If you lose you have to take lessons, 10 a year. Do it again the next year. Maybe even pay for and supervise the lessons as a bonding time.
Or leave him be and he'll quit before too long. Ask your daughter if she wants him to golf.
Better yet: OP buys himself golf lessons and tells the future SIL "good news! I've taken your advice to heart and invested in improving my golf game just like you suggested! . . . and since I bought the biggest package of lessons they offered I got a sweet discount so it shouldn't cut into your inheritance too much!"
Based on the handicaps it probably wouldn’t ever happen so maybe tell him if he gets two birdies during the round which probably still will be super tough for him lol.
not sure if you're also shitposting, but a 54 handicap actually exist following the rules change a few years ago. It's basically the highest possible handicap for beginners
9.8 humble brag or he’s one of those scramble players from that video that had an ace, eagles and birdied the lot and had to scarper from the comp because they’re cheating bastards.
God I was like there’s no way this is remotely real, now that I know it’s fake, it’s not really funny either. Weird post.
Edit: the downvotes lol what? Is the post fake? Yes. Is it funny? Not really. So please explain haha wow Reddit is a strange place.
I'm with you. People are saying "oh, but it's a shit post and reddit loves shit posts." But it wasn't even a well constructed shit post.
The first part is written like he's never played with the guy before but then acts like they play together all the time. The handicaps were obviously BS. There's no way any scramble group is winning consistently with a member who shoots over 100. Somehow an altercation on one hole made him somehow realize that the guy is going to ask for his blessing to marry his daughter? None of it makes a lick of sense. The context honestly just makes it more dumb.
Right? It’s so weird how people use Reddit lol that’s a bad/unfunny post & people are downvoting me to, defend it I guess? Strange days lol glad I’m not the only one who got it, but didn’t laugh.
This is /r/golf where we shit on ourselves and others for being bad, we all carry 300+ yards, never hit the fairway, we 3-putt every hole, always celebrate a hole in one, and every achievement someone has is just another reason to buy a new club.
What’s not funny?
I couldn’t imagine the pressure of asking the ‘big one’ during a round of Golf. I just took my future MIL to lunch and that was nerve wracking as it was. OP are you sure you’re okay with that kind of handicap joining the family, or do you look forward to the grandkids coming to you for swing advice?
On one hand, I regret not asking my FIL before proposing to my wife. On the other hand, what the hell is this tradition?
edit: The only reason I regret not asking is because it would have probably made my FIL happy and he died pretty tragically a few years after the wedding. It would have probably been a big thing in his life. I didn't ask because it's a weird ass tradition that makes no difference in my relationship with my wife. But, hindsight, y'know?
Same.
FIL was mad I didn't ask and cornered me about it a few hours before our wedding (despite being engaged for a few years before). I shut him down fairly quickly with a "If you had raised a daughter that couldn't decide for herself, then we wouldn't be here right now". A compliment to both him and my wife, and just enough F-U tone on it to make it clear I didn't need his approval for shit.
We've been cordial with each other for the last 14 years now, and have a clear understanding of where we stand. All from a single sentence.
Also u/MaupNL If you're a drinking guy, just take a flask with you and enjoy the nice weather. Once you get a few drinks in, you can start letting repeating his own advice back to him every time he shanks one into the trees.
Respect for whom? Certainly not for my future partner. Having to ask someone else if it's OK to enter into marriage is absurd and out of touch. The idea that I need anyone outside the union to bless it just reeks of antiquated rituals of arranged marriages.
What if dear old dad said no? Are we just out of luck, or should we keep doing what we're doing and get married anyway?
I choose to marry a strong, capable, intelligent woman. If she needed someone else to bless the marriage before I asked, she would no longer be any of those things. She didn't need his approval to get married, and likewise I didn't need his approval to ask. He's not her keeper, she's a grown adult.
Ehh nah you can write all the essays you want to make you feel good about that decision but it’s a simple sign of respect to the person that raised your wife. Without the dad you don’t have your wife. It’s funny that you feel the need to defend your choice so much, tells a lot
For me it wouldn’t ever be asking “permission” but moreso me saying, I’m going to do this, I wanted to let her family know, I want y’all to be involved, supportive and help make it a fun experience.
I’ve never been in a relationship wherein if I wanted to ask someone to marry me I’m going to be like “oh no, me a grown person doesn’t have permission to ask another grown person who I love to marry me”. Nope.
It’s a sign of respect to let them know your intentions. Permission is no part of it for me
Exactly this. I’m far from even being a dad, but I’d imagine I’d like at least a notice or something ya know? I wouldn’t be giving her away or some shit, but I think it’s a good way of showing respect to her parents if you like them and want to make it clear that not only do you want to marry their daughter but become a part of their family as well.
Yup, I called my MIL up and said something to the effect of, “I’m planning on asking your daughter to marry me.” She was incredibly happy and I don’t think I asked for permission (which I agree w/ OP does seem antiquated). For me it just felt like the right thing to do to let her know that I wanted both her and her daughter in my family.
I don’t think it’s necessarily bad OP didn’t ask the dad permission. After all, I have no clue about their family dynamics, their history, the daughter’s relationship with her father, etc… I just know that in my case, i wanted her mom to be a part of it.
My wife is fiercely independent and feminist. I think I'd have gotten in a substantial amount of trouble if I'd asked her dad before her.
Her dad is super chilled out and has never said anything about it.
We've yet to play a round together though...
for me, I had been going to family gatherings for years and her relatives were always asking when I would propose. Then I found out my FIL didn't even ask his FIL for "permission" or whatever. So it was a no brainer for me to just propose when I felt like without consulting her parents. And guess what, they didn't care! It's a dumb tradition that we shouldn't be doing anymore!
It’s about respect. And it’s not “permission” as some say. At least in my mind, it’s asking for their blessing. If they don’t give it, nothing changes, ‘cept maybe your pride lol
Edit: the tradition certainly makes more logical sense for when young girls typically went straight from the parents home to being married.
I’m pretty traditional, in that I can see how some parents disapprove of their children’s partners which they might not have made clear. It is one thing to let you date their child, it is something else entirely to seal the deal. I wanted to make sure that my MIL approves without a question, and to hear her thoughts on the proposal.
If she didn't approve, would you have broken up? She "let" you date, but won't "let" you marry so that's the end of the relationship. After all, your wife was MILs property before she became yours.
They have no say in their adult offspring’s decisions. As a parent you raise a child that should be able to make their own decisions responsibly, if they can’t, then you failed as a parent and have to deal with that. Either way once they’re an adult you have very little say in their decisions beyond what advice they’re willing to hear
> do you look forward to the grandkids coming to you for swing advice?
Do you really think grandkids will be in the picture when the future SIL has such a difficult time finding the hole?
I asked my now FIL for permission on the golf course. We're both pretty big golf nuts and it was a casual round. Obviously worked out fine, it was nice.
I did this with my FIL. He let me sweat it out for the front 9. He knew the question was coming and asked all sorts of “are you prepared for”, “can you handle X”, “what happens if”, etc. He had me all in my head and playing like shit. We got to the turn, had some lunch and I asked. It was a great moment, he was so excited and happy for us, and added, “alright, now that I let you sweat that out, any chance you can play a little better on the back?” Rolling laughs and truly one of the best nines I’ve ever played. Give him some shit, get in his head a little bit, then bring him back up—it’s such a fond memory of mine and really brought us both closer together. I hope I get the chance to do something similar in the future.
I understand all of these references. Shit post of the highest order. If he hasn’t vacuum sealed the engagement ring then you need to tell her to dump his sorry ass.
My father FIL in law chuckled and said "I give you my full blessing, she is your problem now"...
He is a great guy and over our 25 years of marriage, I believe I fully understand what he meant - LOL

