How many of you have other Hobbies?

[Conrad1953]

Have many "former" hobbies as a geezer. These days just golf and when I retire later this year; start

spending more time with my piano. I once had a passion for it and after all these years of rarely touching

one, have found the flame never burned out completely....and now has returned; burning brightly.

[mshills]

Man, I don't know how some of you folks do it! I hardly get to play golf any more, let alone other hobbies, but at other points in my life I have been similarly passionate about:

 

- Freshwater and in-shore saltwater fishing

- Sporting Clays

- Tinkering around with older, interesting cars

- Home improvement

- Gourmet cooking

- Barbecue

 

This season in my life revolves around Son #1's basketball and Son #2 wrestling. Plus work work work work and more work. I do have time to cook one pretty awesome meal per week, but that's about it!

[Fellaheen51]

Besides playing at golf? Once did a lot of fishing. Something that I plan on reengaging with this year. It's a lot whole lot less expensive than golf.

 

Enjoy gardening, have had a vegetable garden forever. Specialize in some degree growing esoteric chile pepper varietals. One's you'll never find at the local grower/greenhouse, have to be grown from acquired seed. Then turning the yields into homemade hot sauces and powders. 7-Pot Barrackpore anyone? It will melt your face off.

I play semi- competetive ping pong...you'd be surprised how much of a workout you get.

[moegolfer11]

Fishing, camping & hikng, trap & skeet, recently just got into archery and picked up a Hoyt Carbon Defiant, I find I get more of a focus and rush by shooting an arrow than shooting a gun. Sounds strange but it's very meditative and much quieter.

Ha I have tried other hobbies but nothing has stuck..

 

- started a tennis team with guys from my club and played a couple different leagues but it fell apart...I really enjoyed this and wish we could start it back up

 

- played a lot of guitar when I was in college and for a year or two when I got out but hardly pick them up anymore

 

- got into guns for a bit, have a few, but its fairly expensive to go to the range to shoot and the nearest range is like a 30 min drive (really wish I had the funds to dive deeper into this)

 

Does binge watching tv/netflix count?? Drinking beer and watching a ball game??

 

Weird living on the gulf coast with water all around fresh and salt and I have never gotten into fishing. Have a group of friends that go out to the islands on Sundays during the summer but I never wanna go, would rather get a good money game.

with the cost of beer being so much in Ontario Canada.... I have started brewing my own. I'm really new to it but wow is it ever fun. If you dont pay attention to costs... they can add up quickly.

That's true of any hobby =P

 

I have/had a bunch of hobbies... now with 4 kids it's a little hard to find time for myself to do any of it. I don't even play golf as much as I would like anymore... probably a round every couple months down from twice a week before my 3 and 1 year olds were born. Past hobbies include:

• motocycles
  
• Arcade game collecting
  
• PC Gaming
  
• rec league basketball
  
• bowling
  
• photography
  
• poker
  

[JerseyBoy]

Hobby wise, I'm a musician first. Been playing an instrument of some kind since I was 4. Been playing guitar for 27 years and it is my passion.

 

I paint Table Top Wargaming miniatures as well. Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar and Infinity miniatures mostly.

 

I used to fly RC Helicopters, but really, you crash them more than fly them. It was soul crushing to see those beautiful machines go up into a million pieces. So I stopped. No matter how good you are at it, you will crash.

 

I also dabble in Videogames and PC games. Not really a hobby at this point as I play for awhile and then get bored.

Arcade game collecting would be cool. I would love to have a room with arcade games from my childhood...Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Cruisin USA, Area 51, Pac Man...that would be cool!!

One of my buddies does this. Has every console ever made with every game for each and also multiple arcade booths.

Music for me. Started drumming and playing guitar in my early teens and still play now (except drums).

Lately I’ve been researching how to build guitar effects pedals and amplifiers.

I think I’m going to try my hand at a builds to see how I like it.

[Rob G 89]

Weight lifting, golf and slot machines only thing I do. Trying to quit the slot machines. I think I have ADD as anything I do requires constant motion and thinking.

Great thread. Aside from golf, I am mostly into cars, roasting coffee, and sipping scotch. Though, I guess the last 2 would be interests, not hobbies.

 

As far as cars, I currently own a 2006 BMW M3 Competition Package (6MT) and a 1987 BMW e30 with a V8 swap (BMW M62). I am currently in the market for a Porsche air-cooled, hopefully a 964.

Seeing as I can tell you are also a car guy, check out Petrolicious.com their content is the absolute best outside of Top Gear and Grand Tour.

I have dabbled on Petrolicious and it is a great website. I will check it out again this evening. I frequent m3forum.net, r3vlimited.com, and pelicanparts.com most often.

I hunt, fish, and golf and pretty much everything that's associated with each. I sometimes will launch my boat and fish from 5am to about 8am then head to the course. If I'm real lucky I can pull the trifecta, fish early am, golf mid morning, afternoon hunt.

[2putttom]

I moon lite as a door man at an upscale Scottish strip Club

[jackzhang]

Fishing

[Schley]

Gambling (poker, blackjack)

Scuba diving (although it has been a few years)

traveling

Strata matic NFL football!

[USAF Retired E7]

I also enjoy crossbow shooting and whitetail deer hunting. My Scorpyd Orion is a beast.

 

Also, I have a Rectec pellet smoker that I love trying new rubs and techniques on different meats.

I'm a big sports fan so I enjoy just following the NFL, NHL, and NBA. I live in the Buffalo area and have season tickets for the Bills and I also like to travel so me and my buddies go see the Bills play a road game in a different city every year. I wish I did more activities outside of golf(I go to the gym pretty consistently but I don't consider that a hobby more so as just something I do to try to take care of my body). One of the things I would like to get into in the future is snowmobiling so it would give me something to do in the cold, boring winter Western New York months.

I am the same with following the NFL and NHL. These long Pittsburgh winter months just cause me to spend money on golf stuff...

I was the same way for a few years buying new clubs, and equipment during the Winter offseason but then I reached a point where I don't need anything now so at least I've been able to save a few bucks this Winter lol

 

P.S. I did a weekend getaway in Pittsburgh back in December and had a great time, fun city!

The sad thing is, I don't need anything either... I do have a golf trip coming up to Pawley's Island at the end of the month so I have that to look forward to.

 

Nice, what did you do in Pitt?

 

Mr. Wolfe

[Animal Chin]

Fishing. Lots of fishing.

 

Also shooting. I'm building a precision .260 right now.

Went down to see the Sabres play the Penguins so outside of seeing the Sabres get embarrassed we went to Churchworks, Primanti Bros, Carson City Saloon for dinner one night, went down to the market area and did a little barhopping to a bunch of places

Nice. I haven't been to a Pens game yet this year. Would like to get to at least one. I love checking out other cities, especially in the summertime when you can walk around without freezing your behind off!

[thug the bunny]

Sheesh, hiking, backpacking, camping, scuba diving, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, kayak fishing, cycling, tennis, guitar.

 

So that's where all my money went... :swoon:

[mjen43]

I like poker. It’s easy to learn and hard to master. You can go infinitely deep into it if you want to, or not, and the competitive + social aspect makes it very fun to play.
