I
golf two to four times
a year. My best scores
usually occur during
the scramble tournaments
at Ocean Dunes. For those
of you unfamiliar with
scramble-format golf, only
the best shot is played.
Each golfer gets to hit
from the best previous
shot. In this case my shot
is seldom used. I am basi-
cally in the group to elevate
its handicap. However, I
can be useful on the greens
because I can putt. Since
all players’ drives must be
used at least twice, mine
are usually used when I’m
in the fairway; lost golf
balls are a common occur-
rence for me.

Fishing can get a little
tough during these hot
summer days — water tem-
peratures increase, aquatic
weed growth accelerates
and fish get lethargic. Here
are some ideas to help you
beat the dog days of fishing:
• Fish early in the morn-
ing when waters are cooler
and fish are more active.
• Look for fish in deeper
water, where it’s cooler.
• Focus on warmwater
species like bass, crappie,
bluegill and walleye.
'• Travel to higher eleva-
tion lakes and streams
where the water, and you,
