I spent my life in the golf business and playing golf. I no longer play because of some physical issues.
I remember hearing on a television program about the Villages that only about 35% of the residents play golf. That was surprising to me because the place is really sold as a golf community. There are something like 40 nine hole par 3 courses and ten regulation courses. Every ad that you see shows people playing golf and offers "Free Golf for Life".
I had friends who moved here because of the free golf.