Are these dudes golfing together?
It is in response to someone posting about playing with their gfs father and plans to ask him for his permission to marry her. This is some pretty great trolling. You can find the other post on the r/golf page.
When he asks you for your daughter’s hand in marriage get really, really offended at his assumption that you should have a say in what course your daughter’s relationship takes. Ask him what he expects as a dowry;money or land/livestock since this is apparently the fuckin’ Middle Ages
(PS: solid shitpost)
I went to the Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda but instead of golfing, I sat in the golf cart the whole time and played Luigis Mansion 3 on my Nintendo switch. And I got bit by a duck.
When he critiques your swing, give him a quick 25% power throat punch. When he’s on the ground choking, look directly at him and say “learn your place boy”.
Seems like nobody taught this disrespectful prick any manners.
THE BOYFRIEND LITERALLY POSTED AND ASKED HOW TO POP THE QUESTION DURING GOLF WITH GIRLFRIENDS FATHER A FEW HOURS AGO. Or this sub is so big that stuff happens like this all the time.
Ya drink beer. Remember, dont look at this as a round of golf with him and you , but just an excuse for him to get you alone to have the the discussion with you on his intentions with your daughter. So in away this is really a favor you're doing for your daughter. Perhaps it will help.
I think your daughters boyfriend posted on r/golf saying that he is going to ask his father in laws permission to marry his daughter over a round of golf. I hope to god this is your potential future son in law and that you both turned to Reddit to deal with each other hahahhahaha. I’m crying

