I'm sure the headline was written first, then the story was developed to ring true to the headline. Perhaps the "author" never stepped foot in The Villages, judging by the stock photos. Actually, the story around here is pretty boring compared to NYC.

Huh? 120 * 120 = 14400 sq ft. Per Wikipedia a singles tennis court is 78 feet by 27 feet. or 2106 sq ft. You were only off by 680% in your sq. ft.

The average golf green for the PGA tour is 6500 sq ft

So you can fit 3 tennis courts [several] onto a standard size green. Google and a paper and pencil next time please.

I used to know how to do the calculation but.....if the decimal is moved one to the right, the percentage is .04%. Is that correct?

Another treatment (which is not new but has shown to benefit Covid patients in the end stages) is to place the patient in the prone position (face down) for at least 16 hours a day. This is not comfortable but can save lives.This position helps people who are not in the late stages of the disease too. For some reason, the prone position opens up certain parts of the lungs to facilitate breathing easier.

The developer wants to continue the revenue stream from golf, so he/she has modified the protocols to encourage safe practices, as follow; plastic cylinders in the cups prevent touching of the pins, removal of the rakes from the sand traps prevents multiple touching, solo use of golf carts(other than by household members) is required, use of cash payments is prohibited, waiting for tee times occurs in parking lots, and groups are forbidden from gathering after play. I feel safer on the course yhan when I go to the grocery stores where there is little or no monitoring of their safety protocols.

This was NOT stock footage. The photos were taken on April 14th in the afternoon. The photographer is based out of St. Petersburg FL.

Haven't been out of the house enough to notice!

Also not clever enough to keep a mental count of the average number of NY plates week to week.
