Keith Nellist suggests that Mostali play golf.

Nah, Mostali don't play golf, a nasty game you play outdoors, they bowl. A perfect sport for them. It's played indoors and allows you to practice
proper grenade technique. They organize themselves in leagues by the type of dwarf they are and are only allowed to use bowling balls made out
of their element. (Makes for mighty poor bowling when you're only a Clay Mostali
and I'm not sure what Quicksilver Dwarves use, aluminum I guess). Mostali
craftsdwarves spend much of their leisure(?) time painstakingly crafting their
own bowling ball for league play. Their big hope is to eventually make it
into the Diamond League because the balls are so pretty. Diamond dwarves play in darkened halls with spotlights shining on the lanes so the balls glitter
and cast reflections everywhere (glow bowling anyone?). They claim that It's more of a challenge that way.

(Hey if it's good enough for Washington Irving, it's good enough for me..)

Not terribly seriously,
