Beginner Golf League Ladies

[ScorpioSquared]

I know there's been a previous thread a few years ago on this topic since closed. I am a beginner golfer looking for other beginners/semi interested in playing perhaps once a week come fall. I am new to TV as well and have not played here yet. I'm feeling if I don't jump in my apprehension :22yikes:will just increase . There's only one way to improve and learn and that's by playing! Anyone interested? I plan on attending the TV's golf etiquette class as well.

[Love2cruise]

I would be interested. I am planning on taking private lessons in September when we return from a trip. I have attended the golf etiquette class and found it very helpful. Please keep me in mind & we are neighbors, I live in Sanibel.

[cab1948]

I come back down to TV in Sept....would love to play in your group...keep me in mind...also went to the etiquette school and took beginner golf lessons at Arnold Palmer...pm me anytime

[Bonnevie]

I will send you a pm. I'm leaving for 12 days on Wed. but will be back end of July. Would be able to play then. I've taken lessons but haven't played in years. like you, I've been putting it off.

[ScorpioSquared]

Thanks for responses. will be in touch in fall. we are back in early oct. I plan on taking etiquette course too. Thanks ladies.

[Toms River T&D]

Scorpio, we will not be back to TV until the beginning of Nov., please keep me in mind. Would love to get together with some beginner ladies. I did play on occasion about 20 years ago and a few times this past winter. Will be getting some practice this summer in NJ. Thanks!

[quietBern]

I will be back in The Villages on Oct 3rd. I live in Sanibel and would love to join your group

[ladylake1]

I am a frog so I'm around all the time. Would be interested in playing with other beginners. Please put me on your list.

[dotti105]

I have played once, years ago. But plan to REALLY learn to play. We live here full time in Gilchrist and I would love to play with some other beginners.

I inquired about the "New to Golf" lesson series and was disappointed that for over $250 they don't get you out on the course at all.

I have ridden along with my hubby as a spectator and learned quite a bit. But I do need lessons.

If you form a group, please keep me in mind. Maybe we could get 8-12 ladies and make some new friends while we learn.

[Janet & Carl]

I am a frog, I live in Sanibel and I am interested in a lady's beginner golf group. Please forward information as it develops. Thanks, Janet

[cmorozko]

I'm interested in playing golf on a regular basis . Live in Collier.

[Blessed2BNTV]

Looks like you have several ladies including me! I'm taking lessons starting August.

I live in Hadley.

[darcadi2]

I live in the Village of Hadley and would be interested. How do we talk to anyone about it!

Pat Donahue

[JC and John]

Could you please let the rest of us know when and where you'll be playing?
:jester:

[paulascorpio]

Girls, I live in Pinellas. We are a group of girls that are fairly new to playing golf. Some started playing in January. We do have a great time with lots of laughs. We play on Tuesday mornings and then all go to lunch. We are a group where most of us are south of 466A. You can PM me if you are interested in playing now. We are all still learning and taking lessons and learning from each other. You are welcome to join us. There are about 10 of us that are here all year and about 4 girls that are "winter girls". Some weeks certain girls can play and some cannot. So, there are always spaces for a new face and a new friend.

[Janet & Carl]

Please contact me. Thanks, Janet

[ScorpioSquared]

yes will do. won't be until October.

How nice! Sounds like a fun group and time!:smiley:

[FosterMomma]

I would love to play "chicks with sticks" golf with some beginners... golf is a bit intimidating to me but I would love to learn and meet people. We are moving down in late October, 2015. Anyone interested? I'm a seriously bad player that would like to get better and now that I'm retired, there may be hope.

[FosterMomma]

What's a "frog"?

[Emmakrock@yahoo.com]

I would love to play. I'm a beginner in Sunset Point

[devohna]

am new to the villages and new to golf played a couple of times but would love to be part of a beginner group after mid-september. should be settled in our house by then.please keep me in mind will be living in summerhill not sure if it is close to any of the other villages listed

[greenhillsgirl]

Me too. Also a frog. Going to PA en of September, back October 12. Would like to be a part of ladies' beginner lessons 😃

[ScorpioSquared]

Ladies,

I began this thread and unfortunately, literally the next day after my posting I had a tremendously bad fall here in MI. I tripped on some uneven pavement broke my upper arm and tore my rotator cuff. I've had surgery however, my recovery will be long. I won't be up to golf in October. It's my first full fall/winter in TV and my planned activity list is now very short. I hope someone puts this group together it has the potential for fun and friendship! If this group does come together, don't be surprised if I try to "squeeze" in when I'm back to "normal".

