My golf experience is limited to sneaking onto the Rolling Hills golf course in Tucson, AZ as a boy with my buddies, catching catfish out of the water hazard, and being chased off by the greens keeper. It was great sport.
Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Same here for golf courses all over South Florida. Didn’t catch too many catfish, but lots of bass, tarpon, snook, and more recently peacock bass. Like I said earlier, it’s the best freshwater fishing down here. I mostly stick to salt now.
You know that course in Pembroke Lakes?
Lots of nice looking water in there but I think they'd run you off. Sonsabitches were uppity.
Absolutely, Taft and Palm Ave. my cousins and best friend grew up living on that golf course. We were pretty young, but fished the hell out of it when I was there. The golf course ranger used to chase us on his golf cart all the time, and was very familiar with all of our parents. Now there’s peacock bass everywhere around there (and most of the other canals and lakes in the area), which weren’t there when we were kids.
My Grandmother lived in Century (Cemetery) Village on Pines just before I-75. We were able to get past the guard gate in front because of that and fish that course too. Caught a lot of fish there too.
I grew up east of there in Hollywood, closer to the beach. Because it was close to the salt, we had a ton of saltwater fish which either became landlocked or adapted to the freshwater. While the only game in town out west was catching bass, we caught bass plus tarpon, snook, jacks, snappers and an occasional shark on the East golf courses.
What I always failed to understand what’s why folks would pay a guide to go fish at the lake (Okeechobee), when we would out fish them 10 to 1 with larger fish fishing the local canals and lakes, plus catching saltwater fish too.
Guess I caught the fishing bug too early to be caught up with golf. My Grandfather played quite a bit, and took me along when I was young to drive the cart. I always brought a fishing rod and fished while he golfed.
Good schit.

FUGK CCP
It’s time to WAKE UP GOD BLESS THE USA WWG1WGA THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES
I used to hit one ball a day out into the horse pasture with my old 3 wood. Teed it up from my dirt two track driveway with my faithful retriever watching. One swing and away she'd go. 200 yards into the tall grass couldn't stop her. She'd drop that ball back where it was hit from every time.
That was the only golf I played for several years. Probably the most fun too.
Impressive.

Some guy took me to a drive range to show me how it works and I was crushing it like Daily used to.. they talked me into joining a league and I did that for a few years...
Result - you get to learn what type of person is the second they run into strife on the course.
Finding a “short game” is harder (at least for me) than smoking a LONG drive.

I play four to five days a week since the Believers shut down my local USPSA. It has been a fine substitute.
As I've said here not so long ago, I just started last August.
I just bought a new set of Ping 410's (I liked the Callaway's better but the Pings were much less at the time) with a 410 Driver and a new Ping putter. I got a 3 and 4 420 Hybred but no woods, can't hit a wood to save my azz. I'm still getting used to them. Started last year with a set of Tour Edge cavity backs and a Taylor Made M2 driver. Gave them to my son when I got the new clubs. Still getting used to the new ones and I still suck but I take a flask of Whiskey with me every time I go and have a great time.
I have back issues and need surgery so I am pretty worn out after 18 holes but I've done 36 before. Usually drunk by the end though.
I bought a set of used clubs for $150.
There's a bastard 8 iron in there but otherwise it's a set of Pings.
And a Cleveland.
And a Taylormade.
And another Cleveland.
LOL

Yeah I guess if a guy moves some place over ran with people with no decent hunting you could almost see him taking up golf. Kind of like some straight guys that get sent to jail for a long time and end up full fledged knob gobblers by the time they're out. Life's cruel.
