What did you do in TV today.

[Bernie]

Several times I've seen people contemplating a move to TV be concerned about what to do here in TV. The typical answer is there is 400-600 clubs. However it maybe more meaningful if we all just said what we did today. Pick any day.

If we get enough response it will put to rest the fear of being bored.

Let's give it a try.

Well, today I went to the Markets of Marion with two great new friends, Nonie and Barefoot. This week alone, went to Gi-long (exercise) lunch at Johnny Rockets, Parapsychology Club then lunch again. Tomorrow night, dinner with 2 other couples, Sunday night, dinner and a casino event at Savannah Center. Last weekend a dinner party on Sat and a Golfcart Poker Run on Sunday. lol My daughter wrote me an email today and asked what I was doing because my life was much more exciting than hers! I can't imagine anyone getting bored at TV. It truly is a adult playground. We love it more each day. :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

[nONIE]

Chels,

What about the 16 hours on TOTV???? LOL

[jadebox]

Played golf at an Excecutive course with three good friends then went to lunch with them at Glenview. Rested for a couple hours and then went to Spanish Springs and danced and watched the wild and crazy Scooter. Went to Margarita Republic and had a light dinner.

Yesterday I went to see The Bucket List at the Rialto here in TV. The theater was packed with only a few seats at the very front empty.

Before, seeing The Bucket List I had picked up two bratwursts at the Johnsonville Big Taste Grill which is at a nearby Albertson's close to Spanish Springs Square. The is the second year that the Johnsonville Big Taste Grill has been in the Villages. It seems to come here around my birthday of February 24.

Prior to that, I had been at the Doggie Doo Run Run with my dog Sport for about two hours watching him romp and stomp with the small dogs while I listened to various dog owners talk about dogs, house closings, furniture brands, and politics.

You asked a good question but you never provided an answer of how you day or days go by in TV. Is you golf game getting any better!!

Yesterday, Friday, played Pickleball at Saddlebrook from 7:30 to 9:00am. Volunteer Pickleball instructor at Truman from 10:00 to 11:30am. Wife played golf from 11:00 to 1:00. Initial meeting of the new PAC (pickleball advisory committee) at Lake Miona center from 2:00 to 3:00pm. (the word most attributed to pickleball in the villages is addictive). Wifey and I went to the Wellness Center from 4:00 to 5:00, the hot tub at the end of our workout is my favorite part. Just happened to meet up with neighbors at the Wellness Center and decided to go to the new Big City Grill for dinner with them. Scheduled to go out to see The Bucket List with same neighbors next Tuesday.

Today, Saturday morning, I know most people in the villages are experiencing cabin fever as we are having a very uncharacteristic thunder storm. So no one can go out and play:).

The greatest assett of the villages is its people. I swear they put something in our drinking water here to make everyone so nice, friendly, and active.

[Russ_Boston]

Didn't do a darn thing! Oh wait I'm still here in MA. Never mind!

[Bernie]

7:30 did a 6 mile walk / run. Trying to get back into running and managed 1 mile run. Golfed - did great (beginner) 1 over par except one really bad sand trap. Did some landscape work and leaf raking. Went to doggie park and walked the dogs. Talked to Comcat about signing up for better service. A little wine-ing and off to Taki's for chicken piccata back home and checked out TOTV.

Richie - miss you down here. As they say "COME ON DOWN"

May want to go early to get a good seat for The Bucket List. The people who arrived just as the movie trailers started at 1:30 for the 1:30 pm showing of the BL yesterday got stuck with sitting in the first few rows. This movie started in TV around Janaury 11, 2008 and is still getting almost full auditoriums.

Chels,

What about the 16 hours on TOTV???? LOL

16 hours is an awful long time to be on a computer. Beware of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

[another Linda]

And we are spending our day packing so we can spend a month at TV!! Yea!!!! Once there we will play golf, tennis, try pickle ball (something more addictive than TOTV?), ride bikes, dance in the squares, have hordes of visitors. Oh, yes, I also have to bring my computer so I can work. Bummer.

[nONIE]

Gemorc,

I have a tendency to exaggerate. I dont think Chels was really on the putter for 16 hours,
at least not all in one day! ;)

[Russ_Boston]

Bernie - 1 over par and you are a beginner? Either you cheat or lie or are a tremendous athlete. I assume athlete since no one on TOTV would be a cheat or lier. :joke:

Russ
First game I ever played was last year --- hence beginner?
Course was a par 3 and probably one of the easist courses in TV (Chula Vista). Par 28 / score 38 with six strokes on one hole (the sand trap). No I'm not a great athelete but I do like running and used to do fair in competition for my age group and eeked out few running trophys each year until 3 years ago due to injury. I'm just now starting back running. I see in another post you'll be here late April. Hope to see you.

[chelsea24]

Oh yes, Nonie, I did forget my hours on TOTV. Great fun! 8)

[Russ_Boston]

Bernie - we'd make a great fit. I also run for fitness (need to do more!). I'm currently a 11.3 USGA index. I'll be there in TV starting on April 26th. If we can get together for a round on a executive or championship course that would be great. I'd love to play with someone from TOTV while I'm down there.

PS - I was just joking about the lies and cheating. I assumed it was a par 3 course although as any golfer knows they can be real challenging as well - just not long!

[golfnut]

Bernie, I'm confused, one over par would be a score of 29.

[jadebox]

Bernie, I'm confused, one over par would be a score of 29.

He is probably like me--one over par on each hole is an fabulous accomplishment!!!

[Russ_Boston]

Well, that's a horse of a different color. But bogey golf is still admirable for any beginner.

Isn't that how you score it?

[Bernie]

Bernie, I'm confused, one over par would be a score of 29.

Golfnut
No wonder I'm getting some well deserved flak. I meant to say I averaged 1 over par for every hole except the sand trap. 10 over par for the game. Thank you for pointing this out. Gee can't a beginner use the other scoring method?

Russ
I'll be glad to play a round of golf when you come down. Also now you just gave me some more motivation to keep up the running.

As another beginner I had no problem understanding you. ;D

[golfnut]

Hey Bernie, no flak intended, just trying to figure out just what your score was. As Russ pointed out bogey golf (9 over) is a good score. I've been golfing over 40 years and am happy on any given day shooting bogey golf. Keep up the good work. Wish I was there in April to join you. GN

Today, Sunday
Waited around for our son and his wife to show up to our house. Watched Tiger Woods. When he won gave up waiting and went to Glenview CC for dinner. There was a singer there. We sat in the bar area and ordered dinner. My husbands steak was so tough he could not cut it. Sent it back and got a very good steak. I had french dip slidders and they were great!!! Son and his wife joined us at the CC and we had good time. It is ashame steak was bad first time but they did fix it.