I'm refusing to feel sorry for myself as it could have been alot worse. I'm looking forward to coming to TV and meeting new people and exploring the activities that I'm able to do. Thanks for all your responses! :thumbup:

[TinaandJim]

I am interested as well. My name is Tina. Keep me in mind as well. I live in Gilchrist

[Sanbo]

Make a contact with me when you decide to start playing. I live in Pinellas.

[Sueffle]

Count me in! I have never been on a course, but have taken a few beginner lessons and am looking forward to sharing the "joy". Should be a hoot.

[Katydid33]

I'd like to join in.

I've taken the beginner golf lessons and have played a few times, but I'm still very much a beginner.

[FosterMomma]

Hi Scorpiosquared... I'm also a Scorpio so we will either love or hate each other!

We are moving to TV in late October and I would absolutely love to play with another anxious beginner. I'm determined to learn but am new to the game and frankly have been afraid to play up north where people seem frustrated if you are slow. The fact that there are golf courses here specifically for newbies is amazing and takes away a lot of the pressure. I'm looking for a relaxing way to get outside regularly and play with other nice "chicks with sticks". How do we stay in touch... befriend?

[finallyavillager]

I am also new to LaBelle and will be there late September. We should post notice at mail station to see what kind of interest there is. I bet a lot

[xcaligirl]

I am a full time resident and would love to get together with other beginners to play! I took some semi-private lessons and I used to play YEARS ago. If anyone is interested in playing, please let me know. I look forward to meeting some new friends as I'm relatively new to the Villages. My name is also Tina.

[patrusk]

I would love to be part of a group of new to golf gals. I live in collier and will be back September 30 and will be in town until late May. I went to golf school at Palmer Ledgends last winter and have played some rounds in TV. Please keep me in the loop.

[Tootsie's Mom]

OMG! ScorpioSquared,
I am so sorry to read of your accident. Please take care of yourself and if I can be of any help to you when you arrive, please let me know.
Tootsies Mom (Bobbie)

[dotti105]

ScorpioSquared,
Your accident and subsequent surgery sounds dreadful! Please take it easy and let you body heal. Golf will still be here when you are ready to play!

I finished the "new to golf school" on Friday. The instruction was good regarding technique and hand placement etc. But we had very limited time with a club actually in our hands. We only used 4 clubs, so I still have lots to learn.

I was under the impression that we would have the clubs for the week in order to practice in the afternoons, but that is not the case. That was very disappointing to me. I would have liked to practice what I was taught each day.

Once the course is over we have access to "demo clubs" for 30 days. I went to get my demo clubs today and they gave me 4 clubs (5 wood, 7 iron, Putter, Pitching wedge) and the bag. No driver. Oh, well.....

My hubby took me out to play my first round today. I was pathetic. But I can get out of the bunkers well....that is the one bright spot.

Lots of room to improve....that's for sure.

I am certainly interested in a newbie ladies group. PM me with info ladies, please!

[electricblue]

Hi I live in Gilchrist too and I would love to learn to play golf. I have taken the week course at Palmer but am a dismal player...lol...looking to join other "novices".

[nanarusk]

Keep me in mind.Live in ColliEr. Be bacK End of sept.

[ScorpioSquared]

Thank you Dotti...it's a slow process. I hope you ladies get this going. My attitude with golf as I'm not good.... ego can't get in my way or being embarrassed. I just keep trying. :sigh:

[Gerald]

There are many groups for beginners. I personally run one on Thursdays toward late day or early evening. The group runs from the second week of July to May or June depending on weather. You can join the group no matter were you live in the villages. Male or female, single or couples. The group plays from the green tees. We have games on the course to improve your golf skills. All you need to learn is the village rules of golf. Which is free from any golf course in the villages. My email is (gerrijerry@aol.com) . You will need to provide village ID, a phone number and an email to join. Each week you would receive an email with where we are playing and when. After golf many go to eat out. You do not need to keep score. There is NO cost to join.

[Shadow8IA]

What's a "frog"?

Frogs are residents that live full time in The Villages and plan on staying until they croak!!

[davekroupa]

Call my wife she plays on Wednesday morning with one other, they both just have fun and then depending on time go out. They have fun….reply to me if interested and I will have her send you a phone number.

