Husband Gets A Golf Lesson He Won’t Forget
Robin and Lee Wormsbaker’s marriage nearly landed in the rough over his fanatic golfing.
But Robin gave Lee a lesson he won’t soon forget, and now everything is back to par.
Here’s how it happened:
A couple of weeks ago, Lee promised to clean out the garage because the family was preparing to move from Longview to Port Angeles.
But then he accepted an offer to play a round at the Longview Country Club with his next-door neighbor.
Robin decided she’d had enough.
So while her husband took an afternoon nap, she scribbled “FREE” on a scrap of paper, slapped it on his golf bag and tossed his beloved sticks on the curb in front of their home.
“It wasn’t five minutes before I had someone up here asking about them,” Robin recalled, laughing.
When Lee woke up, he was having second thoughts about golfing. He told Robin he’d changed his mind and would clean out the garage.
“Well, you should have decided that earlier,” Robin told Lee. “I just gave your clubs away.”
Lee thought his wife of nine years was joking. After all, she had given him the set of Blades clubs and a new driver for his birthday.
He believed she had hidden the clubs, so he spent the day on his best behavior and expected them to reappear.
Two days came and went. But still no clubs. Reality began to sink in, and he began to believe Robin had given his golf bag away. So he ran an ad in The Daily News in Longview.
On Wednesday, the guy who got the clubs brought them back. Robin said the man wouldn’t accept a reward or even identify himself.
Lee, a night-shift worker at a paper mill, was asleep, so Robin slipped the golf bag into bed with her husband.
“I was dreaming about my golf clubs, about how nice it would be to have them back,” he said. “I wake up. And there they are!”
