A woman proclaiming “golf is for the girls” shared some womanly wisdom on how she learned how to golf for free.
In a viral TikTok with 2.7 million views, yoga instructor Liz (@wellniz) writes, “I learned to golf 2 years ago by literally making boys take me on dates to the range.” She says it was probably a “dream come true” for the men. Meanwhile, she was averaging about three free lessons a week.
‘Brilliant’
In the comments section, viewers were largely supportive of the hack. Many admitted to doing the same themselves.
One said, “I would date folks with hobbies I wanted to try out & we’d go do that for a first or even second date (so I could decide if I wanted to stay with the hobby) I now have so many wonderful activities I love to do & know how.”
“I took 3 months of guitar lessons for free bcoz a boy who had a crush on me was one of the church’s musicians and I painted myself as a tradwife potential to get what I want,” a second shared. “I’m an atheist lesbian.”
“Yaaas girl,” another praised. “My friend renovated her house by dating a plumber, etc.”
However, some issued a warning: The men may not be golf experts and could be overconfidently giving you incorrect tips.
Others put a name to the practice—habit stacking dates.
What Is Habit Stacking?
Habit stacking is the practice of building a new habit by attaching it to one you already do consistently. For example, if you want to read more, you may begin listening to audiobooks on your commutes to build the habit.
The concept of habit stacking dates is planning dates around an activity that you already regularly do or want to begin doing. For example, one TikToker suggested turning your morning walk and matcha run into a date.
Not Everyone Is On Board, Though
Some viewers took offense to the hack, however, implying that the men were being used.
“This is why I have trust issues. Keep your heads high [kings],” one wrote.
A second said, “Admitting to being a narcissistic person who leads on others for their own personal gain and has no morals surrounding respect or karma is essentially the best we can do these days fellas. Think I’ll stick to my own stuff.”
“Imagine you go to range by yourself and see the girl you were just having a date with do the exact same thing with another guy lmao,” a third jokingly pointed out.
Liz responded to a similar comment about being seen with multiple men at the range with a video explaining the ways she doesn’t get caught. First of all, there are multiple ranges in her area. She also says she typically wears a hat, concealing her identity. She’s not likely to be recognized as a regular because she doesn’t interact with staff much. And she goes to the range at different times depending on the person she’s with.
Why Are Golf Dates Elite?
Responding to the man who called her a narcissist, she made a video explaining that she lives in Utah. “Probably the dating capital of the world,” she says. She finds hiking or golf dates cheaper, more fun, and more authentic than the typical movie theater or bowling date, which she’d hate to have to go on again. She promises that her intentions are “100% pure.”
Several commenters backed her up on this. They said a golf date is cheaper than dinner and comes with fewer expectations. It’s a way to get to know each other while doing something fun, and she may have found genuine connections with people. As one pointed out, it’s not like she told practical strangers that she loved them and then forced them to buy her a lobster dinner.
While Liz said her intentions were pure, others admitted to dating certain people specifically for the perks. Ultimately, whether you go on habit stacking dates as a fun way to genuinely get to know someone or purely to benefit from their expertise is up to you. And as one commenter put it, it may not be socially acceptable, but there’s no denying that it’s smart.
