My neighbors are older and set in their groups.
My question is, what is the best way for me to find guys to play once or twice per week with.
When I was working there were about 25 or so of us that played every weekend and holiday as well as 9 holes once or twice per week. We usually wagered $10 per round but that is not necessary.
I am just looking for competitive golfers, not hard core but others that enjoy the game. I don’t care about ability, just those that like to play.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I've been in The Villages 3 months and knew no one, when I got here. I play golf 3 or 4 times a week and have been asked if I wanted to join at least 10 different large groups and been invited to play with at least 20 different people.

Easiest place I've ever seen, to find people to golf with ... unless you're one of those folks, that people don't want to play with. I've found a few of those, too.
