Newbie women wear pantyhose. Newbie men drive with their left leg inside the golf cart.

I know that when we were new we waved to every person walking,driving, running, or driving a golf cart.We still wave to walkers but have stopped the rest unless someone waves first.Don't think my arm could have kept that up and still be able to throw a softball...lol!!

You can tell when someone is new in the Villages by the way they introduce themselves. They will say something like this: Howdy, neighbor, I'm new here in the Villages......
