Other Sports

[Tongo]

So aside from the main 2 (golf, obviously, and football) what other sports do you play / follow?

I skipper my work's cricket team and watch plenty over the summer whilst i also watch a bit of Hockey now and again and followed the darts fairly closely in recent times.

Play a bit of cricket in the summer, also follow speedway and cycling. Used to do a bit of racing a few years ago but stopped due to work/family commitments, but hoping to start getting back out again soon now a new job means I have a bit more free time.

I do alot of coarse fishing in the summer months and i luv my motorsport, but thats only spectating with rally gb being the highlight.

 

[Foxholer]

Hockey, Tennis and Cricket, both as a player and an Umpire.

Played a bit of Rugby many years ago, and Squash relatively casually (definitely not a great idea!).

Isn't a 19 handicap archer just a little bit dangerous ?

Road cycling for me, nothing competitive purely for fun and fitness.

Cheeky
Archery handicaps go up to 100 and I'm off 17 which is about 4 in golf terms
An 8 inch group at 100 yards is about the same as a trio of birdies or a hole in one

Just NFL (and college football) really.
To be honest I don't really watch golf that much apart from the ones on BBC, I just love playing it.

 

[Old Skier]

Biathalon and X Country skiing in my other life, now it's just downhill. Enjoy going to Exeter to watch the Chiefs and when HID allows, the odd trip to watch the mighty Wrexham

Golf is the only one I now play but when I was younger football, cricket (retired at 50), squash, badminton and until a car accident put a stop to it motor-cycle trials & enduroes.

Nowadays, as a spectator, golf, football, cricket, MotoGP and classic off-road motor-cycle events (not a fan of the modern stuff).

Same for me, just bought a new bike and it's good to be back cycling.

I cannot stand football. Overpaid bunch of prima donnas.

 

[Hobbit]

Used to play just about every sport going. Now its just golf and hang gliding

 

[Cherry13]

Surfing, snowboarding, table tennis then in the summer quite a bit of tennis.

Spectator wise, I like my motorsport, F1 & motogp mainly.

What!!! With those feet

 

[Chisteve]

Tennis and Racketball for me and occasional squash doubles

Use too race mountain bikes many years ago - just restoring my old bike and hoping to use it again on road this summer just for fun

+ skiing .... Once a year for the last 26 years

Rugby is Still my first sporting love. Played for nearly 30 years in the front row until injury made me quit. Even now I would skip a game of golf to watch a decent game of rugby

Boxing & Rugby.

I boxed for the police as a junior and carried on in the forces, I was a very strong Light Welterweight and eventually a Welter. On leave I would play Rugby (Union) and still got involved when I left. I watch both from a distance now losing the passion I had for both, although I did really enjoy going over to Vegas to watch Ricky Hatton against Mayweather.

Just golf for me now, it couldn't be further away from the disciplines of my previous sporting involvements and has done me the world of good, a lot of people around me said I wouldn't take to it or the people involved in it, but I have, although I'm tested at times :smirk:
