Forbes Magazine has the golfing community in an uproar after it dared  publish the Top 10 PGA holes that contain Monster Bass. I was a bit perplexed at the ferocious response by golf’s governing entity, as almost every major publication has already exposed Tiger’s favorite 10 holes …

… and as “Chee-tah” doesn’t play public courses it’s a surefire course lifelist for them as ply both crafts.

… he usually returns to the hole in the late afternoon, when most golfers have left the course. He slings casts right from the green. "There are some huge bass in that pond," he says. And there’s plenty of room for your backcast.

There’ll be plenty of incensed blue bloods with gendarmes at their beck and call, but it would make a hell of an alternative fly fishing video, what with the face paint, tallboys, and enraged patrons wearing plaid.

Baird is part of an unofficial PGA Tour fishing club, a group of players that brings along both rods and clubs to tournaments. The water hazards they avoid during competitive rounds? With rod in hand, those ponds and creeks transform into fishing sweet spots. Many courses in the country frown upon fishing the hazards, but look the other way when it comes to Tour pros. At Sawgrass, only Tour players are allowed to fish.

… legally, perhaps. But the half dozen lawsuits filed by Trout Unlimited, whose board members actually want to play there, but aren’t rich enough, will blaze the trail for the rest of us more pedestrian fishermen.

We’ll be quiet as church mice, and apologize profusely if some predatory heavy-gutted Largemouth decides to tail walk through the lilies and fetch both our fly and that errant tee shot.
