Tennis
When I was on my late teens I used to go to a place called “La Ola” near Sondika airport in Bilbao with my two Iker friends. Watching the Roland Garros and Winbledom games inspired me to go out there and try some lame serves and forehands of my own.

Golf
Let us be honest, as of Dec 2003, I have played golf the scandalous amount of three whooping times in my life. I do not think I even can qualify for the crippled-fat bastard amateur sucker division.
