My folks lived in Florida for 18 years.
Used to love visiting, playing some golf, going to the beach.

I’m sure the golf is still good, but I could never imagine ever going again.

@davidfowler @realTuckFrumper I lived in Florida for a few months. Even tried golf. Didn't take long to figure out neither were for me. Too, too hot in the summer and for the life of me, I can not figure out the appeal of golf. Take an egg, try to hit it with a weird stick several hundred yards away, chase it down just so you can knock into a hole in the ground with another weird stick. Do that 9-18 times faster than your friends (quicker -- less times hitting it). Nope. I just don't get it.

Glad I don't play golf...just another addition to my list of reasons I would never visit FL.
