Taking golf instruction from my husband... Not so easy...

So, I don't know what it is with me.  But I do not handle instruction from my hubby when it comes to golf or anything else athletic.  The man is extremely athletic and can master any sport he puts his mind to.  I should be a sponge wanting to learn from him...

However, years ago (17 years ago) he was teaching me karate and I just had the hardest time doing what he said.  Literally we almost ended our relationship because he felt I was being disrespectful to him.  He tried teaching me golf 15 years ago and I didn't receive it will then either.  You would think after all these years, I would have gotten past it.  NOPE!!

So, we went to go golf (actually I wasn't going to golf, just drive the cart) this weekend w/ some friends.   However I decided to give it a try.  So, I jumped out on the course and tried it.  My girlfriend was instructing and that was going great.  But my hubby couldn't resist, he had to try to coach me and the hair on the back of my neck just stood straight up!   He is the most amazing guy and is good at golf, so why wouldn't I want instruction from him.  I have no idea.

We talked about it and maybe it is because he is a perfectionist when it comes to sports.  He is determined to be the best or pretty darn close.  Where I do sports more for fun.  I enjoy them but I don't have to be the best at them.  So I guess I feel he is trying to get me to perfect the sport, but he really isn't. 

So, I am going to put myself in a woman's golf league next spring and see if I can get the hang of this sport.  Then hopefully my hubby and I can start golfing together.  He did tell me he promised not to give me instruction unless I asked.  We will see...
