What are your other "passions"?

[JBones]

Now that winter has officially taken hold here, I've been concentrating on my other passions/hobbies. Besides my family, which is my number 1 passion/priority, I enjoy darts, bowling, and building "things". I'm not near as passionate about my other hobbies as I am about my golf, but bowling is probably second. I'm not a great bowler, carry a 190 average, but I do it competitively; I compete in about 4-5 tournaments per year in the midwest and I'm won a city championship in 2006, carrying a 231 average through the tournament. I haven't the past couple years, but I also you to throw darts competitively. I have a very creative mind, thats constantly firing on all cylinders, I can't stand to sit still for more than an hour without doing something productive or creative.

 

So, what are your other "passions"?

[JohnBarry]

Same thing, other than family, my great kids, my passions are Poker, Volleyball and computer gaming.

[JBones]

computer gaming.

What kind of games do you play? I used to be a hardcore "gamer", but I was strictly console. I played XBOX and PS3, now I only have a PS3 left; on that PS3, I only play FPSs, currently MW3 and Battlefield BC 3.

[Kanoito]

I'm a gamer as well (not that hardcore anymore). I used to be a hardcore World of Warcraft player for like 4 years, so glad I was able to quit that evil thing.

Just finished Skyrim and Batman AC. I'm playing Dota 2 and Battlefield 3 at the moment. On consoles I used to play Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Metal Gear and Grand Theft Auto (all of them) among others.

 

I also love singing karaoke

 

Tennis and basketball are my alternatives to golf (since you can practice them indoors during winter) and used to practice them regularly (competitively) during high school.

[JBones]

I also love singing karaoke

I almost put that on here as well, but it's been a while, so not really a passion anymore. We used to go to karaoke all the time before our first was born. I really enjoy it. I don't wanna say I'm good, but I'm a pretty decent singer. I sing lead in a garage band with some friends; we haven't played any real shows or anything, but we're pretty good. We sing/sang a lot of southern rock, like Skynyrd and such. We haven't got together since we've all had kids though.

 

With baby number 2 coming within the next two weeks, those days are long gone.

[Matt Saternus]

Other passions besides gollf...family is #1, as many have said. Beyond that I like music. I used to play guitar in a variety of bands. I like to read, everything from history, comics, philosophy, fiction, etc. I enjoy woodworking and paintball.

I guess kids do change your life completely. I still don't have any, but it's in the planning stage.

Man, I can sing for hours... longest streak was 6 hours add in some alcohol and you got a healthy/fun night!

 

I also sang for a band (cause I didn't know any instruments )

[JohnBarry]

I was a total hard core gamer, playing everything but EQ1 and EQ2 were my major before kids time sinks. Now I just play World of Tanks and I have Skyrim I have just started.

 

I ALSO LOVE TO KARAOKE!! Can't believe I forgot that. I love all kinds of music, sing badly, but I own every song I sing, making it seem and me seem, much better than I am!

[JBones]

I used to play guitar, but I quit when I broke my wrist. I tried picking it up again last year, because I thought it would be just like riding a bike..........it was not. When my daughter gets old enough, we are going to take lessons together (thats how I originally learned).

Thats the best kind of karaoke-er. There is a lady that sings up here and she is horrible, like I'd rather hear nails on a chalkboard horrible, but she gets so into every song. Last time we were up there she was singing some country power ballad and she dropped to her knees while she was singing; it was hilarious.

[GolfSpy_X]

Well I was going to list my other hobbies..but after seeing that all you love Karaoke...hell with my hobbies...I want to see some YouTube videos of some live MGS'ers Karaoke'ing.

[mudfish]

Not really a hobby, but I enjoy off-roading. Problem is, in NY there are very few legal places I can take my truck... Actually, other than a few very large mud puddles, I haven't done much in my Tacoma. Back when I had my Jeep I went to Paragon Offroad Park in PA before they closed...Love getting dirty...

 

 

Boring snow pic...

[RoverRick]

Besides playing golf? Well, I like writing about golf. I like reading about golf. I like watching golf. I like working on golf clubs. I like thinking about golf.

