Have to admit my other hobby is very lady oriented which is crafting, particularly crochet. I find it very relaxing to sit and crochet while watching tv in the evenings.

I hunt, fish, play fantasy football.

I also read(if you consider this a hobby) mainly stuff on American History, Music(Rock Era) and anything by Tom Clancy. Have also read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy twice (including the Hobbit) and the Jason Bourne series.

I also watch a ton of TV, mainly History/Military Channel, Discovery/TLC, DIY, FoodTV.

Oh, and the looking stuff up on my hobbies on the internet to supplement my knowledge.

hmmm, running/jogging, do all the fantasy football/baseball stuff (klun I went 13-0 in our season 2 years ago my friend!), learning the guitar. Love to cook also, and love photography, have gotten the bug there too...

I like cooking, but tend to read more about cooking than actually doing it. The other web sites I frequent are all cooking and restaurant-oriented. There was a time in my 20's when I considered going to culinary school. I sail, but since it's my parent's boat, I'm a guest...and frankly I'd rather golf on the weekend. Fitness (gym), walking, tennis. Minored in art and did jewelry design in college and hope to get back in to that when I retire and have time on my hands.

I play guitar, keyboards, harmonica, and like to record my own music (although it's been a while since I've done that), and am reading my second Dan Brown novel - Digital Fortress.

Used to hunt and fish, and will probably get back into that a least on a limited scale to expose my son to it.

My hobbies go in waves. I get tired of something after a while and move on to something else, and then come back to each thing eventually.

I enjoy grilling, but regular cooking is done more of necessity than enjoyment.

I did forget to put Grilling as a hobby, mainly because, I just enjoy making steaks, chops, chicken, seafood, burgers, dogs, brats on the grill. Nothing better to clear the head than throwing some meat on a grate over an open flame while havin' a beer.

Competitive pistol shooting was my main hobby for years, but have scaled back a lot due to failing eye sight. Just can't see the sights well enough now. Now I mainly build golf clubs, and putt around

I'm pretty devoted to golf...
Past devotions: classical piano, distance running, rock and alpine climbing, ashtanga yoga, Argentine tango, medieval astrology.
Interests that are part of the current mix: personal and spiritual growth, reading, workouts (a mix of short hard runs, strength work, yoga). Healthy lifestyle -- I enjoy the heck out of this body, and want to keep it up for as long as possible.

I have an eleven year old son, not much time for hobbies. We do go camping and he just picked up my acoustic giutar. Trying to get back into that. He likes to go fishing and I take him to the driving range when I don't have broken bones. Still got 6 months left to finish my degree, then everything should open back up.

Golf is a hobby and, for a long time, to some degree now, my profession. Or at least how I made a living.
I enjoy reading. Have read all the Tom Clancy novels. Also like keeping up with the newest golf books.
I'm a co-commissioner in a fantasy football league, the other co is my WIFE!
Like my 42-inch plasman HDTV.
Like making friends in places like these forums as well!

I assist my husband who coaches in our school's summer baseball league. We have the little guys (coach's pitch). Our team this year were all beginners except for three. They did real well but lost tonight so the season is over for us this year.

Currently my hobby is my daughter, who has reached her 5-month milestone age. I don't have time for anything else.

Other than that, cigars, cooking (I try to recreate recipes I've seen on The Food Network), playing on my Playstation (if I ever get that chance again). I can't remember anything else at the moment (just started on my cup of coffee for the morning).

DocT. I remember those days. Nope, no time for hobbies. I somehow don't think my golf mania would be nearly as much fun now, if I didn't have those grown babies lurking around the country to leave phone messages saying, "Ma, call me if you ever come in from the golf course."

Oh come on Doc, you can hold the baby in one hand and swing a wedge in the other. Or take her outside and sit her in the baby seat while you chip balls in to a net...you just need to put some more thought into things...and while she's sleeping, take her to the range and hit balls as she sleeps in the infant seat....

Just tell the wife you're going out to drive her around and spend some quality time with her...

In the summer, when I am not at work my time is mostly spent at the beach. Golf is a new hobbie so I am dividing my time between the two this year. I find on my days off that I spend my mornings at the driving range followed by an evening at the beach.

jan, where do you live?

This reminds me that Ron tells the story that Jimmy Demaret was a pro in Galveston for awhile. He told Ron that he learned a lot about how to hit a golf ball by hitting balls out of the sand on the beach.

Jan, Why not combine your two hobbies and hit practice "Bunker" shots at the beach? No sense letting all that sand go to waste.

Just Please don't do this during a busy beach time...one of two bladed shots will have you chased from the beach by a group of angry sun-burnt people wielding plastic shovels and throwing beached Jellyfish...

I love this topic, it's nice to see what other people do besides golf.
I'm a crafter... I love to do any type of craft. I also have a daughter so she keeps me pretty busy. I help coach her softball team (they took the Championship this year). We also play volleyball and basketball together.
I love to read and I love to cook.

I love NASCAR and spending time with the dogs. I also am a big fan of classic television. I write a lot, too.

Jack,

Who do you root for in NASCAR? Are you a fan of the "chase" concept? I like the recent change to the double file restarts, but not a huge fan of the chase. I grew up listening to NASCAR on the radio while we would wash and wax the car outside on Sundays. Always been a Petty Enterprises fan even through the last 15-20 lean years, though I don't really consider their win 2 weeks ago really the same as a true Petty Enterprises win, but I guess is counts somewhere.

What kinds of crafts, sprouty? I don't really know what that is.

How old is your daughter? I helped coach my daughter's softball team years ago; it was fun.

My other hobby is playing poker. I absolutely love it. In some of the local poker room tournaments, I find that I pay less to enter the tournament than I do for green fees, and I almost always cash out.

I have a '72 VW Bug and enjoy taking her out for long rides. I also enjoy going to classic car shows. Other than that, I spend way too much time around the computer - which is why I took up golf, pretty much for the exercise.

Tiger, so riddle me this....What does the winner get out of a car show? I just went to one here about 5 minutes from me, pretty much cars from the '30s to maybe early '70s (as I remember a 'Cuda there was was more late model than the mid 60s models.) Anyway, so I was talking to one guy who said he bought his show car about a year before and had won something in each show he was at.

So the question: Do you win more than a trophy say like $$$ to help pay for the vehicles you buy? I can't believe you do especially given the shows around here are free to visit. I'm thinking you just love cars, you buy them because of that and you show them without ever having hopes of recouping the investment you make in the cars...Is that right? Sounds kinda like marriage.
