This is seriously going to cut into my golf next summer...

[Fitzpatrick]

My wife and I are expecting our first child, on or around June 29th. Hopefully I can get a couple of rounds in before it happens!

Chicks seem to dig an 'old fashioned man' with 'old fashioned values'. That means you need to be at a bar with buddies and hookers when she's in the delivery ward.

congratulations dude!!! awesome news, yes your golf will get cut, but not forever!

Having kids, nursing them, changing diapers, and just general maintenance... that's what women do. The more difficult tasks of life... like playing golf... that's what real men do. Make certain you point this out to your wife, preferably when she is puking her guts out with morning sickness.

Hey, congratulations!!!! This is a special time. Take it all in. Too soon, kids grow up and leave the nest. Wishing you and your wife the best of luck!!

I felt the same way as you when I found out my wife was pregnant. Them my daughter was born and I fell in love. Golf, and many other things took a back seat and I didn't think twice about it.

Limp is right, savor this and the time when they are little. She's almost 7 now and I don't know where the time went. Golf will be there, but you won't ever be able to get the early years back.

Congratulations!

Thanks guys! I feel like my one saving grace when it comes to golf when the baby comes is that we have a big back yard that I can practice my short game. So, when I get back to playing, I should be a short game wizard and back to tried and true hack everywhere else!

Seriously looking forward to this, though!

One piece of advice... For the sake of the little one, move south!!! Allow the child to know there is actually more to life than snow, cows, and cheese. It is entirely irresponsible, as a parent, to raise kids in an environment where... should they venture into the real world... always be told they talk funny!!!! Eh???

Congrats Fitz!!!!

I've been through it twice now, and there's nothing anyone can tell you that will prepare you for the intense sense of love you have for your own children. It's an absolutely amazing feeling.

Enjoy the non-mobile stage. Once they can move, the whole world is their playground.

Congratulations! Won't be long and your little side kick will be begging you to take them golfing.

You think people who live in the middle and southern part of the country don't talk funny?

Congrats man! I'm in a similar boat--expecting our first in August. That means an entire summer of uninhibited golf, right?

Congrats, Fitz!

...or people in the north east, like New York and Bawston.
