Why can't you live next to a golf course in the DC metro area? I drive
right by what looks like a very nice course with residences (South
River) when I go to Annapolis. I've seen plenty more.

I can stand on my back porch and throw a rock and hit the fairway of a
golf course right now. But, when the temperature gets into the 40's it
is a little colder than I like when playing golf.

You frequently claim to be "wealthier" than I am. I can afford one of
those houses, so you surely can. There's even a listing there with a 50'
dock...so you'd have a place to park your boat, if you ever bought one.

The question you have to ask is why are so many of the homes in that
neighborhood for sale and why are so many of them reducing the prices?
It could be that the golf course sucks.

Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should buy it.

Remember the wealthy don't get wealthy by spending frivolously.
