\"Kilimanjaro<\/a>…Golf.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing that I\u2019ve been writing my blog for quite sometime and have not written that much about golf.\u00a0 I think perhaps I am a bit intimidated, as living with an avid golfer I\u2019m afraid I am going to get something wrong, or more likely golf is such a big part of The Villages and there is so much to cover I always wanted to make sure everything I said about the courses was accurate.\u00a0 Putting caution aside I am going to share with you what I know, what I have been told and what I have read.\u00a0 Here goes. You may be wondering if I am a golfer.\u00a0 First let me say that for 15 years I lived on a golf course in New Jersey and for nine of those years I was on the Board of Directors of Deer Run Townhome and Golf Club Community.\u00a0 As directors we were involved in every phase of the golf management, from the pros to the carts to turf management, in other words everything. Do I play golf? My answer is I am on my second set of clubs, my clubs have been re-gripped a few times, I have golf shoes, and golf shirts and shorts, golf visors and sunglasses.\u00a0 I have taken lessons twice to improve my game.\u00a0 Sounds pretty impressive so far?\u00a0 No, don\u2019t be impressed,\u00a0 I have only practiced a few times, I have only completed one round of golf\u202618 holes.\u00a0 My biggest thrill on the golf course was a double bogey, watching a killdeer protect her young, coming upon a possum with about 12 babies on her back,\u00a0 oh and I also enjoy riding in the golf cart. I have promised myself that I am going to start playing seriously and that is why my clubs have been re-gripped, in anticipation of my using them. Sean, my avid in house golfer, won\u2019t play with me because I\u00a0 won\u2019t practice.\u00a0 Many times in the evening we would go out and hit balls and I would get tired after about 10 minutes.\u00a0 This is very frustrating to someone who can hit balls for hours to improve his game. He doesn\u2019t understand that I just want to play, I don\u2019t want to practice. If you think I am avoiding the subject I probably am, as there is a lot to say.\u00a0 If you go to the top menu and click on golf I will try to do The Villages proud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
