I prefer a more directly interactive sport like soccer. I currently play in an over 60 league, but realistically at 61 my soccer days are limited. Pool can probably go on as long as I do to some extent.
 
I actually spent the last few years playing a game called magic the gathering on a semi professional level. The traveling became a little tough since my new little one has come along. I got to go to Hawaii, Charleston, Japan over the past year so i did enjoy it at times. Now pool is my major hobby and its alot more family friendly as i can practice at home and attend local tournaments.
 
my favorite sport has to be racquetball (sp), but I'm also known to enjoy a good match of thumb-wrestling at times. Pool is by far my favorite hobby however, next to modding my car. :)
 
My favorite sport/hobby?

For the past 5 years POOL has been #1. It's edged out golf since I struggle 24/7 with flattened discs in my neck and a rotator cuff problem. I play in maybe 2 pool tourneys per week and two 8-ball ball-in-hand leagues. I love the competition and working towards improvement.

I'm lucky to have a very understanding wife when I go overboard with my interests. Over the past 40 years I've been a bit obsessive in my string of interests while playing baseball to football to softball to scuba diving to racquetball to golf to fishing to pool. << master of none but damn good!;)
 
No doubt, I play every chance I get and when I'm not playing i'm look for some to watch on TV.

I enjoy whatever hobby my wife specifies for me to enjoy.

I would have to agree. I did forget about bass fishing. Charter boat fishing on lake erie sucks up here, but I sure do miss the 5:00AM bass fishing weekends on my friends stratos on lake oconee in Georgia. Sure was fun.

Some great stories in this thread! :)

You mean there are OTHER sports besides pool?


Jeez, NOW you tell me!


Been my favorite since I was 12 and that was a loooooooooooonnnng time ago.

O_O....

What is this word... "hobby"?

Pool is life! I dream, sleep, eat, breathe, and CRAP pool.... that sounds really painful, but you get the picture.

Maybe I'm just a strange fruit but I'm pretty much an addict. I'm gonna need an intervention pretty soon if this keeps up.
