Any other hobbies?

What's spare time? amirite?

Outside of golf, what do you do? Collect stamps? Run? Assemble model cars? Film buffs?

I've trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts for the past 11 years and still teach it today. Photography/video for the past 8 years (concerts, nature, street, and ran a successful BJJ review site), and now I've golfed for the past 6 years I think.

What say you MGS? Hobbies, do you speak it?

Dungeons & Dragons has taken over the off season. I've been playing twice a week during quarantine. We owned a pool table as a kid so I used to play a ton. Play cards and other board games.

Lots of time in the woodshop or on the tractor. Plus a new 4 month old took the rest of the free time I had :) but I'll have him on the course in not time!

I used to live in Billings and would fish the Stillwater often.  Made it over to Madison once, and of course Yellowstone.  All my fly gear sits unused these days.

Not much of anything besides golf. I dabble a bit in a variety of things, but nothing seriously enough to be considered a hobby in the same way as golf. I used to do BMX, but age and lack of fitness took care of that. Currently trying to get myself back in shape and considering getting back into it or perhaps mountain biking. I miss being on two wheels.

Playing an electric guitar is on my bucket list.  If I can't come back as a PGA Touring Pro, I'll try a gig as Eric Clapton or Tom Petty.

You've got some fantastic waters around you.  Have you ever fished Warm Springs (Mecca Flats) on the Deschutes for Redsides?  The Salmon Fly hatch (happening now) is crazy fun. Of course, you have to trade pictures taking and golf time... decisions, decisions. 😆

I’d love to be a rock star, but the largest gig I’ve played was an acoustic gig for my kids Girl Scout meeting.

I do a lot with music in my spare time, as either a board member for our school's music association, or as a musician myself. Currently working on an interstate internet EP with two friends - me in MA, my bass player/lead guitarist in NH, and our singer in CT.

I've gotten back into biking recently as well. I raced BMX as a kid and I've been cruising around the past few months. I'm slowly building up to my first 20mi ride.

I play a lot of basketball normally and just love to keep active.  Many of the guys I play with either played at small D1 schools or DII basketball so competition is high and keeps me "in shape'.  For instance, a league I played in recently had a former Purdue starting guard on the team (Ryan Cline).

I did a little bit of fishing on the Rogue a few years back.  Just never got into it like I did doing the half pounders on 3 wt 🙂   Oh yeah....I'm also riding my bike when I'm not golfing or out taking pics 😄

I wouldn’t consider myself a luthier by any stretch. More an amateur guitar repair tech. It has help me learn more about wood finishes which has helped with my persimmon golf club refinishing.


I’m pretty proud of this LP Jr. I built.

Here's a really rough mix of a song on our upcoming EP. The vocals are a little hot and it's still missing all the backing harmonies, but I'm really proud of how this one's shaping up.

I'm a man of many hobbies. Drives my wife crazy haha. During the nice months I'm golfing or riding my motorcycle, 2006 CBR1000RR. During the rainy months I'm playing my guitar or rebuilding something. I always have to be using my hands or I get into trouble.
