Late Season Golf Outing

[Got Stripers]

If the reels are stored and the sticks are still in your trunk, anyone interested in round of golf before the snow flies, might be a fun get together to avoid raking more leaves. I like to play Newport National at least once or twice once the winter rates are here, my course is Atlantic in Plymouth, which is in great shape right now and has good rates.

Did u see my text last weekend, God only likes Wednesday's LOL

I would have been up for it if it wasn't 6 days to Thanksgiving. We have company, house guests, grandkids and a new puppy all in the house at the same time. For me not a good time to take a day golfing.

I will play all winter if courses don't close, played yesterday and squeezed in 18 this morning ahead of the rain, it's my gym workout brisk walk (I typically don't take a cart) and fresh air. Black Friday, 60 degrees and sunny, I'm definitely going to target playing that day, let me know.

Atlantic is a great course, I use to play a lot when I was younger. I've putted for eagle twice on hole 4 and drove the green hole 9, never had a short game....

Needless to say never got an eagle and on the day I drove the green I scored a 4, Sadness!!!

[Got Stripers]

Drove to just below the green on 12 Saturday and wedged in for an eagle; unfortunately never saw it roll in. That one and 15 with a little tail wind are green lights for me to go at those greens.

The fact that a golf-related thread is at the top of the list in mid november
is a real downer...

Impressive!!!

A few years back I was invited to play at Granite links in a scramble. When we arrived we learned they changed it to best ball. We ended up having a lot of fun. We played the Milton course, hole 7 is the best memory, the group wanted me to go last because they thought I could reach the green. 323 yards par 4. All 4 of us tried to crush our drives, 2 landed in the fairway, 1 hit a pop fly like Jim Rice and I landed on the green and rolled off the backside.
Then I chipped over the green and then I chipped back over the green, needless to say I scored an 8. Drive for show put for dough, not me.....
That is why I enjoy fishing more than golf...

Anyone up for Sunday, looking like mid 50's, be playing atlantic but could be talked into Newport national; assuming we can even get a tee time.

Strippers on Thames?

(yeh - that is how I read it)

[Got Stripers]

It's just a change in the way I get some fresh air and exercise; what a weekend to do it too. Although when I was teeing it up yesterday and looking at the glass surface of the pond on 15, I couldn't help but think back to how many times I'd have taken advantage of a weekend like this fishing somewhere.

In my freshwater days, I'd have been out on mill pond or the agawam (never quite sure what to call it) river watershed in Wareham, a place you couldn't move a bait thru in the summer due to the millfoil. The water would be cold in December but on a still day like this rapala sitting still on top over the now dying weeds with a twitch every minute or so would tempt some nice largemouth and some gater pickeral. That same spot in the spring a long, long time back was a lock to catch some sea run browns and an occassional smallmouth who somehow found it's way down from Glenn Charlie Pond.

When I moved to saltwater and discovered the Thames winter fishing, man a day like yesterday would have had that harbor covered in boats of all types and sizes, but there were tens of thousands of stripers willing to bite on a warming trend like we have had. I think on a day similar I landed my largest a 42 lber and on 10 lb fluro and light spinner to make it a bit of a challenge. A catch of 50 stripers was a slow day back then.

Then an old board member passed on a sweat spot in Mass that saved me a lot of driving and the purchase of a CT license and put me on shallow water for a lot more fun. Clammer knows the spot and boy didn't we have some fun on a weekend like this, which would almost guarantee you a handful of keepers too. On a day like yesterday with my son, we landed six fish over 20 lbs on a warm January thaw day, all caught in water that was 2 feet deep.

Well I have a ten am tee time, so I'm going to grab a cup of coffee and do some stretching, but it was a good trip down memory lane. I hope to have a boat or kayak after the winter shows, so next year if the pattern repeats, I might have to wet a line on some of those old spots to see if there is any life left in them.

Mike at least I have some balls and white is better than blue balls ever day of the week.

[Clammer]

lol >> it ain,t the blue balls .Its the $$$$$$$ for the blue pill >>>>>>>>>>>>> yeah we had some great times fishing holdovers ..But I,m fine with not getting my ass kicked fishing with you in the Thames /

can you say slashed tire

[Got Stripers]

Yeah, I still think we are lucky that was all that nut job slashed; we are lucky he didn't track track you down. I think with all the mother and girl friend insults you threw at him, I'm surprised he didn't dive off the dock and try to board my Lund to have at you.

After talking to the officials and learning he was a nut job, I think we are lucky he wasn't waiting for us at the ramp later. That May pattern was yet another one that evaporated with the loss of the stocks, too bad that was a fun start to the season.

We need to fish together this year.

[Clammer]

yeah or @ least find a place to bea Hooters for the old gang ><><

My boats still in.I snapped the steering cable & helm on 10/26/15 & just left it there ><<><>
