See how friendly we are at Black Diamond Ranch...
Recently, in early March, one of our esteemed members "produced" a "Night of Nostalgia." Black Diamond has hosted several "Follies" and "Christmas Chorales" in the past, lots of dances, a karaoke night once in a while, etc., but we've never experienced a night quite like "nostalgia night." There will be another coming up in early "ought-nine." Leave me a message if you'd like to be a guest: jimgive@gmail.com.
Most of our past performances were comedy "skits": we had Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (yours truly and wife, Laney, pulled that one off to the tune, "That's Amore"), We parodied Jimmy Durante, Laugh-In skits, Lucy and the Chocolate Factory, The Honeymooners and several others. Laugh? Thought we'd all died and gone to heaven! Cheeks were hurting, there was so much smiling and laughing.
Of course, this all goes to show what a friendly place we have. I have personally lived in over 10 cities and towns in this country, including Hawaii (temporarily) and I can honestly say there is no friendlier place on earth for my money. Folks who come to our "member/guest" two and three-day tournaments (complete with heavy, heavy hors d'oeurvres, open bar, breakfasts, lunch and dinners, including a final dinner dance, have "never seen the likes" of the hospitality and amenities that befall them. They always, without exception, leave with nothing but the most complimentary comments--and it's usually about how nice everyone truly is. They simply can't get over the comradery and pleasantness of our memeber. Often, there will be comments about past clubs (even their present ones) and how snobbish, stuffy and affected their members are. You never hear that about Black Diamond Ranch. The reason has to be that everyone here loves it so much, that they've already gone to heaven. This place is definitely golf-heaven and you don't even have to be a golfer. Many spouses are not and they love it the same, it seems. The thing we hear the most from guests who have bought in Florida elsewhere is: "I sure wish I'd known about this place before we settled. We're thinking about selling and moving here!" (Of course, I can arrange both. Call me, Jim, at 352-249-4484). E-mail: jimgive@gmail.com.
The nature coast is a great place to live. There are so many things going for it. Click on the area blue links above most pages and you may be pleasantly surprised at the places to go and people to meet.
Check out the URL below to see our skit on the Night of Nostalgia and listen for the laughter of the crowd. It would be impossible to say that they're not enjoying themselves.
Let my wife, Laney and me take you to our club for lunch or dinner and have you see for yourself about what I say being so true. It may well be a night you will not forget soon, as well. Read the blue link, "about me" and see if you think we're compatible for a day or so. If you're thinking about the best golf community for all the right reasons, think Black Diamond Ranch. Give me a call now and we'll find a common time.
