I have visited TV twice a year for 4 years now and I have yet had one person ask me to play golf or go out to dinner...All people there is willing to give you is alot of lip service on how great it is there and how much there is to do, well unless you are in the click you are just another shopper ....The tour is a set up from the property owner...Special cards that are color coded so the buisness owners will know who you are...All the buisness people are prompted to wave at you as you ride by in the bus...Don't get me wrong, it is a great place to live with some good and bad people there...It will be the same there as anywhere else you may go....After saying that let ME BE THE FIRST to have you and your partner be my guest on the golf coarse or have dinner there, and I can show you around....At least I made the offer !
Just my thoughts

Sorry thistruck, but we've been living in TV for 8 months now and couldn't disagree more...we've been openly welcomed by all we've encountered, whether around the neighborhood, in town squares, at recreation facilities, on the golf courses and everywhere else. We're younger than most of the typical residents and thought we might not be readily accepted or feel awkward joining their group activities...we were so wrong. We play golf in a neighborhood scramble every Sunday afternoon, it's really a great time...playing 9 with a new couple each week then going in the clubhouse for dinner & socializing...doesn't get any better!
We also discovered that a fine way to meet new people to play golf with is to keep personal business sized info cards in your golf bag to hand out during a round to folks you're compatible with in golf skills or other interests; we've handed out a bunch, leading to many rounds with new friends at TV.
In summary - one should weigh thistrucks opinion of TV as a 2 week visitor against those of the full time residents and decide for yourself.
So thistruck, next time you're visiting TV let's play golf; let me be the 1st to invite you to play a round of golf. Please reply and we'll make the plans.
