Tell Me Where to Move for Best Tennis

[Angle Queen]

HH is a nice spot, indeed. Plenty of amenities and appropriate COL.

But be forewarned, the summers are hot. And humid. SW heat does not translate into what we experience here in the SE. It's a different animal entirely. You do get used to it (I think, I'm a been-here) but it will, literally, take your breath away at times. Good luck with your adventure. We should all be so lucky (and skilled) to have the ability to choose a good retirement time and spot.

Money will do it.

And we should have homes in multiple retirement places as no place is perfect.

Reminds me to check on my villa in Monte Carlo and the apartment in the Burj Hotel, Dubai. I might also give in and buy one of those private islands for sale in the Caribbean.

Northern New Mexico.
Its the best combination of home prices, space, weather and scenery.

I think he meant resist or reverse.

^^^LOL at all three journo-style context-twisters! I'm now the same weight I was at 30, but the head-fat % has been reduced drastically! Now if I could just remember where I put my carkeys...

Tighten trucks, end of problems, add 20 mph more speed, total control.

I know a few guys in their mid 60s that are incredible players, so I have to disagree with such a harsh statement.

I keep hearing that Atlanta is a good place to retire, can anyone confirm. I know they have great leagues (ALTA) but how about clay courts ?

I'm considering Bradenton/Sarasota, Florida. How's tennis life down there?

You can't go wrong anywhere on the Gulf Coast from Clearwater to Naples. The summer is sticky in comparison to the Atlantic side I described (Vero to Jupiter).

Cool...I'm heading down there in couple of weeks for a quick visit. Definitely bringing my racquet.
