Is there such a thing as fish-golf widows? :-)

Here's how it works.

You and your partner start off fishing two ponds on the golf course. There are loads of largemouth and smallmouth bass, along with some channel catfish, in the impoundments.

There also are a few striped bass in there, but they are few and far between - not to mention difficult to catch.

Each fish caught counts as a half-stroke deduction from your golf score. (Panfish don't count - only the big boys.)

And after fishing the ponds for two hours, you trade the rods for the golf sticks.

The golf is played in a scamble, which means both players hit their balls, and then play their next shots from the best lie of the two.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Wow!  My favorite two hobbies in one.

I guess I am not quite a hillbilly as I do not shoot bows.

I kind of pulled this off today. Got up early and went fishing. We caught some nice walleye and a few small mouth. Then played 27 holes this afternoon. Great day.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.

      Day 288 - putted on my mat for a while listening to a presentation. Checking my head movement in the mirror, then just focusing on a good stroke.
