I am working on the second edition of the Home On The Course newsletter, which debuted just a few weeks ago.  The July edition will include some advice on where to find the best year round climate for golf in the southeastern U.S. according to a meteorologist who has devised
Our advice is not cheap; it is free.

something called the "Camelot Index."  We will also explain why "getting away from it all" may relieve stress for now but might cost you in the end.  And we will also take a brief look at one of the southeast's most popular retirement and golf destinations where a nice juicy steak comes cheap but cholesterol fighting drugs do not.
    If you missed out on our first issue, just fill out the subscribe information at the top left of this page and I will send you a copy and sign you up to receive the July issue and all future issues.  The kind of unique advice you will find in Home On The Course is not cheap; it is actually free.  And we will never share your personal information with any other person or business...unless, of course, you ask us to.
    If you have any suggestions for topics we should cover on this blog site or in our newsletter, please let me know.  All you need to do is click on the contact button at the top of the home page.  I promise to respond quickly, and with my thanks.
    Good golfing.

    Golf is a mental game.  The sharper we are, the better we play, all physical aspects being equal.  One of the best ways for those of us reaching our retirement years to stay sharp on and off the course is to take classes at a local college.  
    That is why I appreciate a study by real estate firm Coldwell Banker which charts average house prices in many college towns.  I first wrote about the study a couple of years ago (read here) but I was thinking about it again today as I toured a few college campuses with my daughter, who will be applying to schools in the fall.
    For the most recent Coldwell Banker press release and charts on college town pricing, click here.  When I am off the college tour, I will take a closer look and comment about where the best college golf courses are located.
