Golf.

You are outside in a park like setting enjoying nature. You play the course, not your opponent.

Hands Down Pickleball! I could easily play every morning and not get tired of it - great exercise too! I thought moving here to the Villages I would be all about golf - I enjoy golf, but could take or leave it (I play maybe twice a month). Funny how that worked out. I’ve met so many great Villagers through pickleball.

I play both. I wish I could play PB more than I am able to. If my body could hold up to the stress I'd play PB every day. I like golf, mostly for the social aspects, but I love PB.

Pickleball became popular just about the same time as my physical limitations became a reality. Residents, in good physical condition, can enjoy both golf and pickleball. For me it’s golf. Fore…

Hopefully someone won’t come up with pickle golf and further degrade a great spot like what happened with frisbee golf?

Yeah. I know. But since my dad decided I was going to play and he would be my teacher, I have often thought "golf" sounded, well, kinda disgusting. Like a dog trying to vomit. Is that really the best name the Scots come up with? Oh, well. After all, what is in a name? A rose by any other name ..... you know. 🫠

If and when I get over 250 pounds to too old or to lazy or to fat to waddle then golf sounds like good alternative. But then playing cards would be another alternate?
