Well, I took lessons for years and years when I was young, but haven't touched a piano in a long long time, so I didn't feel right mentioning it in my application. I'm not great by any means.
I was also on the golf team in college. However, I did not make the traveling squad. And the time I was called up to play, I couldn't go because the tournament was a two day tournament and it interfered with my OCHEM lab. And because I was on academic scholarship, I felt that OCHEM was more important. So, I wanted to put that on my app also, but didn't, since I didn't consider myself part of the team since I never actually contributed. I just practiced with them.
Golf is my true passion though. I absolutely love it. I know golf is not the best thing to mention when talking about manual dexterity, but it does take great eye hand coordination. I consistently shoot in the high 70's low 80's from the back tees. I think thats quite an accomplshment as golf is about the hardest thing I've ever tried to master, including the piano !!
However, I don't get to play much anymore. I did go out the other day and shot the best round of my life, a 75
(OK, now I'm just bragging
😀 )
