Hobbies besides golf?

Sitting at home and rotting.........

Seriously though, if the course is open I'll play - anything to get out of decorating.........

Apart from Golf and the Forum I ain't really got time for much else....
 
My kids take up most of my time outside of the irregular old I get to play, mrs rooter is due our 3rd in 4 days time, so that's even less time for golf!

Am a trained chef from before I got into IT, so still enjoy cooking. I am an armchair sports fan though, will wath anything from footy, rugby, f1, moto gp, snooker, darts, racing etc etc.. Used to play rugby and cricket to a fairly decent level until my knees gave up and also used to race motorbikes in road racing endurance...
 
Football and Rugby league fan. Liverpool and St.Helens, mostly armchair or pub these days I’m afraid. I like to go to the local pub twice a week. I was a keen angler, but golf has put paid to that. Now I just fish for trout on my trips to Ireland to my brother’s house in Mayo, 3 or 4 times a year

I am a keen gardener, I have large greenhouse and up to two years ago I used to exhibit in the local flower shows. With quite a few first prizes to show for it. Again golf has ended my exhibiting.

I hope to retire or semi retire soon, so perhaps I can take it all up again. Err! who am I kidding. More Golf I think.
 
Playing guitar (though I've not done this for a while)
Listening to music
Weight training at the Gym (getting a bit addicted to the next day aches again!)

Watching: American Football, football, Rugby (the proper gentleman's one, though I've been known to watch the northerners version on occasion ;)), F1 and most other sports.

I'd like to get back into coaching and/or playing American football again, but it's too time consuming and doesn't leave enough time for golf.
 
I've run a fan club for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the last 28 years and run their website BUCPOWER.COM. Never hurts to have the odd billionaires in the form of Bryan and Joel Glazer of Man Utd ownership as friends!
 
Cycling and watching American sports, for my sins I'm a Cubs fan, I mean I already have it bad enough following England in football, but Cubs trump their pain, been looking for a headcover from them, but can't be bothered importing, when I'm over there I'll pick a few up.

Two of my best mates (who I also play golf with) used to play for the Redditch Arrows and one now coaches the Birmingham Bulls mate if you're interested?

Hobbies for me, 7 week old baby boy......nuff said!

Oh, it's not the lack of team which is an issue. I have a coaching job if I want it at the Bristol Aztecs, who I used to play for, but it's just the time and cost of driving to bristol twice a week.

I also know a few guys who run the team in Gloucester, so that's an option, but it's a 10 month out of the year commitment.

Poor bloke ;)

There's a few Buc's fans at the 'Tecs.

Can you give an unbiased opinion of Winslow Jr. I know he has bad knees, but the Hawks were thin at TE so he could be a decent signing for us. Heard he can be a bit of a diva, but we paid nothing for him and Pete Carroll shows no mercy with stuff like that so he'll be shown the door if he's not "in"
 
Winslow was traded for a conditional 7th round pick based on playing time and receptions this season. He's an ******** off the field, trains when he wants, blocks if he can be bothered and only cares about his stats. And he uses his dodgy knees as an excuse for everything. The Bucs couldn't wait to get rid of him this off season. When I was at training camp at Pennyhill Park last October before the Wembley game, there were two players I was warned to stay away from, Aqib Talib and Winslow. And the rest of the team tended to stay away from him too. Nice numbers, locker room cancer.
 
I'm into unpaid taxi driving for my daughter.

Football took up 4days a week for best part of 23years so don't feel any need to fill my spare time with anything else anymore
 
Designing golf related products is what I do for a hobby! It mainly realtes to my degree that im studying, Product Design, but I have had some fun coming up with new concepts for putters, irons etc.
