Once weekly yearly I golf, and yet I'm still shite. It's shocking because I'm a sporty guy. By sporty I mean I'm a good sport, but I can't do any actual sports.
Sports I've tried: skiing and cornhole.
Sports I like: skiing, walking, floating, lifting rocks to examine what's underneath. Sure, only one of these is deemed an official sport but let's be honest, that sounds symptomatic of a poor imagination. Isn't picking saskatoons a kind of sport? Snowmobiling? Reading? Painting? Lawn-mowing? Surviving Winter? Not to brag, but I excel at these. 😜
What do you "excel" at?

I’m sure you’re a good sport even if not so good at sport. I really excel at nothing, but in sport, I may have been somewhat above average is racket sports and those that required good hand-eye coordination.
Are you going to try out for Canada's Olympic Cornhole Team?
I excell at jumping to conclusions:) I'm not sporty either, although I was a race walker in my forties, where I found out how competitive I am (very). Walking is always my go to, and the aforementioned jumping.
I'm a decent bowler sometimes. And I'm okay at horseshoes, though oddly, that prowess did not transfer over to cornhole.
Codex: Ever played field hockey on a golf course? Highly recommend.
Being a good sport is the real flex, right?
Haha. Nope.
Nice one. However, race-walking does sound impressive.
Ha, maybe cornhole should use iron bean bags?
This sounds like an interesting story...a blog post, perhaps?
...I don't enjoy doing things unless I can do them well. Golf has never been one of my accomplishments!
Codex: We need bigger holes on the golf course, don't we?
I am not good at any sport! Not a one. (Not that I've tried many; would belly-dancing count? I've tried that, loved it, didn't stick with it. I'd take tap-dancing lessons -- how fun would that be! - if only they didnt insist you perform at some point.
Screw that. ).The image of you rock-lifting made me laugh out loud though.
If you don't do an activity regularly you'll never get good at it, but if said activity doesn't interest you it won't get onto your regular schedule.
I excel at avoiding playing sports, although I did play a lot of tennis in my younger days, and now I play snooker with two elderly gentlemen every Tuesday afternoon. I lose a lot.
