Is golf your only hobby?


Bob9604

Recommended Posts

I have too many hobbies and seem to rotate from one to the other. I love golf, I race 1/4 scale R/c cars and I have a couple old cars (52 Chevy and 72 Chevelle) that I tinker on. Not to mention past with slot cars both track and drag racing. With retirement coming in a couple years I am going to have to thin some stuff down. My daughter play travel softball year Roy d so I don't have a lot of time for any of them. She will be in n college in 2 years so hope to have some more time other than watching her play in college.

Haha I have had the last 60 days or so off work... I have been learning Spanish as well. No bueno, pero, estoy intentado.

 

Hobbies... Golf, Cycling, hiking (not that frequent though), traveling (and not just to play golf... I kind of travel a lot and really enjoy it)... skiing/snowboarding. And my PS4 gets a nice workout from time to time. Especially since I haven’t worked in 60 days.

 

Oh and cars. I love cars. Grew up doing HPDEs with my father. And while I haven’t been on the track in a few years, I’m still big into cars and love them. Recently bought my first true ‘sports car’ and drove it from Columbus Ohio to Phoenix. Good times.

1) I'm a general-purpose tinkerer so any excuse to tinker is a good one. Golf is the main outlet, but there's also time/$ for RC trucks and quadcopters, home improvement, experimental cooking, anything DIY.

 

2) Anything that gets the family out of the house and away from our TVs/Phones, Beach/kites, disc golf, gardening, travel.

 

3) Gaming hobbies (chess, poker, card/casino games, dominoes, sudoku, sports betting, etc). I think they're great ways to practice math, logic, and career-relevant social skills like reading people, dealing with success/failure, handling pressure, and managing risk/reward strategically. And they're fun.

 

I also have a thrift-shopping and deal-hunting hobby to support the hobbies above and other family activities.

It’s nice to come across fellow RC enthusiasts! I raced 1/12th carpet, 1/10 4wd Touring Car on carpet, and 1/8th nitro on-road for a while. I also have rc airplanes, helicopters, and slope gliders (SoCal thing).

I love golf

Fishing. I like getting the kids out for local trout, bluegill, etc. Then, I make an annual long-range tuna trip. So far, all trips have been out of San Diego. Looking at some albacore up north someday too, and going after a grander bluefin out of Prince Edward Island. Nothing better than a freezer full of tuna, dorado and yellowtail...

Not so much a hobby as a pain in the arse I can't seem to get away from is coaching little league baseball and football. The kids are great. The parents need to be electroshocked.

I'm the asst coach for our local HS golf team. Had an invitational yesterday and one of the opposing players had an argument with their parents on the course. His mom went home. Poor kid almost walked off the course. Why can't parents just spectate? Sad.

Kid from winning team goes up to collect the first place trophy and while walking away yell's "suck it"! SMDH

Back when I used to coach I said I wanted to put together a team of orphans so I would not have to deal with parents.

Golf, wine, cooking/food, travel - luckily, these are not mutually exclusive.

Cooking (BBQ specifically). I have an assortment of Weber grills of varying sizes (18.5", 22.5", Ranch Kettle, Weber Smoky Mountain). Two weekends ago I made this feast for a group of friends: Pulled Pork, Corn Salad, Cole Slaw, Collard Greens, Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread, Deviled Eggs. All cooked from scratch by me. I do this a few times a year and love it.
