I play cricket. Our first game of the season was amongst 40-45mph winds on Tuesday evening!

My Archery handicap is 17 which may not mean much to most of you, but it is about the equivalent of a 5 handicap in Golf

The odd bit of shooting and sea fishing, but not much else now. Used to play cricket to a reasonable standard and was once upon a time a 1st cat Road Cyclist until breaking my let in 7 places.

None at the minute. Have played football, cricket, and done bits and pieces of martial arts (including travelling to Thailand to train Muay Thai and MMA), but did none to a level worth shouting about. Wasted too much time as a kid playing football, which I was rubbish at, when I should have spent time playing cricket and golf, which I picked up in my late teens (cricket) - early 20's (golf).

Does hillwalking count? Me and my Mrs have our eyes on doing a few Munros this year so I will have to get myself a bit fitter.

Hillwalking, surfing and I'll say running although I'm well out of the habit after my most recent (2 yrs ago, lol) injury.
Used to play a lot of football but have had far too many ankle injuries and it's basically knackered now so I don't dare play any more.

Carp fishing and 10k running.
My 10k running handicap is 13, which may not mean a lot to most of you but is about the equivalent of 13 in golf terms.

Still play football, although not to a very good standard, just like golf I stopped playing at about 15 and didn't kick a ball again until I was about 21, I was better at 15 but about 1ft shorter and 5 stone lighter. I'll need to find a new Sunday league team when I move up north though!
I've played a bit of tennis, cricket, squash in the past, and I've done the Great North Run twice, and doing it again in September. I should probably start training for that soon if I'm going to better my PB (1hr 42).

Play badminton every week. Ironic thing is that i am probably relatively much better at badminton than I am at golf. Even though I have not had any badminton lessons since I was 10 and spend hardly anything on it compared to what I spend on golf.

Snooker in a local 3/4 table league. Played 8-ball pool for many years to decent standard. Not a sport but also like the mountains (scrambles rather than rock faces!), Lake District, Skye etc.

Snooker once a week, normally Friday or Saturday evening - can safely say i play snooker better than i can play golf!

Just payed my yearly club subs of £35 to the bowling club.
Started last year and love it, just play for fun/banter, not interested in playing sport competitively again.
Also do hillwalking, not so many high ones these days.
Is gardening a sport?

Nothing these days. Use to dabble at cricket (ok wicket keeper but batted #12 with my average) and played an ok standard at footie. To be honest golf takes up all my spare time and the body isn't as good as it was
