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!!!!
haha.....I work out about 8 hours a week and I always thought that golf was more a drinking activity....well at least the way I play it...........
You should have played the lottery on those days that you had a hole in one.
great story.
i played golf with a friend years ago who looked like an axe murderer. shaved head, tatoos head to toe, every concievable part of his body pierced. it was his 1st year of play. we teed of in front of a 600 year old ladys league.
when we got to #9 hole they were still having groups teeing off. (believe me he was not appropriatly attired) way too much of his being was exposed. well i hit 1st , a par 3, hit the green then i walked over to the side as he fired away. yup, lousy hit except the ball, which never got off the ground, rolls the 147 yards straight into the hole. i'm hopping up and down and the 3 groups of blue hairs on tee #1 start coming over to congradulate mark. the closer they got you could see them totally regreting their zeal to shake his hand. but in all the class they could muster they did their coudos and darn near ran back to their tee box. what a hoot.
i'm 55 and have played since about 1959. did not get my 1st hole in one until 1999. i now have 6. :-)
