Which game/sport should kids not play?

[Doon frae Troon]

Cricket and golf do not generally mix.
I once played in the 1970's with Ken Barrington a good test batsman who played off a very 'artisan' 4 handicap.
Of the same era Ted Dexter was a very stylish batsman and golfer who played very low [1/scratch]

Probably not advise a youngster to play shinty if he wants to keep his brains intact.

Mini golf... Those boundaries give you too much to fall back on!

Not the same on a proper green.

Tiddly winks. It really doesn't help with your chipping as much as you would think.

 

[Iaing]

Dominoes.
Although it will teach the youngsters basic arithmetic.

Nothing wrong with MMA at all have done Taekwondo & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for years and when I took up golf didn't hinder me at all in fact it helps with flexibility. It's also great for kids learning discipline, patience & confidence.

There isn't a single sport that I don't think kids should try even my hatred for cricket wouldn't stop me letting my kids do it.

in my reference to MMA I meant real mixed martial arts, not just high kicks and Brazilian group hugs. Having shoulders popped out, sockets, arms or shins broken is going to hinder the poor kids chances of progressing. Even Bones Jones would've struggled to play 18 with his broken big toe after the sonnet fight.

Come on keyboard warriors, lighten up.

Let them play or watch any sport except Football. Then there is no chance of them boring the hell out of their future playing partners with 3 hours of mindless drivel about Scorchio's marvellous volley, or whether some other herbert is worth his £500k p/week.................Why oh why do Golf clubs attract every Football bore from the surrounding area.............
