Racing is a hobby, not a sport.

It and other things all fall under entertainment.

Though you can get some exercise if you walk, the game of golf is way too slow for me to get into until I slow down. Maybe many decades from now when I am in my mid 70's I might go for it.

In the 10 or so times I have played, I have gotten two hole-in-ones. I heard the chances of that are so high that I should have been able to win the lottery several times as a more likely outcome.
Both times were lucky, first hole-in-one bounced all over the place, hit a tree which diverted it to the hold.
Second hole in one was toward the end of the course. I couldn't hit the side of a huge barn. Friends said go ahead and hit, you can't hit anything today anyway.
Well, I connected, hit the hell out of the ball and in the great distance saw my ball roll up and into the cup with people on that green jumping up and down all excited.

Total luck. I still want to win the lottery!!!!
