Ever read my comparison of golf vs racquetball?
In RB a rollout is the perfect shot. In golf it is the most frustrating thing for an otherwise great looking putt.
In golf your worst mishit can go in woods, water, deep rough or just plain out of bounds. In RB your worst mishit can be the greatest shot of the day (see rollout above).
In RB you only have to carry one club as long as you learn every way it can be used effectively. In golf you have multiple clubs and often select the wrong one for what you think you need to do with it. And even then you don't always choose the most effective way of using it.
In golf you have to walk all over a course to hit the ball again, sometimes in a rotten hitting position like in sand or high grass. In racquetball often you just have to make a step or two one way or another while you wait for it to arrive back at the perfect hitting position.
In golf you have to be sure you have found the correct ball when it has left your sight. In RB if you can't find the only ball out there, then it's time to give up the game.??

So what you’re saying is Racquetball is easy and Golf is hard

Racquetball is far easier and more fun to play in less time while using up more calories. Golf just sucks the life out of you and the $$ out of your wallet.?

Oh yeah.
Rabbit ears or the old battered lazy-X antenna on the roof.
My dad repaired TVs since the 50s and an old lady gave him an old RCA TV that always needed fixed, he fixed it and we had the first color TV on the street. "The following show is brought to you in living color"..... Remember that ? Disney on Sunday night. It was a big deal.
A simpler but fun time.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

It was far simpler for my grandparents for sure. No spam calls from India, pfishing emails, exorbitant internet and cell phone fees, no exorbitant TV bills, a car you could buy for less than $1000 (though it had higher maintenance needs). etc.

a car you could buy for less than $1000 (though it had higher maintenance needs). etc.
The owners manual from the ‘50’s or ‘60’s found in the glove compartment of your car, would instruct you on how to set the timing or valve lash on your engine.
Today’s owners manual tells people not to drink the antifreeze.
Talk about a generational divide.

The old tune-up standard, plugs, points and condenser. Did that many, many times including in my first car a 65 Ford Mustang.
I had all the tools for car maintenance in my dad's one of six bays in his two garages at the old homestead which was just sold after my mother's passing in 2019.
I had everything from ramps, jack stands, welder with bending table, every wrench, meter, hand tool, repair manuals you could imagine to fix anything.
All now just "gone with the wind"........

The thing to do: get an old classic car which comes from an era where you could do all that yourself and tinker with that.

A lot of great memories of late summer nights working on cars and shooting hoops with the radio playing in the garage, oh yeah in high school and beyond.
I remember one summer night when I tore off the exaust pipes with a friend on my 1969 Camaro Z-28 and installed a set of Thrush headers but before putting on the header bolt on header mufflers I couldn't resist firing up the Z with the open headers and taking it for a ride.
It was after 10 pm but what the hell. I fired it up in the garage and you couldn't hear anything it was so freaking LOUD !
I backed up onto the street and let it rip. Down our street and up the next and turned around in the fire station lot about a mile away and flew back home.
On the way home EVERY house had their outside lights on and we're out looking to see what the rumble was. OMG what a ride, that Z could fly !
In the garage, pulled down the door and installed the bolt up header mufflers and reflected upon the run, wow.
My brothers said stuff was rattling on the shelves in the house....... what a summer night.

I'm wasn't sure whether to play "Those Were The Days My Friend" or "Summer Nights". So I compromised.?

My parents loved their green stamps. They would turn is stacks of them to get a toaster.
I remember having to use can openers to puncture cans...like cans of Hi-C.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
