Dreading Valentine's Day? Here are some Tips to Help Players
Spoil Their Significant Others

Severely overpriced flowers, hour-long lines at Hallmark and pink and red as far as the eye can see. That's right, it's Valentines Day - the day of love, romance and guilt to spend in excess of $200 on a gift! And if you didn't realize that, you probably will when you're sleeping on the couch tonight.

Anyways, on this day where so many significant others are upset by the lack of great gifts, thoughtfulness or romantic flair, we've put together a little list of ways to show your significant other you really care this Valentine's Day. While we can't promise they'll get you out of the doghouse for buying her a vacuum for the third year in a row, we can say with confidence that at least YOU will enjoy Valentines Day.

1. Valentine's Day is a "couples" holiday - which usually means doing things together. Yes, dinner and a movie are nice, I dare you to find a better bonding experience that a competitive game of BAGS!

Spacesuit2. Valentine's Day is supposed to be all about her. Remember that. Be a gentleman - just this once, let her be Player 1.

3. A new, sexy outfit is a great way to set the mood. Here's a few suggestions:
- The Trojan outfit: Attack the golf course looking like Brad Pitt in the Troy
- The Uncle Sam outfit: Light her fire with a little patriotism
- The Astronaut outfit: Take her to another planet with this inter-galactic space suit

4. Let her win a round in BAGS. But just one! You still need to beat her by at least 40 with the other five rounds.

5. DO NOT forget to tell her how much she means to you. This can be easily accomplished with a wink across the bar while you're playing Golden Tee. A wave doesn't hurt either.

6. Roses die and cards will only be thrown away. But her watching you shoot a -26 on Bayou Bay lasts forever.

Italian_dish7. Fancy Italian restaurants are not only expensive, but they're not your style either. So ditch the reservations and take her some place fun. The food at the bar may not have that romantic flair to it, but you'll probably save $80. That's 80 games of Silver Strike!

8. Remind her of all those great tailgate parties you two have attended with a game of BAGS. You can even wear your mustard stained shirt for added authenticity.

9. A gift from the heart is always the best way to go. If your heart is set on playing a round ofGolden Tee, I'm sure she'll see the connection.

Kiss10. It's not wimpy to show affection. A hug, kiss or tickle for no reason will melt her heart - and if it happens to make her miss an easy spare opportunity, so be it.

11. Compliments are a big key to a successful holiday. And, contrary to popular belief, it's ok to compliment your significant other with video game references. Here's a few examples:
- Your skin is as smooth as a brand new trackball
- You make me feel like I do after a perfect swish in BAGS
- That outfit makes you look as thin as the female golfer in Golden Tee
- Bowling a 300 game has got nothing on you
- Your as pretty as the 14th green of Cypress Cove

Giftcard12. No matter how over the top you go, you'll always be judged on the gift. And let me just say, roses, teddy bears and jewelry are for guys who have run out of ideas. So this year show her you care by getting her a completely unique gift - a Golden Tee gift card. You can even have her name put on it!
