Many people have a list of things they’ve always wanted to do, or always wanted to spend more time at. These might be hobbies that they tried a few times and really enjoyed, but for which they just never found enough time. When most people look back on their lives, the time they spend doing the things that they enjoy most are the times they remember most vividly and with the greatest emotion. Enjoying life is really about building as many of these memories as possible in the time available. Making time for leisure and enjoyment should be a top priority.
Many people enjoy the game of golf, they may have played a few rounds here and there over the years and always wanted to practice and play enough to improve their game, but somehow just never got around to it. Yet, there are things that can be done as part of anyone’s everyday life that can increase the opportunities to pursue these little desires that everyone harbors. Using golf as an example, the biggest choice one can make is to make sure that when they buy their next house, it is close to a golf course, or better yet, adjacent to the course.
Living right next to the golf course means that one can walk out their back door whenever they have a spare 45 minutes or an hour, and play a few holes. There’s no travel time or packing up the clubs into the car, just tee up and play. The opportunities to play golf become endless. We create opportunities in our lives by the choices we make.
Too often we make decisions based on things we don’t really enjoy. Is the new house close to the office, how are property values in that neighborhood trending, and other pragmatic considerations. Instead, major decisions should be largely based on how much enjoyment and richness they add to our lives. Instead of worrying about potential resale value, ask if you’ll enjoy living in this home. If you enjoy being there, then resale value becomes irrelevant since you’ll never want to leave.
Living next to a golf course isn’t just about golf. Think about it, you have a virtual guarantee that the wide open spaces around you will never be built up. Rolling fairways, tree-lined grasslands, ponds and all the beautiful natural scenery that goes along with a golf course will be there in your backyard for as long as you own your house. It’s a great place for those interested in bird watching, or people watching for that matter.
People who live in golf course homes are people who have their priorities straight. Make it easy to enjoy yourself, and everything else will fall into place.
