Thanks

We spent 9 winters in Sarasota and moved to TV bascially beause it offered many more activities for my wife and I.
The member-owned Country Club we belonged to offered basically golf and tennis(almost no one used the pool) and was not managed well. Costs kept rising while services diminished. Mandatory food options at the club were narrow, at a high price also.
Even though we are snowbirds, dues & food minimum were year-round. We had to have a family membership, even though my wife did not play golf or tennnis.
Unmarried couples who lived together had the choice of a family membership, reasonable if both played golf and/or tennis, or a blended single Golf / single social membership if in our situation. Thought this was unfair!
TV affords wife and I many more activities, many of which are interesting to her, and at a better price. I still play golf but also picked up Pickleball! Many more food choices at more reasonable prices.
Enjoying it here much more.
