My mum was a golf widow. Dad would play at every available opportunity and would only organize holidays near a decent course. They divorced years ago though and now, although mum is an obsessive watcher of all sport - although she's never actually done any since leaving school more than 50 years ago - the one thing she won't watch is golf. So I can phone Mum without worry for however long this thing lasts - normally she's most irate if I phone during some 'important' game or whatever and she can't understand that I'm completely unaware that it's happening, and care even less.
