Collects over thirty fun, perceptive, and insightful essays by longtime journalist/fisherman Jack Wollitz, who writes with uncommon eloquence as he celebrates the primordial connection of people to fish and fishing "If you want a book that gives you a pure and down to earth take on why we fish, you should give this one a read. Jack Wollitz did an awesome job telling us exactly why through his personal journey." Joe Thomas, TV Host of Reel in the Outdoors The Common Angler taps into the passion that simmers in the souls of anglers and celebrates the primordial connection of people to fish and fishing. Author Jack Wollitz set out to explain the "why" behind the fact that so many people are passionate about fishing and along the way discovered a book's worth of experiences and stories. Early chapters cover the foundation of Jack's own passion for fishing and explore the connection we have with water and the creatures that depend on it for life. The Common Angler explores fishing friendships, relationships, and observations; extraordinary experiences; and the value of personal time on the water. Also included is a whimsical piece that personifies two common waterside fixtures. A key chapter draws parallels between the legendary River Lea in Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, written in the mid-seventeenth century, and Northeast Ohio's Mahoning River and the mighty Ohio River. The Common Angler also provides an insider's perspective about what makes certain people great anglers, featuring two Northeast Ohio men known for their fishing accomplishments, as well as Ernest Hemingway, baseball stars Ted Williams and Wade Boggs, and Rick Clunn, considered the greatest bass angler of all time. The book advances with chapters that explore the development and popularity of competitive fishing, the therapeutic value of fishing when times are difficult, and even the pain and suffering dedicated anglers sometimes endure. The Common Angler concludes with an examination of the obligations anglers shoulder and how we can grow with our passion. "Next time you go to the water, open your eyes wider than ever before. Listen like your ears are amplifiers. Breathe with a purpose, deep and slow, so every molecule of nature checks in with your brain. Feel the sun. Touch the water. Ask yourself why you are there and what you intend to accomplish. Do this and you will be fishing. Do it every time and you will open a new chapter in your life as an angler.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Common Golfer is an entertaining read that examines the 'why' of golfers everywhere - the men, women and children who are drawn to the game and entwined by its charms, challenges, intricacies and idiosyncrasies. Following the success of his The Common Angler (2021), author Jack Wollitz continues his introspection of the passion of people who pursue participation sports. Through more than 40 essays, The Common Golfer asks and answers why we play golf, whether it is work or fun, why we worship the hallowed golf courses around the world, why every golf course has its share of loyal golfers. Wollitz also explores the relationships we share with golfing friends, how we cope with poor weather, wild animals, and dangerous mishaps, and the quirks and eccentricities of people who drill deep in their obsessions with certain aspects of the game. He also looks at the whimsical side of golf, from the question of music in the carts to the clothing considered proper to the tradition of celebrating with a nip or two of strong beverage. The Common Golfer plays forward from hardscrabble cow pastures to country club refinement to Pebble Beach splendor - all the while keeping the foundation of the book at heart: Why are we so passionate about the game Wollitz writes, 'We are common golfers with an uncommon passion for the great game and true believers that regardless of what has transpired up to this point in our round, the next shot we are about to hit may very well be the best we've ever struck.' The Common Golfer is a must-read for golfers and their friends who seek acknowledgement about why they are so driven to the fairways and greens.Jack Wollitz has been a passionate angler ever since he went on his first fishing trip at the age of five. He wrote The Common Angle:r A Celebration of Fishing in 2021. He grew to love writing about fishing as much as actually fishing and has published more than two hundred magazine feature stories along with nearly 1,700 weekly columns in the Youngstown Vindicator and Warren Tribune Chronicle. After graduating with a bachelor of arts in English from Youngstown State University, he worked as a newspaper reporter for The Salem News in Ohio and then joined the editorial staff of the Warren Tribune Chronicle. He later worked in marketing and public relations for ad agencies, retiring in 2018 as director of public relations at positioning agency Innis Maggiore in Canton, Ohio. Jack and wife, Barb, reside in Poland, Ohio, and are the parents of a daughter, Betsy, of Columbus, Ohio.…
