What's up with the golf comment? Actually having an understanding of aerodynamics helped me become scratch golfer. I feel knowing how temperature effects lift and spin helps me more then anything I could pick up in a golf book.

And I would ask everyone how can you ever really truly enjoy flying without feeling, sensing and knowing the air and how it interacts with your airplanes. You might as well take up golfing as a hobby/obsession.
