John_W do you think that if you lived closer to the Town centers that you would go there more often? I like some of the previously owned homes that I viewed in Tamarind Grove and Buttonwood. I am an avid golfer (6 handicap), but my spouse does not play yet. ...We are both 57 years old, born 6 hours apart.

We went every night for the first three weeks because of the Mayflower fiasco, they had our Directv boxes and televisions. We got a lot of work done to our villa but to entertain us at night we went to the square for three straight weeks. After our stuff arrived and we got Directv hooked up, we had a couple of weeks where we just rested and watched TV. Now we go on market nights or if we like the band. Tuesday night we'll be going because the band Yestersdaze is very good and it's a market night. Only takes 15 minutes by cart, which is OK because that part of the adventure.
As far as ages, I'm 61 and have become well-acquainted with three of our neighbors. Across from us is a retired Air Force E-9 who is 63 from Las Vegas and the guy next door is 62 from Long Island and another fellow I played golf with last Saturday, he's from Michigan and has lived here six years and this is his third home, downsizing, I'm not sure but would say he is 65.
I just started playing golf in 2009 but have picked it up rather quickly. I was shooting in the 90's that first summer. I broke 90's in 2010 and in 2011 I have broke 80 once back home with a 78 at Perryville. Here if you use the white tees I feel almost like cheating. I shot an 80 at Caine Garden, a 82 at Havana and today an 87 at Mallory because my putting went south. Just before coming down I was averaging 85 on the courses back in Harford County, so it's about 3-5 shots easier here. I think because the courses are so flat but there is a little more water and sand. I find playing here is very enjoyable, especially when you drive your own cart.
My wife doesn't play either so I have to kind of limit myself because I also want to get involved with softball. I went out for one evaluation a couple of weeks ago but need to have two more before being placed on a team.
