A great day at play and work at Ibis Golf & Country Club

My husband and I were invited to Ibis Country Club this past weekend for a round of golf, some real estate discussion, and some house hunting…my kind of great day in the country!

I always give at least 20 minutes to range work before I play every round; it’s both mentally and physically therapeutic for the muscle memory of my golf swing.…but this day was the pits!!!!

This is the most difficult game I have ever played. But, that day at Ibis, our friend happened to be watching me warm-up, while waiting for his wife to finish her golf lesson.

He said he admired the way I came onto the range very enthusiastic, armed with my various irons and woods, only to begin looking like I’d never hit a ball in my life. He was impressed with how I slowly worked my self out of my “rut” and starting hitting the ball straight and far… he was clearly aware that I was being patient as I got into the swing.

Serious golfers like me all work hard on our game and it’s my amateur opinion that the best pros on this earth can’t teach you secrets, it’s all reinforcement, patience and confidence.

So practice with confidence…be patient on the range, and do not get psychologically overwrought if you miss a shot on the golf course.

By the way, I sold a lovely property at Ibis; our friends were ready to upscale their home, but wanted to stay in the same community so I came prepared with all the homes for sale there. So after our game on the Jack Nicklaus designed Legends Course, our friends made an exquisite purchase.

They love the community and I know why. It has several large courses, a lot of golfers – both men and women - large dining facilities and a wonderful social agenda. I’ve had the pleasure of playing there frequently and have always enjoyed the courses and the atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a large golf community, I’d be pleased to show you all the delights that make Ibis Golf and Country Club a wonderful place to live your life on the links™.
