  • If not playing golf what sport would you be playing?

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.

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.

    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 played competitive basketball. I was also on the swim team. Basketball and golf have always been my favorite sports. Too skinny and weak for football, but I loved playing intramurals. I'm good at table tennis, too; came in third in my county when I was younger.

    Still bowl (mostly weekly) and in the summer, vintage base ball (yes, 2 words).

    In younger days, basketball and tennis.

    I'd probably be trying curling. There's a place that does curling that isn't too far from the barn, I might have to go and check it out. It does look like fun, aside from freezing my nuts off...

      Is golf really a sport ? I guess if the IOC considers chess to be a sport so must be golf.

      Whats that line from Meet the Parents
      " it's just a game Focker "

        Weirfan Is golf really a sport ?

        Was it George Carlin who said "Anything that you get better at the more you drink isn't a sport"?

          I'd probably still be playing racquetball.
          Played at a pretty high level back in my 20's and 30's against some of the best
          players in SoCal, which was the mecca of R-Ball at one time.
          Pickleball is pretty fun too,just much slower.

            Not sure what else I would play now. Played many sports as a kid, but was really only good at baseball, but I didn't love the game. I used to play softball, basketball and volleyball until I was about 45.

            I didn't really appreciate golf until I hit about 40 (started playing at 30) and my ankles were shot and anything involving a lot of running and jumping was becoming very painful. I've pretty much only played golf the last 10+ years. Some sort of winter sport or activity would be nice, but I hate the cold so I haven't even been skiing in 10+ years either.

            Bravopilot they do, then again, some on the pha look serious about golf. Even the ones who can't win a major (i.e. Rory).

              Still playing hockey. And keeping up with grandkids, which sometimes is rougher and more of a workout.
