Alan-I believe the quote is by Harvey Pineck : Golf- "A good walk spoiled". Do you play? Babe

I don't know the originator of the quote, but sports writer (and fellow Duke (Trinity College) '78 alum) John Feinstein has a book about golf with that title.

Some would argue that trout fishing is spoiling a visit to a beautiful stream. I think of it as enhancing it. That reminder is the only thing that prevents me from labelling golfers lunatics.

lee,

I flyfish and golf, so what does that make me?

btw, since you're a scuba/flyfishing guy, have you ever dove in a trout stream? something I'd like to do myself, but, being from hawaii, I have coldaphobia.

The "good walk spoiled" line is from, who else, Mark Twain. Between Twain and Angelo, harldy any memorable sayings or stories originate elsewhere.

My favorite afternoon would be a 2 hour lunch with Angelo, followed by a 1-1/2 hour break with Pudd'nhead Wilson. Life couldn't get no better than that.

By the way, the shortest set of tees are not the "ladies" tees. They are simply the shortest set of tees, to be used by shorter hitters, be they of either sex.

No, Babe, I don't play golf. I went through a phase of trying to learn it, in high school, but I could never swing worth a tinkers cuss.
