As to be classically elegant, you'll only need to master one sport and be a spectator of two other sports in order to genuinely acquire the sports layer of class. Its best to set a routine to do sports. Make a time every week, every month etc. For example, Colin and I go on a couple of ski trips every year, usually more if a mountain of snow is less than a couple of hours away.

As for tennis and golf, I'm trying to create seasons into weekly and monthly lessons. I'm fortunate I like these sports very much, because they help me get over the "I hate myself" when I struggle to learn them.
