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).
If not playing golf what sport would you be playing?
Still playing hockey. And keeping up with grandkids, which sometimes is rougher and more of a workout.
Played sports year round as a kid, baseball and basketball mostly, a few years of football followed by a few years of soccer (talk about a difficult sport to pick up for someone who never touched a soccer ball until 10th grade). Had many accomplishments growing up ran fast, through the ball hard, and could pretty much do it all. After HS I gave up competitive sports, but played rec league basketball, softball, and some sand volleyball (a few years in my 20s playing 2 vs 2...need to be in shape to do this sport = grueling). Finally gave up on all of that mid/late 30's and got into golf. I quite enjoy all aspects of golf and wished I knew now what I didn't then and would have loved being an architect/designer!

I was a competitive swimmer from age 8 through HS and then undergrad college. By the time I graduated, I never wanted to see another pool unless I'm tossing the grandkids around or sipping a margarita.
When I was a teenager I played hockey, tennis and racquetball, then in my twenties I discovered broomball (sort of a combination of hockey but played with shoes on ice with the pace of soccer). I'm now in my 60's so I don't play anymore, but I've been a referee for over 30 years and will probably continue to do so until I can't run anymore. It's a great winter sport, and combined with golf in the summer it keeps me active and in "reasonable" shape. Probably a big reason why I can still walk 18 holes all the time.

I played baseball up until I quit college. Played a shitload of hoops until a knee injury, in 1997, iirc. Played a ton of softball until '06, then strictly golf, until another knee injury in '18. Now I just work and sit at home. Nothing, nada, zero, zilch. Hell, I don't even drank any more (3 months). Just waiting to cash in my chips, I reckon.
Pro Motocross. No other sport like it where everyone goes to the first turn at once. Not like pussy sports were they put the fastest drivers/riders up front.
Good old days....

I think I miss the Trials bikes most of all.

Bob "Hurricane Hannah" at High Point late 70s.
Some one was jacking him. That's why they are looking towards camera and smiling. Before they ate his roost.

My favorite action photo. And no, I did not lose it.1974 Yamaha YZ 125.
My favorite Maico. 1978 400. 3rd gear hole shots many times. I only weighed 115 lbs back then.
Funnest bike to ride that I owned. 1974 Honda CR 125 Elsinore. Tricked out with Redline swing arm, Poppy bodied Koni shocks, DG pipe, DG radial head, DG ported cylinder and bigger carb. Fastest 125 around. Had over 40 motorcycles. You can probably understand why I am broke now.