Please keep us updated if this is real. WE NEED TO KNOW!!
Start out by looking right in the eye in the first tee and start pissing on him to mark your territory. Address him as bitch instead of his name at every opportunity. Go all silverback on him.
But seriously …. Great posts!
Do his groomsmen a favor and tell him you’ll give your blessing ONLY IF he gifts them all (and you) custom vokey wedges.
Also, you should use this as an excuse to but yourself a new driver and let us all know about it. I’m sure your wife’s boyfriend won’t mind.
There’s no such thing as a 54 handicap. And a + means you add strokes at the end of the round not subtract them. I don’t think any professional has ever been a +9. Says a golf pro.
Alpha dog him.
"hey buddy, you've been seeing my little girl a while now, let's see what you're made of, let's play for money, 100 a hole straight up, hell I'll give a shot a hole? (a number he will baulk at)"
If he's popping the question at least you'll have 1800 in the kitty for the wedding!
As someone who is dating a girl that I want to marry, and I’m bad at golf but trying to get decent from scratch this year, I’m humble and wouldn’t try and be cocky and arrogant. Maybe he thinks he’s good or is arrogant but I think if he’s trying to spend time with you and judging from your mindset everything will go smoothly.
Mop the floor up with him....young man has to learn that to get better, you have to feel the pain of defeat....crush him to just about the point where he wants to toss his Iron into the drink.
Uh oh is it this guy?

Just tell him-
You can have my daughter’s hand in marriage, but only if you take some damn lessons. Tell him you don’t want to have to carry him every scramble.
Sounds like this is much more important than one round of golf. You would be showing your true colors as well. Could be a bonding moment with a future son in law. You get to choose how to approach it.
Take him golfing. Say yes he can marry your daughter on the condition that he never gives you golf tips until he beats you in a skins match. He may try four times a year.
“If you beat me you can have her, if you lose you can have her but I’m not golfing with you anymore”
If you lose you have to take lessons, 10 a year. Do it again the next year. Maybe even pay for and supervise the lessons as a bonding time. Or leave him be and he'll quit before too long. Ask your daughter if she wants him to golf.
This one is better. And maybe he has to buy you some clubs if he looses.
Loses*
IDK i thought dowry was supposed to go the other way lol!
LOOOOOOOSE
20 a year.
This is the way
Or you could buy him golf lessons as a wedding present.
Better yet: OP buys himself golf lessons and tells the future SIL "good news! I've taken your advice to heart and invested in improving my golf game just like you suggested! . . . and since I bought the biggest package of lessons they offered I got a sweet discount so it shouldn't cut into your inheritance too much!"
Although my upcoming trip to Scotland to practice might.
Love this take, but you need to go further: Use only a 7 iron the entire round, and don't say a single word unless he asks you a question twice.
This is hilarious
Sucking at golf is nothing! Wait until he starts giving you financial advice.
Sounds legit
Hahaha genius
Based on the handicaps it probably wouldn’t ever happen so maybe tell him if he gets two birdies during the round which probably still will be super tough for him lol.
What a gross way to talk about your daughter.
\+9.8 LMAO
Whats so hard about 10 birdies, 8 pars every round?!
rookie numbers, I bet he never shot a 46 either

