In Junior High, ummm...yes. now, no.

Just saying that (perhaps in my experience only) "fun" and "golf" do not go together.

Old joke between a buddy of mine and I that the funnest part of golf was breaking the club over your knee and chucking it at the people getting sassy because they want to "play through."

yeah, i hear ya. what I actually meant by "for fun" was "not competitively". I actually got tired of it around high school, and now I only play once every couple of years when I am visiting my family, because my Grandfather likes to play, even tho he is pushing 87 (good family genes, i've got that much on my side!). Gives me a chance to spend some time with him.

Track and Cross Country were competitive in high school, and also fun, but golf was just on the side with a few friends, when school was out.

I played soccer for a couple years in grade school, and was part of a swim team in the 7th grade. Did track for a year in high school. And I tried playing volleyball in various church teams.

Did I mention how much I suck at team sports?

That you were a really bad football player, and didn't want to admit it.

I never even formed the thought...now I have you to thank for that mental image!

After all, Minnesota is the home of the Jolly Green Giant and Paul Bunyan and Babe. Must be in the water, my son is getting big. ;)

I did alot of 10K and half-marathons 13 miles, for a decade or so. Also ten years of aerobic dancing-no leotards-but "sporty". I should have done track in school but no time with yearbook staff. Also did my share of water-skiing.

If you see this, SLTigerlady, I always wanted to ride hunters. It must have been fun. TW

I've been in two other organized sports- cheerleading and soccer. I've also been in dance/baton. I like (but not very good at) volleyball, basketball, and softball.
