Dear Abby,

I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls". When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?

Signed,
Perplexed


 
Dear Perplexed,

A cracked shaft can be a major problem and I would NOT try to fix it yourself. In addition, you do not want to use this club on a actual golf course as this could cause some loss in distance as well as accuracy. Moreover, this problem could result in a competitive disadvantage which might cause you a skin or two--especially on the back nine as the crack in your shaft may worsen, weakening the integrity of the club and its performance.

If the club is still under warranty, by all means, exchange it for another right away.

On the other hand, it is no longer under warranty, then consider upgrading to a later model. Not only is it much shinier and prettier than the old model, it has the added benefit of intimidating and making envious your peers.

As an aside, I'd handle the wife thing the same way.

Enjoy using your "new equipment" to get it in the hole,

Sincerely yours,

Abby
