Hi -
I’m literally days/weeks from purchasing in TV (The village of Richmond - Fingers crossed, as this village location is extremely popular with people seeking new builds). I’m a single 61 year old male, that will be all-about pickleball/bocce ball/water volleyball, and to a lesser-extent golf. I love having a late afternoon glass of wine at either Harvest or Blue Fin, grabbing a bite there, and then moving onto Brownwood square for entertainment. I’m pretty social, and have found it easy to meet people while eating at the bar, at the squares, having coffee, at the pools and rec centers, etc. I did two lifestyle visits this summer, and have been doing homework on TV daily for about five years, so I feel I have a real good grasp of TV. I’ll be coming back out for a few weeks in a few days. Here is my question — How can I quickly get paired up with a partner or team to engage in the activities I listed? Do I just contact the various clubs, and do they pair me up? I know I’ll eventually meet people who share my interests, but until I do, how do I “hit the ground running” and engage in these activities? Thanks for your replies, and so looking forward to becoming a TV resident and member of the community very soon!😀

OMG! Sounds like somebody done somebody wrong, big time. 😨

Actually, I read the post that OP wanted to pair up for sports and other social activities, not necessarily a romantic pairing.
While I consider your advice basically sound, I admit it startled me a bit. Somebody needs a drink to calm him down. Me. One 18yo single malt, 2oz strait up.

Now, back to the hurricane coverage for relaxation. 😎

Just to clarify - I’m not looking for any romantic pairings - lol - just anyone to share my activities with 😀

I just moved into St Johns, southern most section right near the Okahumpka Rec Center. My wife and I did the Lifestyle visit a year+ ago, then rented in Citrus Grove this past Feb-Apr. Decided this is where we wanted to be, and closed on the house in St. Johns in May. I was rated 3.5 by the Villages Pickleball Community. I'll be checking out the play at Water Lily (closest courts to where I'm at). If that doesn't work out for me, I'll be heading to Ezell Rec Center, where I played just about every day during our rental period. A great group of players - mostly intermediate to advanced players. Depending on your level, either of those 2 locations could work. Once the Richmond courts are opened, that'll obviously be a great option for you...and me as well (5 minute golf cart ride). I'm an avid golfer as well - @ a 15 handicap. Hope this helps, and if you want to hit a few pickleballs, or golf balls, let me know.

That place sounds awful. I'm not surprised it's in the Northern section of the villages.

Are there any places like that further south? I want to be sure I don't accidentally end up in one of them on my next visit.