[patrusk]

Have been following this thread. Am arriving in TV the end of this month....Village of Collier. Really interested in a beginner group ASAP. Took lessons at Palmer last year. Anyone else wanting to play? A fun, friendly group?

[TinaandJim]

I am interested. I think I replied to this thread before?? My name is Tina. I live in Gilchrist. I would like to get the golf ball rolling.

[patrusk]

Ok, Tina, looks like two of us so far. You're in Gilchrest. I'm in Collier. Close enough to cart together. I'm arriving September 30. Keep checking this thread. We can get together and come up with a plan.

[FosterMomma]

So if I told you that I am so new I actually haven't figured out what Village we will be in, would that scare you off playing with me? Our new home is on Summerchase and I'm told that's sort of across from the Savannah Rec center. I've never seen the house. :(

We are moving down in the last week of October and I'm definitely looking to meet and play with equally bad golfers!

[patrusk]

You're up north but we can always figure something out. Keep an eye here.

[SALYBOW]

I am down south but we could play in between, like maybe Pimlico.

I am "up north" as well. In Santiago Village which is next to the Savannah Center which is across the street from you. I golf equally poorly at courses north and south of 466. You will become very familiar with 466 and 466A once you arrive here. Have golf cart and will travel as far as it will go to play golf!!!

[FosterMomma]

Thanks Pat!

[striveforhealth]

Very interested! Live in Polo Ridge and just learned this summer. If there's any way of having the league be on Sat or Sun, I'd love that since I still work. Thanks

[lambchop285]

i am interested - I live in Buttonwood - i try to play a few times a month but it doesnt always work out that way!

[Tootsie's Mom]

I am basically at 466. Right behind the high school in Belvedere. Pimlico would be excellent for me. But I travel well. Mia, we will arrive in T V tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting you. Your hood is about a fifteen minute golf cart ride away.
Bobbie

[FosterMomma]

Tootsie's Mom... five more weeks! It's hard to believe!

[patrusk]

OK The UHAUL is packed and we arrive in The Villages on Wednesday. Would it be good for those who are in TV to get together for a meet and greet? Those not yet in town .......we'll do emails and phone numbers. Then we can actually come up with a plan that includes all who are interested. I'm thinking Palmer Ledgends might be a central location where we could meet in the parking lot and organize ourselves over lunch. What do you think, ladies? Also, not being very adept at these sites, how do we share private info like phone and email?

[FosterMomma]

Is Palmer Legends one of the easier courses?

My email is mpmwilkinson@gmail.com and I don't think we have a phone yet. I would love to hear from all of you but if you email, could you include your TOTV name and your real name? Without yet being able to put a name to a face, it's all a bit of a jumble!

Arriving late October! Yay!

[FosterMomma]

I wish our truck was packed... sooooo jealous (but only in the nicest of ways)... I have put my email in this thread already so count me in!

Palmer is the Country Club. The courses associated with Palmer are all championship courses which are harder and require a fee to play or additional membership to play. It would be best as beginners to stick with the executive courses. The exec courses are free to play. You pay a $4.00 fee for each person playing golf and riding in a golf cart. Folks who walk the courses pay nothing. We buy a yearly trail fee. It's easier that way. The executive courses have numerical par values from 1-5, 1 being the easiest. I suggest we start with
courses with a 1 or 2. I am not at home right now to look up the names of the courses when we all meet for lunch at Palmer, I can bring a list of the courses.

Good idea to meet for lunch at Palmer and get this thing rolling. BTW, safe travels and welcome to TV.

The best way is for each person who is interested to send a private message(pm) on this site to you. You can either answer each person with a PM or just gather the email addresses and send a group email with a date and time to meet at Palmer. I will send you a PM to get you started😀. JC

[Alittlepieceofparadice]

If you get enough response my wife is trying to learn. I am afraid I am not the best teacher and she would benefit from learning with a group. We have had a home here for five years but just moved down full time. Please let us know if you get this off the ground.
thanks

[Tootsie's Mom]

An initial meeting at Palmer is a great idea! Name the day and time. I'll be there.

[averda]

I am interested in a beginners ladies golf group also. Moved to TV in July this year, took lessons at Palmers awhile ago. I live in Gilchrist and my husband and I have joined a beginners group that plays Thursday evenings, so that time would be out for me. I may also know of a couple other ladies that might want to play with ladies only too. Just let me know when the meet and greet will be.

