Why playing golf is the key to a happy marriage

Abandoning your partner to play a round of golf is just asking for trouble, right? Wrong! A survey conducted by golfsupport.com has revealed quite the opposite.

As it turns out, golfers actually have the happiest marriages and lowest rates of divorce.

Five hundred golfers’ wives and 500 non-golfers’ wives were asked to rate their marriage satisfaction on a scale of one to five (five being the highest level of satisfaction, one being the lowest).

Nearly 80% of the golfer’s wives rated their satisfaction as a five, compared to 59% of non-golfers’ wives.
