Looking for friends to play golf.
 
Hello everyone, my name is Joe (59 years old) and I just move here (Fenney). I’m looking to meet partners to play golf, male or female. If there is a club or other ways to meet golfers, please let me know. If you are interested, please text me 718-619-2091. Thanks in advance.

Just my opinion, but after 2 months in The Villages, I'm good with booking a Tee Time when & where I want and playing with whoever I end up with.

I have the advantage of meeting a raft of great people and I don't have to deal with the complications of making Group Tee Times.

Make some tee times, you will be paired with players. You will meet very interesting people.

Just make a Tee time, you will meet a lot of people, then go from there.

Exactly. Just as others have said, put in for some tee times as an individual and you'll meet plenty of new friends. That's how I started out. Yeah it can be scary but don't dwell on what others think. I found most strangers I played with were courteous and helpful.

Talk to your neighbors. You'd be surprised how many of them have regular games, with multiple foursomes, and are in need of someone to fill their group...

You'll be surprised how many golfers there are who don't have friends and intrude on groups that do have friends.
Ask your neighbors if you can join their groups, or start a Friend's group of your own and start from there, the best way to go.

"Intrude"?

Well, some renters on my street are under the impression that they have rented the whole community along with the house. They expect everyone to welcome them as their long lost brothers or something. Usually they themselves make no attempt to be considerate. Not many people are like that but we’ve had a few.

So I understand “intrude”. But the OP sounds like they’d actually like to be with people who want them. That sounds considerate to me.

If single there is Single Baby Boomers, Sumter Singles, Single In the Villages, SAGA.
If married, there is Baby Boomers South, Baby Boomers North. Do a search for clubs in the Villages. Lots of clubs that golf.

Meeting Golfers
 
No one mentioned joining the Men's Day group on Tuesdays, You won't always get paired with the same gents and could meet someone with similar interests and schedule to play elsewhere on another day.