Hi Dottie,
I hope you continue to enjoy and improve on your golf. Don't feel too disappointed that you weren't given a driver to practise with. The driver is probably the most difficult club in the bag to hit (followed closely by a 64 degree lob wedge!) and beginners that start off struggling with a driver are putting themselves at a disadvantage right from the start. They grind away with this fearsome club every time they stand on the tee and are only giving themselves negative feedback which won't help their later playing ability. The pro gave you the most sensible clubs to start with. A 5 wood (or even a 7 wood) is much easier to use: not only is is shorter, but the loft will get the ball in the air and you will feel like you are hitting 'real' golf shots. This will give you confidence as well as more enjoyment. As an experiment, you could try going to the driving range with a borrowed driver and a 5 wood, and seeing which one gets the ball further - you might be surprised.
I hope you don't think I'm dictating, I'm only offering a little friendly advice although I do sincerely believe it will make you a better golfer in the long run, especially if you combine it with a few lessons.
I'm just another lady golfer who was lucky enough to benefit from a very good pro and I like to pass on his suggestions whenever I can.
Enjoy your group!!

[jaray]

I am a beginner and would be interested in forming a group this fall. Also up for a meet and greet.
jvvaldillez@gmail.com

[quietBern]

Hi I'm in Sanibel and would love to join your group. I am here till mid November and return after Christmas till summer arrives (and the heat LOL).
What day are you thinking of going. I am available All day on Mondays, Tuesday afternoons, all day on Wednesdays and Thursday's.

We live in St. James email is art_cpa@yahoo.com.
We are here full time.
Thanks.

[Shadow8IA]

I'm interested also. We'll be back next Monday. I'm also wondering if anyone is north of 466 because it might be easier to split in to two groups.
Shadow@wctatel.net

[FosterMomma]

We will be down at the end of October and are across from the Savannah Rec Center on Summerchase Loop

[patrusk]

Ok.....having driven through the pouring rain from PA I'm so happy to be here. Looks like we have enough interest to organize ourselves. Can we possibly meet on Monday, October 5, at 12:00 in the parking lot at Palmer Ledgends Golf Course? If we go into the lot and all the way to the right and park in front of the building where some of us took lessons, we can gather and go talk over lunch. Neither the time nor date is etched in stone. I just chose something to get the ball rolling. For those not in town yet......no worries. We'll organize an email list to include all who are interested. I am not good at this type of forum and don't really know how to,private message so responses here would be good.. If you have others who are not on this forum but interested....bring them. Anyone really wanting to come but needing a different date or time.......let this forum know. Here's hoping this works out!!

[averda]

I'm in. I'll be there Monday 12:00 @ Palmers. Yes, let's get started 👍👍

[Blessed2BNTV]

I'll be there!

[TinaandJim]

I can't be there. We were selected to play in the first group to tee off at the new executive courses south of 466A. Our tee time is 10:30 on Oct. 5. I am still interested. My name is Tina and I live in Gilchrist. Phone 508-493-8644

[cab1948]

The time and date work for me, see you then!

[Barefoot]

I'm also wondering if anyone is north of 466 because it might be easier to split in to two groups. Shadow@wctatel.net
I think Mia will also be living north of CR 466. I'm also close to 466.
However Fireboy and I won't be back until early November.

[patrusk]

Ok.....looks like enough can do Monday. We'll meet at Palmer in the parking lot by the golf school at 12:00. Our goal will be to come up with a comprehensive list of interested golfers. We will include all who either have a previous commitment on Monday as well as those who are not yet in town. We can post the results of the meeting on this forum for those unable to attend.

[averda]

Sounds good

[ladylake1]

Mondays don't work for me. If another day to play is selected I am definitely interested. I'll send you a PM with me email address.

[striveforhealth]

I ke now I'm in the minority - I'm still working full time, so if there's any chance for a group in the evening or weekends, that would be great. Thanks!

It's great to have a "take-charge" person in our midst. Thanks.

[lambchop285]

I know there's been a previous thread a few years ago on this topic since closed. I am a beginner golfer looking for other beginners/semi interested in playing perhaps once a week come fall. I am new to TV as well and have not played here yet. I'm feeling if I don't jump in my apprehension :22yikes:will just increase . There's only one way to improve and learn and that's by playing! Anyone interested? I plan on attending the TV's golf etiquette class as well.
i am interested - I work Part time and that might keep me from playing on certain days but i can try to work around it... I live in Buttonwood...

