Young Moe.........I say that because I'm older than you are and I'm telling you strait out that if you don't come down here and take a lifestyle visit , you will be cheating yourself out of the best time of your life......
I retired in the panhandle of Florida and came down here headed for Tampa for a cruise and toured the area.....I came back for a week and bought a house ......Its the darnedest place I've ever seen.........At age 70 your going to be shocked to see how young you are compared to everyone else...Last summer I played with a guy who was 92 and he was walking the course , I offered him a ride in my cart but he wasn't interested......A side note to that story is that he was hitting consistently 10 yds short on every hole and I asked him why he played from the blues , if he played from the whites he would be on the green nearly every time...He stated that he had always played the blues sense he was a young man and he always would.....I could see my suggestion was not going anywhere so I shut up but he was a great guy......(true story).....so pack your bag and take a chance ,,,,you'll love it...

Having fun fumar .......
