Fantasy Fishing and golf on T.V.
O.K., I’m going to rant a little bit here. First of all, I don’t mind golf. It’s pretty fun to play if it’s a nice day out and no I’m not any good! But, golf on T.V.? I had to watch the Masters yesterday on T.V. and I must say it was about as exciting as watching paint dry. The hushed voices of the announcers, the swoosh of the club, the view of the ball in the air (where is it again?) and the famous “golf clap”, really made me want to scratch my eyes out.

I will say, though, not every tournament is that way. The ones that are tight at the top are. Let’s go play sometime now that the weather’s getting nice.
