Wanted: singles willing to join foursomes. Looking for local swingers who want
to meet new partners.
Get your mind out of the gutter. This isn’t a kinky sex ad.
It’s the basic idea behind singles golf, one of Southwest Florida’s newest ways
to bring together groups of single people.
The group hosts golf tournaments and cocktail hours designed to break the ice.
Those willing to pay an annual $70 membership fee, plus course and cart fees,
have the chance to meet and mingle with potential golf mates. And possibly score
a date.
“We want people to have a chance to meet over common interests,” explains Sandy
Morse, founder of the group. “Golf is the best way to bring people together.”
Over the past 10 years, Bonita Springs and Naples have become fertile ground for
singles groups. And golf is one of more than 30 local meet-up functions
available throughout south Lee and Collier counties, a list that includes such
groups as Singles of Bonita, Singles of Naples, In-betweeners, It’s Just Lunch,
and Naples Singles Ski Club.
On Wednesdays, there’s singles night at Fusion Bar and Grille in Bonita Springs.
On Thursdays, singles head to Cozze Steakhouse for Single Travelers Group, a
Bonita-based group of singles with an itch to see the world.
And every Sunday evening, the Three Oaks Banquet and Conference Center in Estero
hosts a singles dance.
These events tend to attract the same people. Singles at one event often flow to
the other, forming a weekly singles game of hopscotch.
