How can you beat that?

No one really knows what you are worth. The have's and the have not's share the same facilities. It's not like home where the have's play the $100 courses or join the $5k country clubs and the have not's golf after 3pm on the cheap courses on weekdays.

I live in the south end of town but I don't know if I made the best decision. All the offbeat things are up north like archery, woodshop, lawn bowling, croquet, air rifles, bowling, and more that I can't think of. The food stores I like Aldi's and Fresh Market are up there too. I also like the idea that the executive courses up there are mature and I think easier to get on.

PM me and I'll tell you how you can beat the cost of a a golf cart and ride in style.

Then again if you have been trolling for a while and see a lot of uncaring people on this site, or people that seem snobbish I have to wonder how I missed that. If you are looking for hatred and class distinction you may not be happy here at all.
Yeah I get all the benefits, because I fell in love when we would visit my mom. I'm crazy of the place and can't wait to get there. Most of this discussion was based off of something my mom's neighbor said, but I kind of figured that was what SHE felt. I won't have any problems making friends in an out of TV. I'll be getting a divorce next year and am looking forward to a smaller home without a freaking magnolia that sheds 52 weeks a year. I haven't played golf in a couple years due to the cost here. I could probably afford the cost, but they move you like cattle and I don't feel I get my money's worth. So heck yeah, I'm looking for the free golf and will probably join a couple clubs. I just have to see what the budget is. I'm only 53 so I'll still be working. Won't be a problem finding a job as I am a high end computer geek. Looking forward to get there.
