An Up Nort’ Report

You can’t just fish all of the time. Sounds crazy, I know, but my wife has actually made that assertion on multiple occasions. The same thing goes for hunting once fall rolls around. Apparently, you can’t just hunt all of the time either.

Assuming there is even a grain of truth in those theories, I’m thankful that there is golf. When I retired and moved to the Northwoods four years ago, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of golf courses within an hour drive from my new home. My wife and I have held an annual pass at the Eagle River Golf Course every year since. Nice course and only 10 miles from my house.

Admittedly, the golf season up here is a month or two shorter than it is in central or southern Wisconsin. As I write this, I’m looking forward to watching the Masters next week while there is still 20 inches of snow on our course here. Practice-putting on a mat in the basement is starting to get old. Hopefully, we’ll be out actually hitting balls by early May.

So, if you’re headed to the Northwoods with your boat this summer, make sure to throw in your golf clubs. You know, you can’t fish all of the time. Just sayin.’