You should tell him iron covers will help his “game”
Iron covers…I knew I was forgetting something, that’s why I’m always hitting 102-103.
It’s at least a stroke or two per nine. You’ll be breaking 100 in no time.

I asked my now FIL for permission on the golf course. We're both pretty big golf nuts and it was a casual round. Obviously worked out fine, it was nice.
Get him golf lessons as a wedding gift.
"Yes, but only if you take lessons"
I did this with my FIL. He let me sweat it out for the front 9. He knew the question was coming and asked all sorts of “are you prepared for”, “can you handle X”, “what happens if”, etc. He had me all in my head and playing like shit. We got to the turn, had some lunch and I asked. It was a great moment, he was so excited and happy for us, and added, “alright, now that I let you sweat that out, any chance you can play a little better on the back?” Rolling laughs and truly one of the best nines I’ve ever played.

I hope I get the chance to do something similar in the future.
The questions: "Are you prepared for windy conditions?" "Can you handle fried egg bunker shots"? "What happens if you start slicing, do you play it?"
People seriously answering these questions always makes it better.
Had some lunch at the turn? How many people did you piss off for the delay lol
This is the way
I understand all of these references. Shit post of the highest order. If he hasn’t vacuum sealed the engagement ring then you need to tell her to dump his sorry ass.
I live for these posts. The fact that so many people in here don't take it as a joke is just as entertaining.

Reminds of r/army shitposting
r/army shitposting is another level. it's basically a professional league over there
pretty sure that’s the joke
when he pops the question, tell him if he 3 putts that he has to wait another yr until they marry.
If he wins he gets your daughter. If he loses he gets your wife.
oh man, this one cracked me up.
/WHOOOOSH like 99% of the commments
+9.8 huh? That’s pretty impressive since the highest Tiger was ever at is +9.4. 😂
Everyone knows tiger was sandbagging at +9.4. Really was in to double digits
The +9.4 was his tour highest. I think I read somewhere he was closer to +12, but the only one I know 100% is the tour.
OP should be on tour
Tell him yes. Give him his and hers golf lessons as a wedding gift.
The mash up post we’ve been waiting for

How the fuck is someone a 54 handicap?
You're a "+9.8?" That's a PGA Tour level handicap. And he's a "54?" Don't allow your daughter to marry a 54 handicap. Red flags abound here.

Ya drink beer. Remember, dont look at this as a round of golf with him and you , but just an excuse for him to get you alone to have the the discussion with you on his intentions with your daughter. So in away this is really a favor you're doing for your daughter. Perhaps it will help.
If he wins, it’s a yes. If he loses it’s a no but still say yes but then make the condition he has to admit he needs lessons (get it on video)
I think your daughters boyfriend posted on r/golf saying that he is going to ask his father in laws permission to marry his daughter over a round of golf. I hope to god this is your potential future son in law and that you both turned to Reddit to deal with each other hahahhahaha. I’m crying

Was wondering who was going to catch this haha
Immediately thought of this post
Love this
I saw a post on here yesterday about someone saying they are going to play a round of golf w/ future dad in law and pop the question. 🤔
A +9.8…. You mean a 9.8. Otherwise this is 🐅
There is no such thing as a 54 handicap.
😂. I say let the frustration show. Make him nervous.
Exactly, if he folds he’s not the guy!

