\"The
The pond Stinky Golfer Chris<\/a> grew up fishing in (photo by Greg D’Andrea<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my first memories of a golf course as a kid is going fishing at one.\u00a0 No kidding.\u00a0 I remember a small pond my dad and I would go to that was right by a road, not far from my neighborhood.\u00a0 It wasn’t a spectacular place, but we always caught a few fish every time we went, which was all that mattered to me.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0don’t think I ever really paid much attention to it being a golf course until one time\u00a0when I saw a splash about 30 feet or so away.\u00a0 Thinking it was a fish jumping, I cast my line in that direction.\u00a0 Three or four minutes later, a guy comes wandering by swinging his club through the reeds.\u00a0 My father told\u00a0him; “It went in.”\u00a0 He thanked my dad and wandered off, muttering something under his breath.\u00a0 I remember him being none too pleased.<\/p>\n

Twenty years or so later, I\u00a0hit my ball into that very same pond.\u00a0 And when I did, I remember thinking to myself about that day, that guy and if\u00a0any of his buddies busted his stones the way mine busted on me.\u00a0 Good times.<\/p>\n

I’ve been fishing about twice as long as I’ve been golfing…but I’m just as bad at one as I am at the other.\u00a0 No matter.\u00a0 Much like each other…I do both because I enjoy them, not because I’m good.\u00a0 I don’t always fish at the\u00a0greatest spots and I don’t always play the greatest courses.\u00a0 I don’t have expensive fishing gear, just as I don’t use expensive golf equipment. \u00a0But it doesn’t take away from the experience.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, golf and fishing have several things in common…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They are both very relaxing<\/strong> – \u00a0Well, if you’re doing them right that is.\u00a0 If you’re out on the course or out on a lake and you’re stressed out and pissed off, then you’re doing this all wrong.\u00a0 There are few things more relaxing than standing\u00a0on the side of a picturesque lake, surrounded by trees, birds chirping and otherwise peace and quiet, mindlessly tossing a line into the water.\u00a0 The same can be said for golf.\u00a0 Walking through the grass (mostly the taller grass), surrounded by trees, birds chirping, the occasional furry woodland creature and otherwise peace and quiet.\u00a0 OK, other than your playing partners making fun of the worm-burner you just hammered off the tee,\u00a0what could ruin this?\u00a0 You\u00a0taking it too\u00a0seriously instead of just having fun, that’s what.\u00a0 And speaking of your partners…<\/li>\n
  2. You can do both alone, or with some buddies<\/strong> – You can show up to a golf course alone or with some friends and enjoy your round just as much either way.\u00a0 The same goes for fishing.\u00a0 If any friends or my kids can’t go or aren’t around to go, I’m just as happy going by myself.\u00a0 The only difference between the two being, in golf, unless we’re lucky enough to have the course to ourselves,\u00a0we can’t exactly move at our own pace.\u00a0 In fishing, I move where I want, when I want and do what I want.\u00a0 Speaking of which…<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0You can enjoy a beer or cigar during either<\/strong> – How many other sports can you participate in with a beer in hand and stogie between your jaws?\u00a0 Well\u00a0OK, I guess there’s a few.\u00a0 But it’s more likely than not that in most other sports, it might be frowned upon.\u00a0 But golf and fishing…not only is it OK, it may even be expected.\u00a0 So crack one open and light one up!\u00a0 Just dispose of\u00a0them properly…don’t be\u00a0that\u00a0ass who throws your bottle in the woods or your butt in the water.<\/li>\n
  4. You’re outside on a beautiful day<\/strong> – And let’s face it, that beats being inside on a beautiful day.\u00a0 No, golf and fishing are certainly not sports that are going to give you a good workout like, say, a pickup basketball game.\u00a0 But that isn’t exactly relaxing now, is it? \u00a0Would you rather watch golf on\u00a0TV or actually go play golf? \u00a0Would you rather watch fishing on TV or actually go fishing? \u00a0See what you want to do is participate but still relax…and golf and fishing allow for both.<\/li>\n
  5. Both are life-long sports<\/strong> –\u00a0How many times have you hit the course and seen many older\u00a0players out there with you?\u00a0\u00a0How many times did you go fishing with your grandfather?\u00a0 The point is, both golf and fishing are sports you can continue to play long after you can’t swing a bat with\u00a0any power or beat your defender down the court for a layup.\u00a0 Golfers and fishermen can enjoy their sports years past their athletic primes and still enjoy the sport just as much as they always have.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Here in the northeast, golf and fishing season pretty much run parallel, and the start of both\u00a0are right around the corner.\u00a0\u00a0Despite one possibly taking time from the other, both are sports I’ll continue to enjoy for as long as my body and health will allow me to do so, which hopefully is for quite a long time more.\u00a0 But I will say this, if when I was a kid, I knew what that guy who drove his ball into the pond was thinking at the time, I may have just stuck to fishing…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
