Oh, I golf, hunt, fish, sporting clays, trap and skeet, raced motocross when I was younger, SCUBA dive and read. I would probably just SCUBA dive or really work on my shotgun skills.

Probably would still be playing paintball

I used to PB quite a bit too. Rocked a Timmy with about every do-dad in the book thrown at it. Had some serious fun and thought about making a push to try and make some sort of living with it. Glad I didn't.

Probably at the racetrack on my Triumph 675. Only gotten around to one trackday this year, I was all spooled up to do 2-3 a month until I got addicted to golf... It's a lot cheaper and closer to home, though less of an adrenaline rush!

I have a few hobbies besides golf, mainly motocross and enduro. When Im not on the course, Im going riding. If I didn't golf, I would try to take motocross and desert racing more seriously and get into racing.

Golf is my career so I'll put my answer in that type perspective. That being the case I would be driving a Formula 1 car. If not that, then definitely be involved in the sport somehow. Managing Director, Mechanic, pit crew, lacky, something...

Interesting that so many have been involved in motorsports. I had just got out of road racing in the SCCA (tired of burning through all my disposable income) when I found golf. I agree golf is not as much of an adrenaline rush, but I am much more emotionally invested in golf - my successes and failures mean more to me.

Also I sing and play a few instruments, and usually have a couple music-related projects going on at any given time. If I didn't golf I'd prob be doing more of that.

I'd shoot more sporting clays, and probably pick up a new hot rod project. I've been wanting to build a 34 Ford pickup for a long time now.

I'd probably spend more time fishing, surfing or generally spending time at the beach than I do. Silly thing is I live about 2 minutes walk from the beach but I still manage to spend more time on the golf course.

I would probably continue with sporting clays/skeet. I am quite well so who knows where I could have gone with it.

I would not have sold my turbo Ford Lightning, and would still be going to every dragstrip I could find every weekend.

I still try to make it to the track to ride at least twice a month, but those twilight rounds have definately cut down on my riding time the last few years. That and the wrist surgery that came with it. Im debating on buying a new bike for next year right now.

In addition to golf, i enjoy photography, fishing, and riding sport bikes. If i didn't golf, I'd be doing a whole lot more trackdays on my cbr 600RR.

I would be more active in my other two interests.

Flyfishing and Photography.

That is a tough question...my first sport was baseball, so I suppose if it were another sport it would be that. I'm an Ichiro type but I also enjoy pitching - used to play in an inner city wooden bat league but stopped playing last year because I decided to devote more time to golf
