Online poker! IF you play at www.ultimatebet.com, you can play for fun and earn points for your time. The points can then be gambled away or built up to trade in for prizes and cash. They have free tourneys too for points or money as prizes. I love it.

golf is boring. Take up mountain biking or something that's more interesting and less like dragging a bunch of clubs around a field.

You are aware that they sell beer at most golf courses, right? ;)

Find a driving range that has some clubs you can use. Head out and try and hit some balls. If you can do ok, you're good to go. If you can't hit the thing to save your life, try something else ;).
And yet you still play golf......freaking hypocrite. :p

Speaking of which, isn't it about time we check for tee times on ebay??

I'd hit the library and find a good book....find a nice spot in a park somewhere and read it. Do that for about a month and you go back to work looking like a literary genius.

Hmmm....I play golf and do some mountain biking. Does this make me a complete idiot? :confused:

you could take up drawing. it's very relaxing just sitting around and sketching stuff. you can do it almost anywhere too.

Here's a hobby: go to garage sales, buy stuff, then sell it for 5x (or more) the amount on ebay.
Also, go to auctions (and do the same)

btw, if you're near me, I have several sets of golf clubs that I purchased for $3 per set. (auctions... I just can't turn down a bargain).... I'll let you have a set. And, golf is more fun when you aren't serious about it.... Just play "beer a hole" and forget about the score.

reading, or golf or.. make something.. i was thinking of making a desk light thing... not like a lamp.. but more like a light show.. get clear or colored plastic sticks.. have that on a turntable while light shines from one side.. so it'll look all cool and pretty...

my friend has his own project.. he's gonna make something for his computer.. so do something like that.. should take up a buncha time, and in the end, you'll have something worth your time

Screw real golf. Go to the bar, play Golden Tee, get good, and then gamble all night. Can be profitable some nights.
