What do you think? If you have been retired and living in The Villages for 10 or more years, do you play less (and not because of getting shut out) than you did when you first moved here?

Personally, I play less, and I've only been retired and living here for less than 2 years. I have just found so much else to also do that I find it hard to fit more than 2 9-hole rounds in every week.

Plus, now that I live in the Sunshine State, and can golf pretty much year-round, I find that I don't feel I have to get out there every day the sun is shining.

Maybe when TV is built-out, and there are no more lifestyle preview visitors and not as many new residents, demand will lesson. There will always be renters and seasonal residents who bump up demand in season, but I imagine that at least the seasonal residents will play less as they age and settle in. Not the really avid golfers, maybe, but perhaps the rest of us?

Just a theory . . .
