I tried golf...and I was no good at it!

I used to love to play. I played at least 18-holes a day for many years. I got down to a 6-handicap and it was no longer fun. It turned into a struggle for a 5-handicap and beating myself up over missed greens and missed putts. I gave all my gear away and never looked back...my stress level came down as well.

Cheers,

Bob

Well, being a bit of a 'hot head' maybe it's better that I don't take golf up then. Sounds like my stress levels will double! Tongue out

Swimming, I can swim but not very well.  I really should get over my fear of water. 

How could I have forgotten swimming! I'm rubbish at it. Undecided

Water skiing is really difficult!! Especially when you end up smacking face first into the water!!

I loved the ambiance of the ski lodge Krissy and would go again in a heart beat...I just wouldn't ski! LOL! Instead, I would curl up in a comfy chair in front of a fire, with a good book and a hot cup of coco and wait for the rest of you to come back.  Who knows...I might strike up a conversation with a hunky ski instructor.WinkLaughing