 

Oh yeah, I like to read, shoot guns, go hunting, and go off roading in my Range Rover. I used to like to eat, but I have been on a diet for two months and have not had any food worth liking.

[JohnBarry]

Maybe a My Golf Spy You Tube Karaoke contest is in order!!!

My uncle is really into off-roading, so you'd probably appreciate this, it's his new toy; 1979 K5 Blazer 4x4. Since this picture was taken (sorry, crappy cell phone pic), he has color matched the removable top, gave it a lift, and added spider gears (whatever that means). They ride down in the river bottoms where we grew up; I just go down and watch, while drinking a whole lot of beer.

Love it... I keep telling my son that when he is old enough (6 now) I am going to buy an older Blazer, Bronco, or Jeep and we are going on an off road adventure... He loves it...

[Super Tuna]

I read an absurd amount of books on anything I can get my hands on, at least 20 a month.

Organic chemistry or Symbolic logic questions

Skyrim or any Footie (soccer) video game I can get my hands on

[Jmikecpa]

I used to be huge into sports cars and Harley's and then I had kids. I have owned mostly Mustangs and had a 88 5.0 that my old man and I did a complete overhaul on, had a 2000 GT that I totalled in 2003 and a 2004 GT convertible that I sold when we found out baby number 2 was coming. I still have two Harleys that I ride about twice a year that I am considering selling as they are museum pieces at this point.

 

Quick pic of my 2000 GT that met an untimely death and me and my pup heading to the beach in the 2004.

[JohnBarry]

Love my 06 Charger RT!

[Jmikecpa]

Not my bike, but I own its twin brother.

[BIG STU]

Well besides the wife the dog and golf my job is sorta a hobby. I mess around with wreckers and rollbacks (tow trucks and no I dont do repos or illegial parking etc). I mess with junk cars and my antique 1976 Harley. On Sunday mornings I run the sound system for my church sometines all 3 services. Like most of the others on here I work on golf clubs

sorry about your stang but what is that in the background beside the Ford pickup? It looks like a 50 Dodge to me

[GolfSpy Tim]

I'm a hobby *****:

 

Mountain biking

Hiking

Backpacking (done two through hikes on the JMT and would love to do the PCT someday)

Shooting

Hunting

Photography

Cigars

My pipe

Wine

 

I'd say Karaoke, but you can't get me to drink enough to even try.... but I'd sure love to see you guys giving it a go!

[GolfSpy Tim]

I can't say w hore????

[JBones]

What kind of hunting do you do, Tim? I used to be an avid bow hunter, but I sold all my stuff to buy my last set of irons. I still do some coyote hunting with my .223 sniper rifle and I love to shoot my desert camo Glock 22.

[GolfSpy Tim]

Mostly bird hunting so far, meant to get out for deer and elk this last year, but ran out of time and missed the draw.

 

Quail hunting is just a total blast.

 

Hoping this year to get out for at least deer (maybe Elk if I get lucky on the lottery, but odds are against me)

 

Remington 870 for the birds

I've got a .270 for the 4 legged creatures

Camp 9 for plunking around when my wife wants to go out and shoot stuff with me.

 

Just wish there were better hunting opportunities closer to home.

[JBones]

I love quail and dove hunting; I also use the 870. There's nothing better than grilled dove breasts wrapped in bacon.

[RoverRick]

I could not figure out how to post a picture of my Range Rover, but my wife and I are planning on attending one of those Land Rover Rallys where we and a bunch of other Land Rovers go off roading for two or three days. Last year every one of the was scheduled for when I had a golf tournament and this year i may be out of the country during the spring event but we are still planning on it.

[JohnBarry]

Tim, I am not a hunter, but would be happy to go hunting with you. My Dad owns 40+ acres on the Eastern Shore of VA, full of deer, 7 stands, turkeys and what ever else is running around there. He has pulled some huge Bucks from there.

I really do not know. This was the graveyard that my car was towed into and eventually declared a loss. I took this picture about an hour after the accident and was still in a bit of shock to say the least.
