Golf, Creating
Golfing is an interest of mine as it gives me a nice place to catch with friends as well as enjoy the outdoors. This also act's an distressing tool.
Another interest of mine is creating and by that I mean I like to tinkerwith things, weather it means creating a 3d print to make a everyday task easier or discovering new technologies out there that I can incorporate into my life.
