This came from a mis-spent youth playing darts and dominoes for the local social club

My Sundays were spent playing golf in the morning and snooker in the evening so the sports questions fell into my lap really

Late today, been one of those days...

Sterling performances all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo - the golf one was a guess, as 3 strikes in a row in 10-pin bowling gets you a turkey too 🦃
