I disc golf. Love being outside and the exercise. My dad was a pro in his day and got me into the sport in the 90s. I’m 42, I can still rip the disc really far and love the game.

I also golf, but don’t play as much and usually end up playing poorly about 4 to 5 holes in and lose enjoyment. I’m very competitive with myself.

I also bike and workout everyday for fun

Tennis. Have played since I was 6 years old. Won the conference tournament 4 years in a row at Concordia in Seward. Freshman at 2 singles, soph-sr at 1 singles. But that’s small college for ya. I wasn’t good enough to play D 1.

I’m 52 now and still playing 2-3 times a week most weeks.

Sand VB was the last thing I did, beer league at Boondockers!

Now, just lift weights and see who can drink more between me and my friends.

And golf.

Before shoulder surgery last month I played basketball 2-3 times per week.

I won’t be able to play again until hopefully March of 2024.

Tempelhof AFB, Berlin 1974-76. Singles and teams and it was intense fast action. Matches were set to a maximum number of games (usually 20-25) $5/player and the pot grew until final payoff to last player(s) standing. Re-entry after a loss simply required another $5. I won a team 20 game pot once but mostly I bowed out after $10. I witnessed some incredible play, some games would only last a few minutes, others would go into epic battles of defense... good times indeed.

Awesome. I was the city champ 45 years ago. Can still pass the ball well, but my offensive gave is pretty weak. It's all about timing, as you well know.

Some of the dudes had some great pull or push shots, others really good with the bumps and some were a real ***** with banks.
My wife and I loved going to the bar and just play.

My older brother started before me, used to nail me pretty good. Wasn't long before I was humbling him, and he became my goalie, and a helluva good one at that. I always preferred the front. He was more of a back guy. (Reads a little strange on paper).

I played a ton of spades at Altus. Had a helluva partner from Revere, Massachusetts.

Still very competitive when it comes to first person shooters, although it's a struggle to stay in the middle of the pack these days at nearly 54. As young guy, I was used to finishing at or near the top of every match, but we didn't really have esports, just lan parties and team deathmatch. Once had a network cable from my neighbors house routed to mine in the days of dialup internet.. those were some memories.. Unreal Tournament was king then!

I never played spades or foosball in Oklahoma Altus Bro. In Berlin the scoring was control the ball back and forth see the gap and Whap! Some of my best goals were struck from the Goalie. Like Spades and Hearts you develop a sense of know when your partner is going to strike or wants you to. In foosball you get out of his way if he is back line or feet in defense if you are back line.

Competed in sports and other things (e.g. debate) through HS, then competed against peers in Marine Corps and college for promotions and grades, then in my career for advancement (cut throat). Now retired and don't compete at all. I just volunteer and work for causes and people. I loved competing, but had enough after 60 years of it.

I used to play as well - still have a Tornado Coin-Op table that collects more dust than it should.
I had a decent snake shot (rollover) for an amateur but didn’t put in the time to get my 5 bar passing any better. Such a fun game and watching the pros is absolutely amazing.
