If you stopped playing golf today, what would your next hobby be?

[HomerJSimpson]

Would probably go back to cricket

 

[Spear-Chucker]

More guitar and gardening. Would most likely also add walking to that list and rediscovering sailing too especially as mrs Chucker does lots

 

[IanM]

Fishing......and sailing...

 

[2blue]

Cycling with an e-bike...… if fact I've already started

 

[Crow]

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

 

[Slab]

I might get back into photography but I doubt I’d ever get that passion back to the same level it was (digital both enhanced and then killed my love of it) but I think I’d have to exhaust all forms of golf first including just going to the range or short game area to chip & putt (even if I couldn’t drive a ball)

I would go back to the integra type r engined mini and get it back on the road, do track days and car shows again, son wants to get it on the road. Would like more time and start modifying it further to make it faster and handle better. Had to stop with the mini, due to wanting to play golf and the house work.

On top of that would play more tennis, badminton, cycling and walking.

I would probably go back to bowling during the summer and watch football during the winter. I retired from bowling when I was around 20, usually people retire then take up bowling !! Didn't have time for that and golf.
Also would try and play badminton again.

 

[drdel]

Zimmer frame racing.

 

[bernix]

i'd take a dog and play more bridge

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Played golf for 60 years and never had a golfing holiday, never had an actual holiday until I was nearly 30.
When I did stop playing golf I took up bowls and loved it, not really serious stuff just local village joshing and banter.

Booling in Ayrshire tends to be very social, play a couple of ends and in for a half 🥃🥃 glad I retired when I did, for the sake of my liver 😂

Golf is a hobby for me. Cricket on the other hand, a way of life lol. More important than a hobby. Have grown up a bit these days, so can just play and enjoy the cricket these days.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Bowling is something that interests me. My old man took it up when he retired. I did consider vets football but not sure the knees and other parts are up to it these days.

 

[Oddsocks]

Would start racing motocross again, love it but the older you get more paranoid about breaking bones

Would love to go back to racing tomorrow, having ridden from 8-32 and run a shop from 2002-2012 as well as being involved with most of the uk gp teams throughout that period I know it’s where my heart lies.

Unfortunately a smashed to bits left knee makes it impossible to ride anymore

 

[Grant85]

I would be more productive as a photographer.
Have gotten into this a lot since 2015 and still really enjoy it, but not as productive as I was a couple of years ago.

[Patster1969]

Already play bass in a covers band but we don't get together that much - would maybe look at joining another band?

 

[Khamelion]

Photography. I have a load of pro gear that gets used very little, so would go back to taking photos.

 

[Orikoru]

No idea really. Only got back into golf 3 or 4 years ago as it is. I already play football (although at 32 that's only likely to decrease going forwards), and play in a band.

Going from what others have said, archery and badminton are two sports I've dabbled in once or twice and felt like I could be good at them if I did it more often. Darts is another one I like playing and I'm not bad at, so maybe that would be worth exploring. Can't see myself giving up golf though really.

 

[Britishshooting]

Shooting.

I mainly play golf over summer and shoot over winter now. Just hit the range now and then and if a bit milder with decent ground conditions i'll go have a knock.

Only way really I can juggle my two hobbies but I do waste a good 6 months of golf membership as a result.
