‘Going golfing’ top excuse used by cheating hubbies

AS the world’s top golfers (including serial adulterers Tiger Woods and Colin Montgomerie) gather at St Andrews for the 2010 British Open Golf Championship, a married dating website has found that “going Golfing” is one of the most common excuses used by British husbands to obscure their affairs.
IllicitEncounters.com, which provides a platform for married people to find extra-marital lovers, surveyed 1456 of its male members on the excuses they use to cover up their infidelity. Although traditional excuses like “working late” and “dinner with a friend” topped the list, “going golfing” sneaked in to third place, with 14% of the site’s male membership claiming they had at one time used a game of golf to cover up an illicit liaison.
Partners of gym fanatics should also be wary; “going to the gym” was the fourth most common excuse used by both men and women.
