The phrase "close counts" is often associated with the sport of horseshoes, where players aim to throw horseshoes as close to a stake as possible. In this game, points are awarded not just for ringers (a shoe that encircles the stake) but also for shoes that are close to the stake. The concept can also apply to other sports like darts or Bowling, where proximity to a target is important. However, horseshoes is the most commonly linked sport with this phrase.
Horseshoes (or hand grenades- close counts for both)
Dodge Ball if that counts
No
Well I only think that fast pace heavy metal drumming counts as a sort of sport.
Gymnastics
Well it counts if they like to play sports.Even if the people that have PE (which everyone should have at school) they have to do it no matter what.Except if they have something that is about them that they can't do that sport.
Soccer is his favorite sport. A close second is wiffle ball
baseball ...and fast cars (motor racing) if you think that counts as a sport.
something close to cricket

Oh, isn't that a lovely saying! "Close only counts in horseshoes" is a fun way to remind ourselves that sometimes we may not achieve our goal, but we can still appreciate the effort we put in. Remember, every little step forward is progress, and it's all part of the beautiful journey of learning and growing.
