Disc Golf, Fishing, Skiing, Gardening
I enjoy the skill and challenges of Disc Golf. It can be very relaxing and a feeling of freedom when your out on the corse.
Fishing is very much the same way and exciting when the fishing lines are thigh. It has been a while since I've been Skiing but I enjoy it very much when I have a chance to hit the slopes. Gardening is satisfying because you are able to see the development and growth of the plants and harvest the vegetables when theyare ripe.
