Just wondering if anyone else has the same issues I have ... faced with a nice summer day, I often struggle with where to start the day ... the golf course or the lake ...
I love those days when I can do both!!
My fav is chasing smallmouth bass in the morniing (especially when they're slammin' topwaters!), followed by 18 holes before dinner!

I hear you. I enjoy (although I only get to around 5 times/summer) playing golf at daybreak and fishing an hour before sunset on the same day. Good stuff.

Hey where you from in NE WI? Yeah, I do like to fish too. When I had my own boat I fished muskies at least 2 times a week from June thru August. Now I fish for whatever the guy I go with wants to fish for.

14lewdo81,
I'm in Kimberly. Fish Winnebago, Sturgeon Bay and Shawano regularly (mostly for bass) and play Countryside, High Cliff and Irish Waters mainly.

14lewdo81,

I am from Ashland, but I dont fish the big lake much. I like the smaller inland lakes, very peaceful. Many nights there is no one else on the lake.

I like to get out and fish with some of my friends if I'm not golfing. Golf > Fishing, but fishing is still a lot of fun. Can't wait for Spring.

I freshwater fish and well as ice fish. Both of which I do in NE Wisconsin (the Minocqua/Eagle River/St Germain area). Fishing is a nice, relaxing escape. Besides, I mean, I cant play golf or hockey EVERY day! Well, I mean, I could; but my girlfriend probably wouldnt be very happy with me if I did...

I fish also but its saltwater that I enjoy. Problem is going out in a 26ft twin outboard CC doesn't leave much time for golf in the same day. We usually take a couple hours scouting for bait, I throw an 11ft cast net pretty well, when I hit a school of greenbacks it takes some effort to pull that net back in. Then we head off shore running for an hour or two to some reef or wreck. We'll spend three to four hours fishing that and then head back inshore stopping at favorite spots along the way. By the time we get back to the docks I'm worn out. Dropping and hauling anchor at each stopping point is pretty hard work, especially if we make it out into water 100' deep or more. Anyway thats my average Saturday. On Sunday it's time for golf, and if I get time during the week its also time for golf.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I fished from a kayak when I lived in southern Florida. Redfish, snook, and then, the last year or two, shark. Pretty fun letting a shark tow you around for a few hours. Hooked a few 14' shark. They never just headed straight out to sea - very odd.

Here's some redfish work near St. Augustine.

Got the best of both worlds at my club. Get to play and fish. We have 6 ponds on or around our course and I have caught bass over 4 pounds in 3 of them. Really like to fish early in the morning or after a late afternoon round in the summer.

When you can get up at the crack of dawn and jump on the Skeeter and hook some large OR small mouths and then hit the links for a round the day could not possibly get any better.

Hey Erik, don't make it sound easier than it is, Kayak fishing is for the organized and flexible sportsman. (I hated trying to turn around to reach the crate)My 16 footer doesn't get much use anymore now that a CC is available

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I'm flexible and organized, so I guess I qualify!

What I could never do - never even tried to do - was stand in my kayak and flyfish. I know people that would do that. How? I have no idea. I probably could have done it for awhile if I tried, but ... eh. Much more fun to throw your legs over the side and cool off. Kayaks are a lot more stable than you think. I forgot to mention, too, since moving back to Erie I haven't fished yet. After catching snooks, reds, and shark, a bass just doesn't do much for me. I think bass fisherman are kind of the lowest rung to begin with.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.
