Any other tips (other than taking golf lessons).

Research the local churches. Within 10-15 minutes there are all denominations with some fine people. As you make friends there you may begin to learn about some of the over 2,000 clubs in TV as well as church groups. In perpective, we recently had guests for a few days. I took them to Spanish Springs town square to see the entertainment attendance. They were amazed at how busy it was on a Tuesday night. THEN, I took them to Lake Sumpter Landing and Brownwood where both town squares were just as busy. Sometimes, it's hard to explain just how big and how much there is to do in TV with most of it available via golf car depending upon where your home is located. TV is about 20 miles north to south and 5-7 miles east to west. Do what you want the first week, month and year. What you find 3 months in might mean more to you than the first week. Be open minded and enjoy TV.