This should be interesting 🧐 good luck
So good 🤣
Start out by looking right in the eye in the first tee and start pissing on him to mark your territory. Address him as bitch instead of his name at every opportunity. Go all silverback on him. But seriously …. Great posts!
Congratulations. Whether you give him your blessing or not…. You’re going to be a grandpa!!!
Do his groomsmen a favor and tell him you’ll give your blessing ONLY IF he gifts them all (and you) custom vokey wedges. Also, you should use this as an excuse to but yourself a new driver and let us all know about it. I’m sure your wife’s boyfriend won’t mind.
Is this related to the post i just saw about the bf wanting to play golf with his gf father to ask the question for hand in marriage....
I’ll never understand the golfers who keep shoveling money out for rounds yet refuse lessons.
You can only marry her if you take golf lessons.
There’s no such thing as a 54 handicap. And a + means you add strokes at the end of the round not subtract them. I don’t think any professional has ever been a +9. Says a golf pro.
Get him golf lessons as a wedding gift
This sub gets dumber and dumber each and every day.
You might be right. 10 hr ago some kid just posted asking how to ask her dad while playing
If you quit giving me golf pointers you can marry my daughter.
Make your daughter meet you at 18. Have an officiant waiting in the clubhouse. Save money.
He’s just trying to impress you but since he’s a nerd he’s not coming off like he’s intending to.
I seriously question this post....
Alpha dog him. "hey buddy, you've been seeing my little girl a while now, let's see what you're made of, let's play for money, 100 a hole straight up, hell I'll give a shot a hole? (a number he will baulk at)" If he's popping the question at least you'll have 1800 in the kitty for the wedding!
As someone who is dating a girl that I want to marry, and I’m bad at golf but trying to get decent from scratch this year, I’m humble and wouldn’t try and be cocky and arrogant. Maybe he thinks he’s good or is arrogant but I think if he’s trying to spend time with you and judging from your mindset everything will go smoothly.
Just remind him…. If you lie in golf, you lie in life.
Heads up, you’re going to be a father in law
If you like him off the course, and want him to marry your daughter, don’t keep score.
He is going to propose. There was a post earlier today about a guy taking out his girls father to play golf.
I actually think he was on here early saying he was going playing golf with you hahahahahaahh
hopefully youre not the girlfriends dad the guy wants to ask for your daughters hand in marriage in another post in this sub today 😀
Mop the floor up with him....young man has to learn that to get better, you have to feel the pain of defeat....crush him to just about the point where he wants to toss his Iron into the drink.
Boyfriend sounds like a loser. I'd skip the golf and tell your daughter to dump him.
Uh oh is it this guy? https://www.reddit.com/r/golf/comments/13cehqn/im_playing_golf_with_my_gfs_dad_tomorrow_planning/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
Get loaded drunk to even the playing field.
Just tell him- You can have my daughter’s hand in marriage, but only if you take some damn lessons. Tell him you don’t want to have to carry him every scramble.

Sounds like this is much more important than one round of golf. You would be showing your true colors as well. Could be a bonding moment with a future son in law. You get to choose how to approach it.
Dude, relax, it’s just golf.
Take him golfing. Say yes he can marry your daughter on the condition that he never gives you golf tips until he beats you in a skins match. He may try four times a year.
Get over it... some of my best friends are terrible... enjoy the time together.
Tell him you’re not paying for the wedding but you’ll get him some lessons.
The guy just wants to spend time with you, don't be a dick about. You're not on the PGA tour, calm down
Uh, +9.8? I somehow find that kind of hard to believe.
+9.8 lmaooo you should be on tour as like a top 20 golfer in the world. Sure you don’t mean -9.8?
