I went the first time when I was 10. The food was very good. Spinning the huge lazy Susan was a treat. Even though I lived in McComb for 7 years, we only went once a year or so.
re: If you were 18 & going to college in todays environment, what major/career would yo go to?

Some combo of robotics and AI, but I am a technical guy. It wouldn't be a good fit for a lot of others. I wouldn't be a good doctor or financial planner, so picking the right field of study starts with understanding your lane.

12 is really good. Not sure either MS school is going to win more than 12 in basketball.

Unless some bigs step up, we won't win a lot of SEC games, but the 3 guards are legit, and they will keep us in a lot of games Right now I would say giving up 2nd chance points is our biggest issue You work hard to get a stop and then give them another chance because of lazy rebounding.

MSU down 2 to SF with less than 3 to play. Hubbard went down 2.5 minutes into the game.

Not for MS. Jackie Slater would be a candidate for best O lineman of all time, and there are plenty of all-pros to round out the rest of the line.

In general you can get on most public courses as a single. I was skeptical when I went down to Pebble Beach to try it. When I went in the pro shop to inquire about a possible opening for a single, they asked me if I could be on the first tee in 10 minutes. I paid the fee (ouch), went to the tee, and was off and running. People make their reservations early, and something always comes up for several players during a typical day.
re: Fuzzy Zoeller has passed away
Posted by Allyn McKeen on 11/27/25 at 4:35 pm to bstaceyau19
I had 2 interactions with Fuzzy. I played in The Fedex St Jude pro-am a few times One year a guy I played with was trying to get autographs for his son. He asked a very drunk Fuzzy for an autograph, and Fuzzy said, "frick you and your son.". The guy walked away. A few minutes later Fuzzy showed up at our table to apologize, and offered to sign for the guy. He no longer wanted the autograph. Fuzzy reached in his pocket, grabbed a $100 bill, dropped it on the table, and said, "Drinks are on me." Well, it was a pro-am and drinks were on Fedex. We gave the money to our server.
I met him 20 years later in The Villages. He and Peter Jacobsen were promoting their vodka at Nancy Lopez's charity tournament at our Lopez Legacy course. He didn't look good, but he was very nice to everyone.

I taught an internet marketing class at Ole Miss one year. The number of good-looking girls in the class was ridiculous.

Good Lord. UNO banks a 3 to tie the game. MSU banks a 3 to go back up with 1.9 left.

Hubbard had 4 in the first half and 21 in the 2nd half. State went on a 14-0 run to force OT, but they could have won easily with reasonable FT shooting.

I live in FL with a bunch of Yankees and everyone of them was talking about the piss and miss this morning after golf. They were all disappointed to hear that the game was no longer on Thanksgiving.
re: Most unique grandparent names (what their grandkids call them) you've heard of?
Posted by Allyn McKeen on 11/23/25 at 1:23 pm to Sull
My family only sounds strange because the names aren't American English.
In Denmark you dad is far and your mother is mor. Your mother's mom is mormor. Your mother's dad is morfar. Your dad's mom is farmor. Your dad's father is farfar. If you have a step something you use best in the name like bestmor or bestfar. In most cases the r is dropped at the end of far for grandfathers leaving morfa and farfa.

It will involve some committee members jumping up and down on the mattress. I don't think you will be allowed to watch.

re: What are the nicer public courses in your area?
Posted by Allyn McKeen on 11/19/25 at 1:07 pm to makersmark1
All of the courses are within 30 to 35 minutes by golf cart. I live in the middle of the community, so most of the courses are within 15 to 20 minutes by cart. If you live towards the north or South border, the longest drives will run you an hour by cart, so most people will take a car and pair up with someone more local. I have 4 executive courses within 5 minutes and another 20 or so within 15 minutes.
I think you can go anywhere in The Villages and throw a rock in any direction, and you will hit someone in the head that is playing golf. We do more than 3 million rounds per year.

It is 918 holes. We have 15 championship courses with 18 or 27 holes each. We play the 27 hole courses in waves. Tee times run from 7:30 to 9:28 for morning rounds. Foursomes. If you start on A, you go to B for the back nine. The people that start on B go to C. The people that start on C go to A for the back nine. For example, I am at Evans Prairie tomorrow. I start on the Osprey 9 and turn to Egret. I won't play Killdeer. On Friday I am at Havana and will play Kenya and Hemingway. The afternoon wave starts just before noon. The courses with only 18 holes have straight tee times all day.
The rest of the holes are executive courses or pitch and putt courses. The executive courses are par 27 to 29. The pitch and putt courses are 9 holes under 100 yards. Very good for wedge practice to real greens. All of these courses are free for residents. There are 50 or so of these courses. There are 4 in my neighborhood.

It is a 55+ community, but anyone can come in to play the courses. Residents get a reduced rate, and you can buy an Enhanced Membership for lower rates and higher priority for tee times and course selection.
If anyone is ever interested in The Villages, they have a Lifestyle Package where you get a house, cart, and membership for a few days so you can see what it is actually like to live here. When you visit, you keep telling yourself that this place can't be real, but it's real.
... and the STD stories you always hear are a myth.
