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.

I like.

There used to be a show, Fins and Skins, that combined fishing and golf in a celebrity competition.

Then we shoot bows for the Hillbilly triathalon !! I'm in !!

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.

Life's choice, what to do first, fish or golf. The weather normally decides, nice day go golfing, not so nice go fishing.
