At least you can hit a 4i consistently enough. For some reason, my 3i and 4i isn't behaving, and I need more practice with them. Been spending more time on my 150 yds in at the expense of the long irons Sad

Thats good practice though mate, if you can score from 120 yards then it does not matter what happens with the longer clubs.

Please,

FL is a big time retirement state for old folks. Its just a big piece of a swampland thats all.

Other than the best golfing facilities in the country, yachting and theme parks, there's pretty much nothing else exciting or thriving. Property prices are constantly on a decline now and the economy is not helping it get back up anytime soon.

The weather in winter makes it ideal for all the snowbirds from the northern states to come here for the season. Thats when things jack up huge in prices and its also why I'm not golfing as much as I hope to as those courses I usually get on triple their rates in season.

Its really slow and peaceful...unless mebbe when getting sideswiped by old ppl who can't see for nuts on the road but dunno why they are still behind the wheel.

You realize you just single handedly put Florida onto the top of my retirement places to live list, right? Just above Australia....

Amass savings in the Middle East, develop passive income streams, then move to Florida, buy a nice small place, and play golf golf golf. What's there to do for the wife? My wife isn't into sports, just shopping.

I thank god that TSL is not much of a shopper. Laughing I have to be the one 'forcing' her to get those items.

You can tell ur wives that in US, A/X blouses are like USD$15-30. How not to spend??

Meanwhile, we spend more of our time scouring for golf stuff and courses. Shocked

Your wife is not much of a shopper??? How is that possible??? Does she give classes?

My wife loves the US. The bargains there are amazing. Nine West shoes for a fraction of the price, so she tells me.