[FosterMomma]

I will be with you in spirit!

[patrusk]

Just a point of clarification.....Monday's is not necessarily the chosen golfing day....just a day to have a meet and greet. We will collect real names, emails , addresses and phone numbers. So just stay tuned!

So glad that this is going to happen. As the OP on the this thread I wish I could participate. My arm is still a work in progress since my July fall. I can't jump in now but could you please include me on your interested list? I'm hopeful one day I will! Great way to organize!:pepper2:

[FosterMomma]

Joan, Hopefully your arm won't stop you from joining whatever after golf activity there is... lunch?

[lambchop285]

is anyone interested in organizing this a little better? maybe set a date to meet somewhere to discuss some details???

[averda]

We are meeting today at Palmer in front of the golf academy at 12:00, having lunch and working toward getting this started. Hope to see you there.

[patrusk]

Well, ladies, 8 of us met today at Palmer Ledgends for lunch and we started the ball rolling. We found that Tuesday was a good day for the majority of the gals so we decided on that as our playing day. We also put together an email list that allows us to move off this forum. We realize that some of you were unable to attend the luncheon for a variety of reasons. You need to PM cab1948 so you can be added to the email list. We are taking baby steps here as we attempt to reach the top of the learning curve. Our next step is to collect ID numbers so we can set up start times. There will be missteps along the way but we will figure it all out. In the meantime......think of a name for our group!. Again......PM cab1948 to get on the email list. Happy golfing!

[Barefoot]

is anyone interested in organizing this a little better? maybe set a date to meet somewhere to discuss some details???
Ok.....looks like enough can do Monday. We'll meet at Palmer in the parking lot by the golf school at 12:00. Our goal will be to come up with a comprehensive list of interested golfers.
Lambchop - hopefully you saw the post in time to make today's meeting.

[Barefoot]

Well, ladies, 8 of us met today at Palmer Ledgends for lunch and we started the ball rolling. We found that Tuesday was a good day for the majority of the gals so we decided on that as our playing day. Hey Pat, thanks for getting the ball rolling. Will it be Tuesday at dawn? :mornincoffee: Did you decide on a time?

[FosterMomma]

Dawn? What about lunch after?

[TinaandJim]

I could not make the Palmer meeting today. We were selected to be one of the first groups to golf at the new executives courses today. Debby A. said to send my email address to you: tinasranger@gmail.com. My name is Tina and I live in Gilchrist

[Barefoot]

Dawn? What about lunch after?

I was thinking more of afternoon golf and Happy Hour after! :beer3:

[FosterMomma]

Whew!

[patrusk]

For those of you continuing to post....please PM cab1948 with your name, phone number, email and village name. Tina, I will add your email to the list but please contact cab1948 with the additional info so it can be included for the group. All group members will receive everyone's contact info. It is my impression that we will meet again before we actually "tee off". Our next meeting will be announced via email.

[Barefoot]

I've sent a PM to Cab with the question.

[cab1948]

Hi Pat, It's just Carol....I misplaced your email and ph number! Can you please either call me or email me your info...hope you read this. Thanks

[FosterMomma]

PM'd you Carol... (Cab1948)... hope you got it

[golfergirl2000]

Check out Sandra and Ryan at Golf YOUR Best in Oxford (352-751-5122). They offer individual and group lessons, as well as great 1 hour short game clinics. They also offer on course playing lessons. They are both wonderful instructors. Good luck with your golf group and happy golfing!!!!

[paulascorpio]

Hi Girls:

First I second Sandra Chester at Golf Your Best. She is awesome. Great way to start to learn and play. I took her week long lesson and continue with a 1/2 hr private when, I have the time to tune up and learn some more.

Second: We have a group that plays on Tuesday's, usually mornings and then we go to lunch. With season, it could be anytime within a 4 hour window due to the amount of people playing.
We can use a few girls that would like to play every week. We do a lot of laughing and a lot of talking even while playing. It's about the game but more about our relationships. We enjoy each other. We still classify ourselves as beginners. We started playing last Jan/Feb.
We live in Pinellas and a few live in Fernandina. So if, you're in our area (south of 466A) and want to play send me a PM or an email: paulascorpio@me.com

Always......the more the merrier!

