I enjoy being outside on the golf course playing with family and friends. Golf in many ways is like life and is always a good time.
Many people won't understand it, but hunting and fishing allows me to connect and appreciate nature in ways that a lot of people do not get to experience. I do some of my best thinking and feel most at peace when participating in these activities.
