If golf did not exist, what would YOU do?

[PEZGolf]

I know what I would do------------------I would invent it, and name the 19th hole after myself---------"The Publisher's Pub". It blows my mind to think of LIFE WITHOUT GOLF.

[BSweet]

Wrong board, but I'd definitely be playing poker.

[damkader]

Probably spend time doing my other hobby, Photography.

[chris408]

Spend my momey on my other hobbies...scubs diving and mountain or road biking.

[FlopShotArtist]

Play baseball.

[xTsUnAmI]

play one of my many other hobbies, which I do already when not golfing.


Table tennis (really awesome sport), basketball, baseball, and play a lot more poker.

[Dent]

I think I would do Racing Cars on Dirt tracks.

[Shindig]

I probably wouldn't be athletic or at the gym. Golf caused me to want to go outside, enjoy the outdoors, and so on.

[csalcedo_tw]

probably play soccer

If golf didnt exist, Id probably be hanging out at bars drinking and trying to meet women.

If golf didn't exist it really wouldn't change who I am at all.

Sure, it's an addicting hobby and I love it, but basketball was and always will be my first love. If golf didn't exist, I'd probably spend a lot more time playing basketball and playing my guitar. It wouldn't really have any affect on what I did, except my hobbies.

One of the attractions of golf for me is the environment it is played in. It is more than a "walk in the park". A number of times, we watch deer prancing across the fairway or come down to a nearby stream. There are many wild turkeys around (their population has exploded in the last five years in our part of Upstate New York). I am fond of our feathery friends and I love to see cardinals, blue jays, baltimore orioles. Our home course has a blue heron that swoops down to catch fish out of the ponds early in the morning.

I grew up in a rural area where I used to take hikes frequently "through the woods". The golf courses that are built in outlying areas are the ones that I like the most. You may have guessed this-----------------I NEVER take a golf cart. I love the exercise of walking, and you see and hear so much more if you stroll along, rather than ride along.

I have found the golf courses that I frequent are great places to meet attractive, athletic women------------not for purposes of dating or whatever. I have been married to a "saint" for 29 years and have never cheated on her and never will. Nonetheless, I follow her rule---you can look, but you cannot touch.

For over 30 years, I have been a golf instructor and I can see where club pros get in trouble giving lessons to a well built gal. The temptation to "show her" by putting your hands on hers, etc. has got to be great. Hey----maybe that is why my son is a Head Pro at a golf course owned by St. Lawrence University where the coeds are "not bad looking".

Sorry about that. I am a rookie here and have posted only under "Tour Talk". I thought up this thread and figured it might produce interesting replies, so I posted it. Then, it did not show up under "Tour Talk", and I thought it was lost forever. A light bulb went off in my head about how it was not really a topic for the Tours, so I checked out the CP, and here it is!!

i might be having sex but still, sex is a distant second to golf

I'd spend more time on the water fishing & windsurfing, hiking in the mountains, playing my guitar and might even start playing tennis again.

GOOD CHOICES!! I LOVE basketball and tennis, because they are fast paced, and develop cardio-vascular conditioning. I still play a little basketball, but have NOT played tennis for about five years. When I do play, I put the racket in my left hand, even though I am right-handed, to develop the muscles in my wrist, forearm, and bicep to HELP me with my golf game (I play right-handed and do NOT want to have that side be too strong).

If golf did not exist I would have had a more successful secondary school education, fact.
