A ton and half of experience playing many forms of baseball

Next to none real golf, some miniature golf and hundreds if not thousands of hours playing video game golf

Any boxing experience besides video game boxing is limited to goofing around with kid gloves or that blow-up Bozo thing that could be knocked over and pop up. Oh, and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, of course.

I played roller hockey for fun and on a recreational league team and any ice hockey is mostly limited to the Sega Genesis.

Polo? Yeah, no, in any form.

5/5 for +3000

A simple 5/5.

I played Little League for a few years.

Never played "real" golf, but I have played Par-3 and tons of mini-golf. Boxing and hockey are only in the video games.

I knew chukka, but not in time. Would've been an LL get easily.

Didn't know the boxing terms. Knew polo from mallet, others at least 2 terms.

Apologies to a certain poster but I couldn’t pull golf. Got the others.

Have played baseball and golf in real life and virtual boxing and hockey.

Played baseball in Little League and high school, have played four or five rounds of golf in my life, including at least three offce best ball tournaments.

Boxing and hockey in video game formats. I don't remember ever playing Rock 'Em-Sock 'Em Robots, though I think my brother may have had the game.

No experience with polo at all. Have been on a horse many times, but have never tried to hit something from the saddle. Not a ball, not even a jousting target.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

Got the top three, clammed on the bottom two. $1200.

Played baseball in many different forms (actually played baseball, video games, Strat-O-Matic, board games...). Played mini-golf, one hole of real golf, and Mario Golf. Played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and Ice Hockey. No experience with polo.
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

5 for 5, no sweat...

Played some Little League baseball, and have played some golf.

Have actually seen polo in-person at Griffith Park in L.A. It's hard on the horses, to be sure... But it's harder on them in water polo...
