I started studying fly casting reading the classics: Mel Krieger, Joan Wulff and Lefty Kreh. I still enjoy to re-reading their books.
More than twenty years after, seeing a quote from me beside one from Lefty is, simply, amazing.

Thanks, Jason.

“I heard one of the pros say:
—Look at Harvey. He holds the club like it is a fine musical instrument.

That is how a golf club feels to me: like a fine musical instrument…

… Sam said, “I don’t have any callouses”. Sam said he holds the club as if it is a live bird in his hands, with just enough pressure that the bird can’t fly away but not so tightly that the bird can’t breath.”

The Wisdom of Harvey Penick
Harvey Penick and Bud Shrake

— Don’t get into golf! You will get hooked on it! I know you!

That was what a fishing buddy told me some years ago. I followed his advice.

A good golf swing has a lot of allure; not only that, it has some resemblance to our casting stroke as well.
