  • 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.

Typhoon Bocce

I've been in a bocce league for 17 years. It's one night a week from spring through fall. We made it to the finals a couple years ago.

    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.

      An activity that can be played while holding a drink!! The only way to go.

        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.

          The Red Bike was a air cooled CR125 that was converted to water cooled by Leckich Porting and Tuning. Circa 1980

          The white one was a CR250 with a 360 Mugen kit in it. That thing was ALOT of Fun!

          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.

          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.

            Squash. I played in college, and we had a bunch of older guys who have practice with the team. A doctor, a few business men, all former college players who were competitive with us even in their 50s. My plan was to stay in good shape and play At the high level through old age. Unfortunately, my knees didn’t get the memo and Medical school took way more time than I even guessed it would. So my competitor squash careers over by my mid 20s, And by the time I had time, my body was long shot. That’s when I started playing golf.
