catchoftheday Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I need a new hobby. I thought about kayaking but it turns out that buying a kayak is somewhat expensive and then there is storage of the thing. So I need a new hobby, im bored and I need something to distract my mind. Any suggestions? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanleylicious Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Golf The common misconception is that it's always extremely costly, which can be true, but it also can be quite cheap. Buy a set of used clubs, stay away from the expensive courses (Or courses altogether, the driving range/putting green is fun enough assuming you just want a somewhat simple hobby). I find that hitting a couple of buckets of balls relieves a lot of stress. Baseball card collecting is very fun too, but can be addicting if you're a compulsive like I am :lol God knows how much money I've wasted on packs of cards over the years. I try now to just concentrate on collecting certain players.

I do need a new set though. I have this two-way pitching wedge that took forever to get used to but I play it well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Firearms, more specifically trap/skeep shooting. It's a very fulfilling and rewarding hobby that is very fun. I don't know what part of Florida you live in, but if you're anywhere near Markham Park I highly recommend going to one of the beginners Trap/Skeet shooting clinics. The clinic is free and a lot of fun and you'll learn a lot, you'll be absolutely hooked and want to go out and buy a Remington 870 or similar shotgun perfect for a beginner trap shooter. After a few practice trips to Markham you'll be out there competing in tournaments, it's great. Don't just say "no, I don't want anything to do with firearms" or something like that. Be open minded and give it a try, the clinic is free and would be PERFECT for you. You've got nothing to lose, if you don't like it that's cool, but if you do love it which I think you will, you just found a great hobby and sport that is fulfilling and you can participate in for the rest of your life, you'll meet a lot of great people and make a lot of great friends and just have a lot of fun.

FutureGM Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I have a hobby that has existed for some time-getting baseball players to sign cards through the mail for free. It's a nice way to get cheap autographs and build a collection. If interested, I will give you the appropriate details through a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlummoxedLummox Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've been wanting to build and fly RC airplanes for a while, but haven't had the disposable income to get started. Same goes with actual flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeefan21 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Same goes with actual flying. If you check out some flight schools, they usually have an orientation flight for free [or very little money] to try to hook you. When I did mine, I did everything but land the plane. It was pretty awesome. Depending on where you live, SCUBA is a great sport. Once you have laid out the initial dough, it isn't very expensive to maintain your gear or fill your tanks. If you can find a good club near you, it makes it more of a social activity while also enjoying nature and not sitting on your bum. It's up to you.

TheDon Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Read Doyle Brunson's "Supersystem" and play online poker. If you don't already travel, start doing so. I would suggest: Las Vegas NYC Southern France Monte Carlo Anywhere in Italy other than Milan Barcelona Buy some music software (Cakewalk/Pro Tools Lite/Logic) and record your music ideas piece by piece and write songs.

JJ24 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Raquetball is really fun, cheap and great exersize. Plus if you cant find anyone to play theres usually older men chillin at the club waiting to play. There pretty easy to beat once you figure the game out. Talk about a real confidence booster.
