I think the biggest "draw" here is the beautifully maintained "feel" to this very large place. I sometimes think as I drive along in the golf cart that the Astors and The Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers didn't live as well. We have not acres, but miles of flowers and trimmed bushes and green lawns and whimsical squares and people who have lived long enough to appreciate the joy of leisure and the opportunities to explore and enjoy what they didn't have time for before. I have NEVER once run into anyone who in answer to the question, "What made you choose The Villages?" said THE FREE STUFF. We are mostly hard working, law abiding people who have good taste and have carefully planned and diligently saved and sacrificed to live well in these later years. WE ARE NOT POOR in spirit or in character or in fact. We are careful and independent and fiercly proud and one of our collective horrors would to be to accept "free stuff" as a matter of daily living.

The good thing is there are only a few of these type of people. Most golfers are great people and are just out having a good time.

My neighbor works at the golf courses and thinks golfers are rudest, most demamding and selfish people in TV.

When we visited some friends in TV, my husband was taken out to their "free" executive golf course to play golf. He was surprised to see that it was only par 3 and was completely unchallenging. The grass was in poor condition. I guess he was spoiled after having played golf in Pebble Beach, CA. But these "free" courses are great for those wanting or needing to practice everyday before attempting the championship courses.

As for loud golfers, anyone who drinks becomes louder. I suppose that doesn't happen with the folks who only drink top shelf.

No, it doesn't happen to people who have manners and know how to drink, unlike out of town traveling salesmen types

I think it is the “long” pour that causes the loud noise.
