I played county and that was a decent level. Also decent at badminton which I find a lot of TT players are. Also
Played off 18 at golf when I was 12 having started at 7 and would have liked to have given that a proper push. You can make a living playing off 2 - 5 really if you can be bothered to travel.
What was the distraction? Did you get a semi at an inappropriate moment?
I used to play a lot of 11 a side and 5 a side football in my teens and throughout my twenties. I did get asked once by someone who'd seen me play if I was a pro. When I said no he said he didn't believe me.
I was good. Very good. Is that bragging ? Oh well

I thought the higher the handicap number the better you were
Playing off 12( Took 3 years to get down) at the moment after a 15 year gap for football, but a new baby restricts the time I can play over winter now so expect this to climb next year
Both times I've been on a cruise, i've played in the Table Tennis tournaments, & both times it's a 60 year old bloke won it..I think they just go on these holidays to win the table tennis
I'm a decent golfer off 8 handicap & won my second board trophy this year
Used to be decent at squash (club level) but got too old now
8's a very good knock sheriff! I grew up on links courses which has bode well for me I think.
Squash destroys my knees which are rubbish at the best of times.

the very reason I don't play any more...saving my knees for golf
Darts, pool, poker and dominoes.
Had a trial and an offer of a contract playing professional rugby for Cardiff Blues, but failed the medical.
I played non league for a few years back in the Isthmian leagues,
I was a ski instructor for a few seasons, played Tennis for my Borough and play Golf off a 6 handicap. Knees now shot so only have the golf left

Family issues.
Played for South East England in basketball.......was to rubbish to go any further.
I'm pretty good at football at amateur level, Not bad at Tennis either.
