What is your favourite sport and why?

There are several.

It began during my early school years, when participation in football was strongly encouraged. This expanded through my teenage years to cricket, athletics, racquetball, and a little of both squash, field hockey. Then my favourite, rowing, which took me into my twenties.

I continued a bit with tennis and then became a serious golfer, of which I played a lot during several decades. I still play golf, and by invitation, have coached rowing crews.

Also began downhill skiing in my late twenties and really “got into it”. .. had lessons and twice took a week at ski school in Vermont (early 70’s).

Also since my teenage years, have enjoyed viewing auto racing, e.g. LeMans, Formula 1, and Indy, indeed all major sporting events apart from the “boring-to-me” pro. team sports I.e. NFL football, baseball, basketball, and during recent years, hockey.

I like football. I like the New York Jets----probably because they won the Super Bowl as an underdog in 1969.

I also like baseball. I like the Yankees.

I'm not too much of a sports fan, but I like track & field, badminton, and table tennis.
