I have loved golf since I took it up when I was 11 years old. When I moved to north Florida and bought a home on the golf course some 45 years ago, it was like a dream come true. Arthritis has taken its’ toll and I can no longer play, but I still sit out on my porch and watch the golfers go by.

Most of the golfers I watch going by are seniors. Young people are just not taking up the game. They would rather sit on the couch playing with their devices. Our club is struggling to stay afloat. I’m afraid that I may one day end up with a pasture behind my home.

That would suck bigly. Best of luck to you for a good outcome.
We've talked about what might happen if I get to where I'm no longer able to keep up my "property improvement" and if a golf community may be something to consider. Dunno if I could "submit" to a HOA. That combined with the horror stories we're familiar with from Myrtle Beach communities makes them something to eye suspiciously. But fortunately here in NC there's a lot of nice public courses embedded in decent neighborhoods.
I'm not sure how well hanging a deer or hog for gutting would fly in a "controlled community" anyways. Hehehe.. d;^)
