If you had some free time
 

If you had a free morning in your schedule and you are able; would you choose golf or pickleball?

Golf.

I'd choose a root canal over pickleball.

I'd rearrange my schedule to create plenty of chances to do both!

Not an equivalency by any means. It's like asking if you would prefer filet mignon or dog crap for dinner. Golf by a landslide!

The only reason I don't have a free morning is because I'm already playing PB. So the question doesn't really make sense.

:pepper2:

I don't like either. I'd go for a walk, ride my bicycle, weed the garden, go to the pool, hang out with my neighbors, or just sit at home watching something on Netflix. Same as I do now. I have plenty of free time. I'm retired.

Without a doubt golf. Pickle ball brings out my competitive nature and the result is that I aggravate my bone on bone knees and hips and regret playing. Golf, lap swimming, and bike riding are much easier on the worn out joints.

Golf!

breakfast - I prefer to minimize stress.

Just say what you want. There's no need to bash anyone else's choice. Golf early morning in the wet grass would not be my choice, but I love the breakfast answer.

Neither!

Yes.

2 completely different things. One is very physical and demanding on knees etc. the other is less physical but might not be the best for the wrist. One you have a good chance of injuring yourself. The other, maybe a wrist injury. Good luck….

Neither.

Golf.

You are outside in a park like setting enjoying nature. You play the course, not your opponent.

I do both everyday

Pickleball.

I refuse to participate in a sport that sounds like I should be placing it on my hamburger :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Hands Down Pickleball! I could easily play every morning and not get tired of it - great exercise too! I thought moving here to the Villages I would be all about golf - I enjoy golf, but could take or leave it (I play maybe twice a month). Funny how that worked out. I’ve met so many great Villagers through pickleball.

I play both. I wish I could play PB more than I am able to. If my body could hold up to the stress I'd play PB every day. I like golf, mostly for the social aspects, but I love PB.

Good question! 😏🙄
I'll have to sleep on it. Nap time. 🥱😴😴

Pickleball became popular just about the same time as my physical limitations became a reality. Residents, in good physical condition, can enjoy both golf and pickleball. For me it’s golf. Fore…

?🤔 Yet you participate in a sport that sounds like you are choking on said condiment. 🤮 Interesting. 😉

That's a reach:spoken:

Billiards

Hopefully someone won’t come up with pickle golf and further degrade a great spot like what happened with frisbee golf?

Yeah. I know. But since my dad decided I was going to play and he would be my teacher, I have often thought "golf" sounded, well, kinda disgusting. Like a dog trying to vomit. Is that really the best name the Scots come up with? Oh, well. After all, what is in a name? A rose by any other name ..... you know. 🫠

If and when I get over 250 pounds to too old or to lazy or to fat to waddle then golf sounds like good alternative. But then playing cards would be another alternate?:pepper2:

Definitely Pickleball

It has been said that the Scots chose the word "golf" because all of the other four letter words were taken.

Pickleball! I play every morning at 7/7:30. I play golf 2/3 times a week.

Haven’t played golf in 20 years but look forward to playing again soon.

Pickleball? No interest.

I choose golf , no chance of stumbling and falling on a hard surface ,at my age, I break easily

I would choose in this order- skeet shooting - football by myself - baseball by myself - hockey outside in august here in TV - or maybe just resting after a hard day.

Pickleball. Pickleball!!!

Neither. I would spend that time with a loved one.

pickleball!

I'd not played golf in 15 years because of my work schedule, although some would argue what I did back then wasn't really golf, i.e. never was very good. I enjoyed playing with friends, the occasional good shot, and many of the courses I've played in the US and Canada are beautiful. Not tried pickleball, but I used to like racquetball, which was a little faster pace. Problem these days is a budging disk at L4-L5 and L5-S1 and tweaking either one or both means pain for a while. Debating playing golf again (back issue). Pickleball looks like it would be hard on my knees (yeah, need to lose some weight). Thinking about getting my back "fixed", but not sure about the docs around here and the downside of things going wrong is scary.

Like going to a grocery store “ apples or oranges “
