Gee Shivas, I guess you'll never know what you are missing out on. When I've dated women who play golf, I've always thought that was pretty damn cool, because its something I like to do, and if she likes it too that's great. Some of the best times I've ever had were playing some of the most architecturally dead courses you could ever imagine one summer with my girlfriend. We'd pick a little cow pasture nine holer in some little town to visit on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon just about every week that summer and since most of them were one price for all you can golf, and it got nice and hot on those summer afternoons, we'd often walk 36 holes in 4-5 hours, passing the occasional group of men but mostly having the course to ourselves. The best part was when you'd find one or more guys in one of those group with an attitude like yours, who apparently felt that a twosome that includes one female is going to hold up a foursome of fat guys in carts and were reluctant to let us through.
The look on their faces when this little wisp of a girl who was like 5'9" and 110 pounds would step up to the MEN'S tee and knock one 220-240 yards on a good hit was priceless! If she didn't have such a terrible short game she could have given me a good match (did beat me once as it is) Sometimes we'd play a nine or two as best shot, once we even played nine as worst shot, which is probably something that's more fun with a girlfriend than another guy.
And lest you think fun can only be had with a woman who can play, I've had some pretty good times with women who weren't very good. It doesn't matter to me too much whether she can play well, so long as she isn't so totally incompetant that every shot is a 50 yard worm burner, and she has a basic knowledge of etiquette and doesn't dawdle. That's pretty much my policy for playing with guys, too. I'd much rather play in a foursome of novice women who are fun and move along than a foursome of some of the more personality-free PGA pros who think a threesome taking five hours is no big deal.
And guys can have female friends who golf that they aren't dating as well, I've had a few of them. Wish I had more, but a lot of women don't want to play with a guy who asks them if they know he's a pretty good golfer, because if they aren't that good they just assume a guy wouldn't want to play with them. I've had a few who felt that way who said later they were pleasantly surprised that I wasn't annoyed and bored by them shooting 60 to my 40 or whatever. Sometimes I think the USGA should not concentrate so much on getting kids into the game and concentrate more on females. There'd be a lot more female golfers if they felt comfortable on the course, but they don't want to play with guys, and don't want to be in a group of all women because of the guys behind them, etc. Men seem to have no problem playing terrible, playing slow, being jerks, etc. Its too bad women are so much more considerate and generally better people than men
While being a golfer isn't something I'd require from whatever woman I eventually marry, it would certainly be a plus. If she's good enough and passionate enough about the game to want to go to say Scotland on a golf trip, I'd consider myself quite fortunate, and if that would make me persona non grata in some foursomes because I'd want to bring a woman along, then it'd be their loss.
