If not playing golf what sport would you be playing?

Yipsy

Pickleball? Fishing? Shuffleboard? Hoops?

As senescence creeps there are less and less sports to be enjoyed but if you were your younger self what other sports did you enjoy participating in?

Yipsy Still playing ice hockey. Figure I’ll play another couple of years till I turn 56 and at that point just hit the gym and play golf.

I was a baseball nut and loved downhill skiing. I saw way too many skiing injuries out there and gave it up. I used to motorcycle a lot as well. There are too many distractions on the road for some people.

Younger age (much younger) - Running, Tennis and Softball...I have the ankle, knee, hip,wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries to show for it. Now - Golf and fishing...most relaxing for me...

I was formerly known as a bowler.
Should still be, but got worried about a knee giving out after tons of floor work/remodeling.
Turns out I've never had any knee problems though. Safe....and sometimes sorry I gave up something I was really good at.

Baseball, Softball and Basketball in my youth

Bowling was always a good time, until the alley that was 15 miles away became condos. Now the next closest one is 30 miles away.

I was a tennis player…so if I didn’t have golf it would be fly fishing and tennis…I play pickleball every now and then currently

Was supposed to play basketball today but nobody showed up to open the gym. Left 20 of us stranded so I ended up playing pickleball.

I would have been a 60 year old MMA fighter. Very thankful for golf, as I'd be dead otherwise.

Used to bowl but got tired of it and threw my equipment away 20 years ago. Just fishing for me. Gardening is really my only other pass time and, like golf, I’m not particularly good at it.

When I was in my teens and 20's, I raced motocross. I also was a Tournament Tennis player many years ago until I blew out my shoulder. 3 torn rotator cuffs and a detached labrum.

After my surgery, I asked the doctor if I could play tennis again. He said "Sure, I'll see you in a year".

I took up golf instead and now have started playing darts again after 30 years.

I'd probably turn to more music/guitar activity
