Jim McFadyen has a passion for golf, for his family, for life and for his faith. He is following his dream in Southport in a tiny shop called Mac’s Caddie Shack in the quaint Old Southport Village Shops section on Howe Street.  
Jim grew up playing golf in Massachusetts
“I started playing golf when I was very young, using my father’s old blades with the grips held together with black duct tape,” he said as we talked in his shop last Saturday morning. “I’m a self-taught golfer.”

Fishermen are notorious for excuses. I’m as guilty as the next; if it’s not one thing messing up the fishing, it’s the next. Most likely the habit started as a self-defense mechanism used to protect the fisherman’s ego while dueling with a species that has a brain the size of pea yet continuously seems to outsmart the fisherman.
Over the years, the excuses have broadened to be so numerous and expansive that explaining your way out of a poor day of fishing is really quite a natural instinct. And thus, here is my excuse for this past week of fishing.

The ARCA Racing Series was down to its last two races last Friday with the Kansas Lottery 98.9 at the Kansas Speedway. For Chad McCumbee and the ModSpace race team, it was a chance to wrap up one team’s best seasons with a bang.
McCumbee and Andy Belmont Racing (ABR) have developed into one of the elite teams in the ARCA Racing Series with a top-five ranking and winning the prestigious Bill France Four Crown award. While others are looking forward to time off during the off-season, ABR is still having fun.
