starts talking birdies and bogies. My dad has his own special room where we banish him to watch the Golf Channel, but of course since I was home, he wanted to be around me, so he watched the tourney in the family room. This past weekend&amp;amp;#8217;s golf torture made us think of the Broadway musical Damn Yankees. In the opening song, the housewives complain about losing their husbands to baseball: Six months out of every year He lives by the television set! If you see that man of mine, How does he look? I forget! Six months out of every year, We know there is no other dame. If he isn&amp;#x27;t home by six, It&amp;#x27;s six to one there&amp;#x27;s a game. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a really funny, high-energy musical. But they were singing about baseball season. Golf is another story. My dad started singing about golf to the same tune, &amp;amp;#8220;11-3/4 months out of every year&amp;amp;#133;.&amp;amp;#8221; My poor saint of a mother did NOT laugh. What do you do when your guy watches or plays a time-consuming sport like golf? The tournaments on TV go on forever, and playing golf takes about 5 hours total to drive to the green, play 18 holes, and get home. 12 months a year. It takes over your life. Does your man watch a lot of sports? Does it seem to dominate your relationship at times? Get Glamour Wherever You Go! Follow us on Twitter. Friend us on Facebook. Add us to your Google homepage.
