    What golf has in common with fishing...........

    Ok I noticed something Sunday that relates my golfing abilities with fishing.....which for what it is worth after I am done this post will make alot of sense. A golf ball weighs about the same as some of the lures we throw at great lengths to get the fish that we catch. So here is the deal.....on Sunday I was throwing a rat-l-trap and alot of cast when the wind was howling. So my point is a few years back when I was playing golf in tournaments and it was windy I could figure the wind off the tee and drive the ball 280-290 and put it precisely in the fairway. Ditto when hitting to a tiny hole on the green.....So when throwing a lure it works the same way in getting it to land where you want to in a crosswind. Also when throwing the lure into the wind I would imagine hitting a knock down shot to keep the ball low and the lure would stay low and fly farther.

    So there you have it....I have correlated golf with fishing....

    Don't be so quick you don't always know everything about everyone. I lived in SoCal for 13 years, and worked part time as an Assitant to the Pro at Castle Creek Golf Course. And I lived with my best and his wife for 7 years he worked for Calloway for 8 years as a designer, I have play my share of golf and on some of the best courses in the country. Before I left for Recruiting Duty, I had my handicap down to 2.

    I thought the common items were swearing...spending money on stuff that you really don't need because it's you, not the equipment...making fun of your friends when they fall in the lake...taking cover during lightening...and exagerating the truth on length...

    There's got to be more, but those were the immediate thoughts.

    This statement here brings back memories......doesnt it Jack H. My region partner fished on and I climbed up underneath the console on Kerr. Storm was bad...and he kept right on catching fish.
