Quoted from VolunteerPin:

What other hobbies can you be so pathetic in and still have so much friggin' fun?

Golf. Haha. I play at least 30 rounds a year and I have never broke 90. Woof

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

Good answers to my question. Looks like golf, sex, and fishing are reasonable contenders along with pinball.
Good thing too. I like golf and sex. Sadly I don't "play" either one nearly as much as I'd like.

Ain't that the truth.

Quoted from PersonX99:

I know how they work and can fix just about any issue with a machine. I create mods and totally pimp out my collection, but, yes, as far as playing skills, I suck.
Worst part is I know a number of good players and they have no interest in helping the lesser players get better. It's some sort of competitive mindset. No fun to play pinball with either.
So instead my pinball parties are full of (fun) people who aren't great at pinball, but we have a great time, drink beer and play pinball all night long.

Not saying I am great at pinball, but having fun is first and foremost. I hope I am never around those good players you speak of. I practice A LOT, and if I have a friend come over that stinks, but wants to learn, I will sit with them on a game all night and share my knowledge with them and help them get better. Sounds like those good players you have come across are scared that if too many people find out about this awesome game, they might not be considered that good any more.
