[pct-l] why do you like hiking? - Play some golf anyway !

[scourtway@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Courtway)]

on golf, one of the main reasons folks get addicted
to golfing is that it is played in hyper-real "natural"
surroundings, one of the main elements of the hike
which strikes the hikers, as well.  So, you can see,
both sports are closely related.
