Fishing Lodges  
Golf Courses
 





























Note the name - Redtail Golf Course, not "Golf Club". Round table guests, special invitations, celebrities and the social elite only, but yet we bring the Redtail Golf Course to you. This special episode features no resorts, no fly-in lake - just a golf course. But what a course - one never been filmed before. Having visited the course numerous times, Henry knew there were plenty of largemouth bass in the ponds, so a fish-and-golf competition was perfect. Henry's special guest this week is one of Canada's most celebrated beach volleyball players, Jody Holden. Redtail Golf Course will certainly challenge the competitors, both in their golf game and the bass fishing. It's late fall and the ponds are cold, so the fish will be deep but this October day should be memorable to say the least. Without question, this will be one of Ontario's most unique Fins & Skins Classic Adventures.

 

GUEST :

Canadian & world beach volleyball champion, Jody Holden. Jody attributes much of his beach success to a successful indoor career - 2-time All-Canadian at Dalhousie University, 4-time Atlantic Conference All-Star and MVP. Jody was also a 2-time member of Canada's national volleyball squad and competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, challenging the world's best 2-man beach volleyball teams.

FISHING:

Fishing the golf course ponds for largemouth bass using plastic worms. It is October and the ponds are cold, so a slow approach - fishing plastic worms on the bottom - will be necessary.

GOLF COURSE :

Redtail Golf Course

Chris Goodwin and John Drake, Redtail GC owners and enthusiastic golfers, decided to build a golf course for themselves - a unique hideaway surrounded by active farms with tall silos. The rolling terrain at Redtail GC features deep ravines, tree-lined fairways, 400 acres of forested land and six ponds, all of which hold largemouth bass.

COMPETITION :

Henry and Jody compete at two sports - fishing and golf - with handicap strokes being awarded to the most successful angler and least capable golfer. For bass, each pound equates to one stroke; Jody gets a few extra casts at each pond. Henry gives Jody 2 strokes - front & back - to equate golf handicaps.
