Default To hell with golf, I'm going fishing

I went and played golf for my last time Tuesday. Anything that is that
painful is not fun. Anything that I can't get a decent grasp on in three
months is not fun, either. For $20-$50 for three or four hours of golf, I
can go boating in my little guppy quite a few times. The lake is about
eight miles, and a 40 doesn't burn a lot of gas. Plus, I catch big
rainbows
that sell for $6 a pound at the store. So, time to dust off the guppy,
fix
the carpet, replace some wood, do some painting, get some hardware,
another
anchor, a battery, and ....................

holy ****. I think it may be cheaper to keep golfing.

Go fishing. The white bass are biting. We caught 130 in four hours
yesterday.

The boat could be a problem though...


What boat problem would that be?


The lake where we caught the bass, Shelbyville Lake, has no limit on
white bass. The boat has live-wells on either side that can hold a
substantial quantity of fish. The live wells, 2 per side, are
approximately 3'x2'x1 1/2'. We filled one side of the boat with 130
fish. (The aerator wasn't working on the other side.) A smaller boat
could have trouble with 200 lbs. of white bass.

People, less a large number of liberals and progressives, can be
fairly enterprising. There's always a way, I suppose.

I played at Golf at one time. I despaired of ever breaking a hundred.
Then I discovered the secret and I can do that every time. When I
reach 99 I pick up my ball and head for the clubhouse.

I figured out golf is a great game if you throw away the score card
and that silly rule book. Just enjoy a nice walk in well manicured
grass and hitting the ball. A tee will make it a lot more enjoyable,
no matter where your ball lands. I can come up out of that sand like
Tiger Woods when I tee it up.

To those anal people scribbling on their score cards I just tell them
to apply a suitable penalty to my score and let's get up to the next
hole. I want to hit the ball again.
The people behind us like me since I play "ready golf" and there are
usually some balls left behind if they are willing to go look for
them.


Well, I'll say this about golf versus fishing.

I've never been bitten by a chigger while fishing.

I'm sitting here now with a total of about 75 chigger bites on my
upper thighs, waist, and ankles. Chigger bites are not fun. I think
the last time I had a chigger bite was when I was a young kid in
Missouri. I must have stepped in a herd (or whatever) of them when I
played golf Thursday.

Bad ****.

As to the people writing on their scorecards - it shouldn't take them
that long to write the number 4, 5, 6 or whatever. Hell, that should
be done while walking from the green to the next tee. It's hard to
track your index and your improvement (or lack thereof) without
keeping your score.

I just keep track of how many snakes I see or how many houses I hit.



Best fun I ever had "golfing" was at a driving range in Milford, Ct.
Probably turned into subdivisions by now.

Anyway the range employed a jeep with thick plexi windows and windshield
towing some sort of device that picked up the balls. Naturally, the game
was to hit the jeep with a driven golf ball.

Second best fun was walking around a course at Hilton Head with a couple
of buddies who were actually playing. I don't know why, but my buddies
got upset when I tossed some of the snacks we were hauling around with
us to the alligators. :)

Alligators eating golfers...now that would be something worth seeing.

He raised his children very well. Can you say the same, WAFA? Even
dumb Donnie has a kid who likes him (albeit for his room and board and a
lot of beer).

Carry on, loser.

That's illegal, but you are immune to the law.
