Golf is kind of fun when you're actually doing it
Fun fact: My grandpa took me golfing when I was about 14. I'd never done it before and managed to hit par on like three different holes.
I will tell you what I'm terrible at and that is BOWLING

I was invited to a golf tournament tomorrow and turned it down with a smile.
when it comes to sports I was actually good at I was randomly really good at ice skating when I was young (about 7-8 years old) - I'd zoom around the rink at top speed and get compliments from random people - and later (about high school age) I got pretty good at skiing.
I know, I know, Pike actually going outside and being physical. I'm kind of scared too.
Pike is right: golf is fun when you're actually doing it. Back in my teens, I would go golfing occasionally with my dad and grandfather, and it was fun. I never really mastered the long drive, but I had a good short game (that is the opposite of most amateurs' abilities), though I played better when I was with more skilled golfers. I even hit a couple birdies when playing with my grandfather.... and after we cleaned up the mess, I went on to hit 1 under par.
I also like bowling, though I only play about once every couple of years so I'm very inconsistent.
In a word, no.
baseball is fun if you like games where literally nothing ever happens
I was on a softball team once. It was bad.
I hunt otter.
I used to play Tennis and Badminton a lot and loved ten pin bowling and trampolining.
These days I don't really do anything sporty apart from the occasional table tennis game. Keep waivering on joining the local athletics club but I know I'll feel like a whale amongst shrimp there...
The wrong is off the charts. Golf is high tier and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to watch it more (though I can understand why Americans may not be invested as much in it as they have retarded gambling laws, when betting on the golf is the main reason many follow it).Originally Posted by Shorty
I'm big on sports. I go and watch Swansea City (even though I now reside in Cardiff) when I can and have won the Outstanding Contribution to the Football Thread award three years running now*. I used to play it, until my knees gave way, but it just gives me more time for my first love, which is cricket. I used to play for my university and I still play in the regional league (come and watch, we're playing Maesteg CC tomorrow), opening the batting and dropping catches. It's also kinder to my knees.
I'm trout at rugby but I enjoy watching it, and the same can be said for snooker. The only sports I can't really get into are tennis, which in my opinion is just middle class white people knocking a rubber ball back and forth, and Formula 1, which is just phenomenally boring. At least NASCAR don't pretend that big crashes are awesome.
God, I even watched an American Football game once.

there was a picture here
I played basketball (point guard), soccer (goalkeeper), tennis (singles), and swam (freestyle) in high school, being above average at basketball and tennis, pretty good at soccer and swimming. I still watch soccer matches on TV (players are hot) and can get into the NBA Championships to see if the Grizzlies do well. I'll watch anything if I feel like it.
I also played some baseball and bowled, but hated the former and sucked at the latter.
We were trying to go to a Grizzlies game when they made it to the playoffs this year, but tix were like $60 a pop for the nose bleed section, so Jay decided it wasn't worth the trip. Would've been fun. I've never been to a basketball game.
NHL has turned into a big thing here 'cuz of the Predators. I've yet to go to one of -those- too. I wanna though. I try to get into American Foozeball, but I never can. I watch the Super Bowl specifically for the commercials, junk food, and beer.
I hate sports.
OOOH YEAH! I love drunk bowling. Drunk bowling is -awesome-.
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
