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.
If not playing golf what sport would you be playing?
Shuffleboard and Bocce
- Edited
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...
Walterjn Those players in the Olympics look serious about curing.
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 "
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.
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.
