Great Escape: Take In A Round Of Golf

Each week, Patch finds one activity for the grown ups to do without the kids. As parents we need to get away once in a while to relax and enjoy ourselves. Whether you choose to get out with your spouse or some friends really doesn't matter, just be sure to take that time for yourself and enjoy it. 

This week, Patch suggests you go for a round of golf. If you have never done it, you may be pleasently surprised. Golf is challenging and yet peaceful and quiet. It is fun and a great way to get away from the stresses of parenthood, especially because you probably wont even see other people's kids while you are out on the course.
