Ah, The Perfect Wave is a true story, unlike Caddyshack (although I'm
sure it was loosely based on real events, especially the Baby Ruth in
the pool and the angry greenskeeper using C4 to go after the moles).

Don't know how surfing got in here. But that's ok.

Should be touch on the subject of fisherman and God?

Neptune and Poseidon. More benevolent Gods than the golfer's
overseer, who is wrathful, vengeful, and shoots lightning at golfers.

And quite rightfully so, IMO.

I beg to differ. If the golf gods are sufficiently satisfied that
you've paid your dues, they reward you with moments of joy.

On my last round this fall, I shot 3 under par, 3 consecutive birdies,
all witnessed by a buddy who usually beats me by several strokes. Not
on that day. The gods were smiling on me.

I haven't played since.
