if you did not find the game of golf what would you do or take up?

me i would say motorcross only cause i like the outdoors like golf i not only love the game but outdoor scenery is nice as-well.

how about you fellow sandtrappers what would you be doing if it werent for golf?

In My: Black Titleist sc75 Bag
Driver:  G20 10*

Irons: Soon To Be Titleist 712 CB/MB Combos 
Wedge: 60* Spin Milled Oilcan

Putter: Circa 62 Model 1Putter #2 Vintage Pal

Ball:  E6


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.

I already do more than golf. I would probably just dvote more time to playing lacrosse, playing basketball and reading.

In my freestyle:
Driver: 10.5* G5 with UST V2
F.W. wood: 16* retro raylor with Aldila HM-40 Tour Gold
Irons: i5 3-pw. Stiff cs lite shafts
Wedges: 8620 51*, 56*, and 60* Putter: classics 1 34""Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." -John Wayne


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.

In my Sasquatch Tour Bag:

Irons - S57 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW - Nippon 950GH stiff shaftsWedges - Tour 52°, 60° 56°Putter - 34" TracyBall - Treosoft


Riding my bicycle of course!
THE WEAPONS CACHE..

Titleist 909 D2 9.5 Degree Driver| Titleist 906f4 13.5 degree 3-Wood | Titleist 909 17 & 21 degree hybrid | Titleist AP2 irons
Titleist Vokey Wedges - 52 & 58 | Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter | ProV1 Ball

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.

There are two things you can do with your head down - play golf and pray. ~Lee TrevinoI Like Photography Too


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

    • Day 2 - Played a few holes on the sim, but I feel like some of the numbers were off. Going to re-calibrate and mess around some more.
    • Day 254: did a stack session.
    • I think they were going for this type: Not the type you may be thinking of.
    • Thanks for both of your inputs. I fully agree that if a course has a non-smoking policy, everyone should just respect it. I'm also sure that my team-mate will do so, there is no doubt about that. I was just interested in the official requirements or steps for having this (or any other matter about personal conduct) applied.   Just FYI: We were told by a member about this policy, we haven't seen anything about this in writing so far. I only checked their homepage, but I will be at that club on Wednesday to play a round to get to know the course, then I can ask the reception or caddy master about it. Given that it doesn't affect me personally anyway (as I don't smoke) I will probably not bother to dig any deeper than that.
    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.
