Congratulations on your upcoming home build and WELCOME!
Golf, ah the game many say is a good walk interrupted...lol.
Golfing just takes practice and a few lessons will get you started. Practice, practice, practice will get that ball flying straight. Just don't overdo it. There are lessons given within the Villages and some outside the compound. Try starting out at one place and see if you do well with the instructor.
One thing that's important to learn is golf etiquette. Learning not to stand in the wrong place when someone is teeing off, remembering not to talk when someone is hitting, learning not to walk in another's lie when putting, learning to be ready when it's your turn to hit are just as important as learning to hit that little ball. These things might be taught by your instructor or you can ask your golfing mates to help you with the "rules" as you play.
Remember to just have fun, don't take the game too seriously, enjoy the fresh air and take a break if you need it. There are times when I won't play a hole if I'm hot or tired. I've been playing for over 40 years and I wish I could say I was good at the game.....
