Spring and summer are rolling in and people who play golf will do just about anything to get out on the course. If you’re a couple who golfs together, what better place to propose than when you’re out doing what you do? Here are three ideas that are sure to get you a, “Yes!” from a girl who golfs.

1. Make it a bet. If you have friends you like to golf with, bring them along to make sure to catch the proposal on film. Make a bet of guys-verses-gals, or couple-verses-couple, or something like that. In the end, when your sweetie is demanding payment from whomever, say you don’t have the cash but get down on one knee and ask if the ring will do. If you win the bet, when she starts to pay up, tell her you don’t need the money, you just need a yes, then propose!

2. 18. Keep with the bring-some-friends-or-family-along plan like #1. Have a friend play first, and go ahead and put the ring in the cup on the 18. Whether you want your friends to wait to take pictures or just do the deed, make sure she finds what’s in the cup! The important thing here is to know how she plays. If she isn’t going to putt out, it doesn’t do much good to put the ring in the cup, does it?

3. Spell it out. If you don’t want to risk dropping the ring somewhere for her to find, why not use a special golf ball for the occasion? Cafe Press has the option for you to spell it out on a golf ball. Ask her to retrieve the ball for you from the cup only to discover what you’re about to ask her. When she looks up from reading the ball, you can be ready on one knee with the ring!

As long as you’re not beating her, I’d say you have a fair chance of her saying yes! This may just be my personal fault. If I was playing any game with my husband pre-marriage and he had been winning, I think he’d have the good enough sense not to propose until the game was over.
