I like golf, picked up a new driver this winter. It's good to play at different courses.
Two Plus for golf: you can just grab your set of clubs and golf shoes and are good to go. End up using most all of your clubs. The hours are much easier on you
Fishing: bring at least 2-3 rods, tons of plugs, different surf bags,waders, hooks ,leaders ,stuff for chunking........ and still manage to forget something, then only use a hand full of the stuff you brought.
For family and friends who do not fish but, play golf "Why do you need so many fishing rods? Well, you need different rods for different fishing conditions, big,small, surf,boat, fresh water, salt water, different size lures ect..." "When you play golf you bring about 12-14 clubs with you, why not just bring 2-3 clubs. They usually say " well I bring them all I might need that club during the round" Well thats why I have at least 13-15 rods....
Usually they just don't get it
I do not know who came up with the above, analogy but I like it.
