[s8e1] Fun With Debra -

The golf outing initially starts with optimism, but quickly descends into the familiar bickering that defines the Barone household. Ray, who views golf as a sanctuary from domestic pressures, feels his "space" is being invaded. As Debra begins to improve at the game, Ray’s insecurity surfaces; he blames her shadow for distracting his putts and accuses her of trying to ruin the one thing he loves so he won't want to do it anymore.

The resolution of the episode is both humorous and realistic. Debra eventually admits she actually hates golf, and her attempt to force fun was a failure. Ray, in a rare moment of honesty, admits that while he loves spending time with her, the comforts—and perhaps the occasional boredom—of a twelve-year marriage make him "forget" to seek out the spontaneous fun they once had.
