Golf or your Spouse
I mean...if you're forcing an answer here, I'd probably give them up, as this is hypothetical and my actual wife would never do that. That's quite a personality flaw for them to have unless you are bankrupting your family through golf or something.

Agreed... It’s purely a hypothetical, unless the golf is an addiction to the point it is damaging the marriage (something I have seen, btw).

Give up something you love to do or they'd leave?
Is there a nuance here? Is the hobby bankrupting the family? Is there something burning that they want to do with you? Are you neglecting your chores around the house? Are they otherwise feeling neglected?
If the answer to those questions is "no," the ultimatum is about control.

I would if she gave me no choice. But I would surely take it up again after realizing that I shouldn't be with someone who would give me such an ultimatum.
Such ultimatums are indicative of other issues in the marriage.

No doubt
Knowing this is a hypothetical question. If I were given an ultimatum like that, then I would be dealing with a deeper seeded issue that just golf. It would probably mean that I am neglecting my marriage if it had come to that point. So, I would have to tackle those issues front and center. So, it would be some deep reflection on what kind of husband I had been up to that point and a decisive decision to be better going forward. So, I would have to focus on being a husband first and fitting golf in if possible in the future.
This is my answer as well.. Not even close to being a hard choice

I’ve only had 1 hole in one playing golf so I’m choosing my spouse. (That’s a silly way of saying the same thing as JMan, btw)

Of course I know what your answer would have been, @93civiccpe, because you are such a good guy.

That would be my answer too. Nerfny on the other hand might take golf.

Might be truthful too
Yea that’s the actual answer, but you probably shouldn’t have gotten married to someone who would do this in the first place, which would be the problem. I just can’t see any situation where my wife would tell me to stop a hobby of mine
I would choose a spouse over Golf and it's not even really a question for me. I would hope my significant other wouldn't make such a demand.
