    Favourite Hobby (besides golf)

    Just curious on what people do when they are not swinging the sticks.

    Currently I dont have any hobbies besides the gym as I am tied down with work and school. But I do like to get out and play some hockey. I also try to get a few guys together every couple weeks or so to play some poker.

    What about you?

    I play hockey when I can and I spend a lot of time these days looking for a better job.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Guitar is one I forgot. I am not very good at it though... I pick it up for a few weeks,then I put it down for a few months... haha..

    I slowly keep getting a bit better over the years.

    1. The Rules of Golf. Help with a weekly study group with those who officiate for the OVGA.

    2. Fitness. Skate or run or snowshoe or walk or cycle(in season) for at least one hour, every day. Plus workout(weights/machines) one day and stretch, the next.

    3. Hit balls 3 times a week.

    Snowboarding - just trying to keep up with the kids.

    Camping (28 ft travel trailer) - goal is to visit all continental states, provinces and territories before the kids leave for university (half-way there already).

    Yoga

    Poker

    My arms were tiny when that shot was taken, considering it was the eighties and I was only 12 years old I was still pretty damn cut. Christ I miss that headband, we saw alot of action together.

    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I took up downhill skiing this year after a 23 year absence. I was a joke. I can't believe how much more difficult it was than I remember.
    Also joined the local curling club this year. That is fun, and I'm convinced it will help me with my putting. Remember, curling is just line and weight.

    Lol... I am from Northern Ontario... I have to travel 100 kms every Thursday to play BBall but it is worth it.

    I played lots of ball in the Ottawa region in the late 70's and early 80's before I move in beautiful Northern Ontario.
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