[mccr05]

I am interested in playing. I will be back to the villaes nect week. Please keep me in mind. Thank You!

[ScorpioSquared]

Joan, Hopefully your arm won't stop you from joining whatever after golf activity there is... lunch?

I can ALWAYS lift a fork Mia.... :mmmm:

[patrusk]

Ok, ladies. I have sent out emails to many of you. We will do a second lunch Wednesday, October 14 @ Palmer at noon. We need to exchange ID's and talk logistics. Out first golf date will be October 20. Check your emails. If you did not get one, just join us.

[That Girl]

I am interested also, will be arriving in TV Oct 20th. I live in Buttonwood.

[Linda Ballard]

I am out with a pinched nerve. Would be interested once I am up and running again.

[CBRamsey]

Yes, please me in mind as well.

[barbara828]

I would be interested in a beginners group.

I've done the New to Golf. I'm un-athletic. I was in dancing school when others were in softball.

[happywoman]

I live in Belvedere and would like to join a beginner's group. Send me a private message about whether you are still putting together a league.

I know there's been a previous thread a few years ago on this topic since closed. I am a beginner golfer looking for other beginners/semi interested in playing perhaps once a week come fall. I am new to TV as well and have not played here yet. I'm feeling if I don't jump in my apprehension :22yikes:will just increase . There's only one way to improve and learn and that's by playing! Anyone interested? I plan on attending the TV's golf etiquette class as well.
I am a beginner golfer and would love to play with a group of other beginners. I have taken lessons but have not played a great deal.

[SALYBOW]

I am not available on Tuesdays. Any onr interested in Wednesday?

[babsy67]

I am also a beginner. I have taken lessons and played down here in TV and also back in NJ.
Just came down and will be here for 6 weeks, and returning in January. I am in The Village of Hemingway. Please keep me in mind. Thanks,Barbara

[cab1948]

Anyone who is interested in this group, please send me a private message and I will give you more details. We have had alot of interest. Just a reminder that we are meeting today, Wednesday, Oct 14th at noon at Arnold Palmer for lunch. We are going to start playing next Tuesday morning. If you are interested please come and bring your ID number. If your not here yet, please PM me and I will give you my own email address so that when you are ready you can write directly to me.

[Gary Coggins]

I would love to join a beginners women's golf league. I assume you will contact me through these posts. P.S. I don't have my own account so I am using my husbands account.

[niftynanna]

I would also like to start playing again. Took lessons and played in a group, but had to stop because of neck problem. I am ready to start again and would like to be in a beginner group and meet new friends. Moved here from NJ last year, live in Largo.

[FosterMomma]

It's wonderful that so many people are interested (we won't be down until Nov 1st but I will definitely play). I just have a thought... what if this group could play on one of two days a week? That would mean that people who were busy on Tuesday could still be involved on the alternate day and people could move between the two? Or they could play twice a week! Just a thought. I'm happy any day!

[quietBern]

SallyBow, I am available for golf on Wednesdays also. Pm me.

[eileen6715]

I would be interested in joining a newbie golf group. I just took a few lessons and need LOTS of practice with no pressure. Please keep me in mind. I live in St. James.

[cab1948]

Okay, we had our first successful golf outing last week and we had a great time! Afterwards, some of us went to lunch at Bonifay. If anyone else would like to join our group please PM me with your email or phone number and I'll give you the info. If you would like to play with us next Tuesday morning, let me know by Friday at noon. I'll also need your Village ID

Dotti105,
I have been here and even though I have played crappy golf on and off for 30 years, despite a couple private lessons last year I still am not great. I tried the Ladies Day Golf but they seemed pretty serious about the score and were very good.

I'm starting a Baby Boomer Gals Club soon which would have various activities (golf, lawn bowling, thrift shopping/lunch day, movie/lunch, pool time, etc. but the group would decide, so it's not the same activity each time. If you are interested let me know.

I would be open to golf with you or a group you put together that are "beginners," that just want to have fun. I do live in Mira Mesa north of 466 and I would go at least as far as 466A..

Let me know.
Debbie

I'm south of 466/466a but would be interested in this group. I'll pm you my email address. Great idea.

[priscilla]

I am really interested in those who have replied to wanting to find beginner woman golfers in the villages. For those of you who would like to get together would you email me at Seidersmith@aol.com. I would like to hear from you.
