Default 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?

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.

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.

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.

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….
