Default golf cliques??? Really!

b4 injury, I would jump in games and always enjoyed meeting new golfers every day...In fact, I would enjoy jumping in games MORE than my regular golf 4'somes in North Carolina...Retirement allows you to expand your horizon....The Villages allows you this opportunity....At our private club in NC you didn't have this choice...

Does anyone realize living in The Villages you have more volunteers than you have positions available? People trying to learn or play social games are not truly welcome by the regulars. Many exercisers, golfers and pool regulars have become cliques that are hard to break into. What else is left, a life of solitude?? The College seems to repeat the same old, same old courses and we are way beyond them. Any comments would be appreciated.
