Naples - Top 10 Best Places to Retire

The Wall Street Journal recently reported Naples, FL near the top of the list for places to retire in the U.S.  Naples has been ranked the third best place to retire behind Sarasota, FL and San Antonio, TX.  According to John Brady, founder of TopRetirements.com the best cities for older Americans have good weather, access to health care, low crime-rates, low property taxes, and a certain "wow" factor. Florida is one of 7 states without a state individual income tax and Collier County (Naples) has one of the lowest property tax rates in the state.  Additional factors taken into account include access to adult education and cultural activities.    

  

Ft. Myers, FL also made the top ten coming in 8th.

Golf Tip of the Month  

 

Learn to flop.

 

The flop shot is one where you hit a ball that goes almost straight up into the air and lands softly on the green. This shot comes in handy when you cannot hit a chip or pitch close to the hole. To hit a flop shot, open your stance and place your weight on your front foot. Without using any wrist movement, swing the club from outside to in so that the path of the club slices under the ball. Keep the face of your wedge wide open and swing as if you are hitting a bunker shot out of the grass. If you practice this shot, you will be able to use it when you need it to save strokes.
