Besides golf, my other vices are wine and watches. Pretty much the middle-aged male trifecta.

Is working on my MBA a hobby?

Now that it's summer time in South Dakota I golf every chance I get.  I work 6 days in a row (working on school work while at work!) followed by 4 days off.  Those 4 days off are usually spent golfing so to be honest I don't do much else.

If I'm not golfing or working (USAF or school work) I'm usually outside doing something.  My fiance and I love hiking in the Blackhills so I guess to answer the OP, hiking...


I am taking the year off from doing school work and I plan to be in a masters level anesthesia or practitioner program by next fall.  My only hobby is to get a lot of golf in over this next year. Then my hobby with be school again for a few years.

I absolutely love to cook, mostly French and Italian but I dabble in a lot of other cuisine as well. I'm with Stretch on the wine, love it. Whisky too! Used to play guitar but haven't in ages. Been a dad for going on seven years, two boys, obviously not a hobby but I love what it gives me.

Guitar - 80's metal head.

Fishing - used to fish tournaments with pro style bass boats.     Now have weeds growing up through the wheels and barely get my boats wet since I've discovered golf now in my 3rd year - need to regain some semblance of balance.

Woodworking - pre-golf, was into woodworking hardcore.    Still have all the stationary & hand tools in my shop, but like my boats, they're covered in dust and rusting.

What is it about golf that results in such obsessive compulsive behavior ????????

Hiking and just starting to get into alpine climbing. These have kind of taken a backseat to golf since I started playing seriously about a year ago though. I also play basketball pretty regularly. Golf has me hooked hard though, it pretty much gets all of my free time these days.

 


skydiving, scuba diving, rock climbing, general working out

you think golf is a wallet drainer?

Avid hiker and backpacker. Also love to travel. Just drove 1600+ miles from Colorado to Virginia and never saw any reason to complain (although Kansas is always incredibly boring to drive through). And of course, after living in craft beer central (Colorado's Front Range) I have become a bit of a beer drinker. I enjoy working out, but primarily do it for health reasons, so I don't consider it a hobby.

Golf does consume most of my time though. In a given month, I golf 3 out of 4 weekends and who knows how many weekdays. The other stuff needs a lot of other variables synced to happen. (Except for the beer of course)

Skydivers are a little, ahem.... Different. I used to fly skydivers. One day they THREW ME OUT OF THE AIRPLANE! Thought it was enormously funny. Me, not so much. Things got a little ugly when everyone finally got down....... ......next time up, not one of them landed within 2 miles of zone. Oops. ;-)

Am I the only one who thinks these skydivers are INSANE? Getting tossed out of a plane? Geez...that's nuts!

 


Tandem jumping is fun, but I wouldn't skydive as a hobby. I dabble a bit in bowling, football, downhill skiing. Other than that I roam around the internet, work as adminstrator on one board and like to help out where I can out there. I play a bit of games on PC and Xbox, and watch live streams at Twitch.tv. I would also consider music a hobby, as it is a pretty important part of my life, though I don't practice it myself.

I have a relative who owns an archery company, so for me it has been easy to get into archery and bow hunting.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
