Eleven posts and surprised that no one said this -- so let me be the first in this thread.
My wife and I never played golf until we moved to The Villages!! Took lessons 3 years ago and could not believe how much we enjoy the game and of course each other's company on the course.
Two years ago, on the first hole at Bonita Pass, my wife scored her a hole in one. I guess she is the better golfer in the family.
Almost forgot -- The Villagers we are paired up with during the busy season are some of the best, friendliest, and most enjoyable people we have ever met. They are a major factor in our enjoyment of golf and living in The Villages!!!
