Dear Abby column letters about golf widows and family gifts
A reader laments women golfers who "borrow" husbands at clubs and seeks Abby's take. The column responds that men prefer golfing with men and that flirtation in mixed groups often ends without follow-through. Another letter asks what a girl needs to be well-liked beyond traits. Abby also comments on a daughter and mother-in-law gift dispute, suggesting senility as a possible explanation for the mother’s thrift and poor gifts.
