That's sounds like a pretty sexist statement. Tons of women play golf. There may be more women than men.

Beside that, there are a lot of other activities that women are involved in. Many play other sports. In fact, bowling is the number one sport in The Villages. There are women's softball leagues, women's pickleball leagues, women's tennis and volleyball groups. In addition, there are mixed groups for all of these activities.

If you're not an athlete, there are women's and mixed groups for almost every activity you can think of. If you can't find one, start one. I did.

The idea that men come here and have all the fun while women meet and play mah-jongg is ludicrous. There are mah-jongg clubs here, but there are as many options for women as there are men.
