Ah, the pleasure of calling the club on Tuesday for a Wendesday mourning T-Time. Only in the summer time in South Florida is this possible. I was talking to a fellow golfer from Chicago in the pro shop, at PGA National where I belong and also live, and he asked where were all the people? I told him that they are back in Chicago. He said that I must be right. He is here on business and wanted to get a round in on short notice. We had a threesome so I asked him to join us and he did. May through October at South Florida golf clubs totaly out of phase with the rest of the world above Jacksonville. He said that he has to call 4 days ahead to get T-times at his club in Chicago. He could not believe the facility we have at PGA and the fact that there were so few golfers using it. When I told him we had 1100 members he was flabergasted. Most of them have two or three homes scatered around the country. We had a great time. I gave him a one of my Illustrated Properties business cards because we talked real estate and golf during the whole round. He still couldn't get over that we had the whole place to ourselves. I have a feeling that I'll be hearing from him in the future. Its a great life, play golf and get real estate prospects, even in the summer in South Florida.
Perry, are you trying to rub it in for those of us that live in places like VA where we too have to wait in line for a tee time? Just kidding. Good luck with your new friend and potential client!
