Back in 1997, we bought a plot of land in Pinehurst, NC as at that time Pinehurst Club membership came reasonably and we thought playing 6 eighteen holes of golf from #1 thru #6 would be great. It also had about 18 tennis courts, lawn bowl facility, huge lake with a small beach and boat not to speak of use of hotel pools. It also had a quaint town with a small park designed by the same person who designed NYC Cental Park. We were thinking of retiring there. Forward, 2005 and our type A friend decided to retire and retirement magazines and pamphlets in hand from NC to Key West. After the search, they decided to settle in TV. They said they'll give us all the pamphlets and magazines for us to check out. We visited them once and decided, if we are to retire, TV will be it. As great as Pinehurst is and especially now with their 3rd U.S. Open this year, in the winter the place is still too cold and town is practically dead. To us nothing compares to TV. Drawback is too many activities and don't know which ones to quit.
