What hobbies do you have? I like working on cars and motorcycles. Finally getting my car lift installed.

I’m jealous!
Nothing full blown at the moment.
I like to golf, but am not really good enough to call it a “hobby”.
I may restart kayaking next spring.
Does alcohol and bad decisions count?
That was damn near my profession in my 20s!
Nice work KC, bit of a one trick pony right now with my riding. We’re about to go back to Georgia where I want to get back to working out and volunteering at local mtb trails. This spring I want to get paddle boarding again.
That’s the best kind of Hobby.

Golf, weight lifting, bowling.
Rolled myself a 289 recently…new personal best!
My golf score isn’t anywhere near there yet. Best I’ve ever done, with strict adherence to rules, is 42 on 9 holes.
I’ve put on a ton of muscle, but started out super weak for a man and am still sorta weak by my estimation. Work in progress…been at it for two years, have the second half of a lifetime to go.

Damn!!
Probably double of what I could bowl.
To be completely honest, that could well have been a freak accident, never to be seen again. Previous personal record was something like 264 or 268 and happened over ten years ago. 
Here is a type of bowling, that is only on the East coast as far as I know.
The pins are smaller than ten-pins and the balls are also smaller[without holes]
I have not bowled competitively since the 90s.
My average was about 150, my high was 201
I never bowled competitively but back in the 80’s I bowled a lot more often. Me and a friend were bowling on a weeknight and they had just started the automated sccoreboards. I played the best game ever that night and still left a little pissed off
I was bowling strikes in the first 9 frames and our score card above us showed that. I went up tor the tenth frame and the whole place was quiet and a crowd was gathering around. First two shots were strikes -one more and I’d have a perfect game. As I was about ready to roll the third, the silence was broken by a guy saying “I wonder if he’ll pick this up”; And I got a 7-10 split. I’ve never gotten anywhere close again.
I never got into golf, I’d start the round decent but if I had a bad hole I’d get frustrated and never recover. I lift regularly but I wouldn’t call it a hobby. I haven’t bowled in 30 years, when my wife and I were dating we’d go to this old bowling alley on the north side of Chicago that had red pin on Thursday nights. It was a buck a game, a buck for shoes, a buck a beer and if the one pin was red you’d yell up to the counter and if you got a strike you’d get a free game. We’d usually take my Harley and take Lake Shore Drive back to my apartment, good memories.
The meltdown holes are what ruins me also.
Maybe I’m just weird but the frustration of playing poorly drove an obsession to get better. I’m way better now than I used to be.

That is one reason why I break it up into 9’s.
A meltdown hole will only ruin half a round
Started golfing when I was about 12 years old. My father bought me 2 clubs, a 7 iron and a 3 wood. Used to practice at a local playground[can’t do that nowadays].
Quit the game in the the late 80’s when the game of golf became more and more popular. Rounds were taking around 5 hours.
Worked the night shift for 30 years and could play 7 days of the week if I wanted
Had a membership at a local golf course. Course was not that difficult. If I went to a different course, my score would usually be in the low 80’s. Managed to get 2 under Par 68’s twice.
If you want to get good at the game, you just can’t play weekends and expect to see lots of improvement. You need practice,practice, practice.
I’m ad admitted hacker at golf, but when I was a kid we lived in the country and I used my brothers left handed nine iron to hit balls in the back property, even though I’m right handed. I swung it like a baseball bat but the ball went far and straight. Years later I was playing using right handed clubs and I sucked. My wrist kept turning and I was hitting the ball with the face of the club pretty much parallel to the ground. So one day I rented left handed clubs. While I’m still a hacker, I play a lot better left handed. Mostly because I am pulling the club with my right arm and my wrist can’t twist.
