Best Places to Live

In each issue of Masters Athlete in 2008, we'll provide an in-depth examination of the top 10 places to live for a specific sport. There will be a new sport in each issue, and the sports range from cycling to golf to skiing. We judge the best places to live according to four criteria: climate/terrain, training and playing facilities, events and number of local participants. Here's a list of the "best places to live" sports we'll be covering this year:

January/February: Pickleball

March/April: Triathlon

May: Running

June: Cycling

July/August: Tennis

September: Softball and Baseball

October/November: Golf

December: Skiing

Roughin' It
By Dan Rabin
Roughin' It Some people long to live in a place where the choices for activity include, golf, golf and more golf. Or at least they'd like to visit such a place. There are plenty of places that fit that description on our list of top 10 golf towns. And Bandon, Ore., which is a golf town like Pittsburgh used to be a steel town, tops our list of golf destinations. Bandon is like a golf-oriented retreat, where there are three basic things to do: play golf, talk golf and think golf. South Carolina, it should be noted, has three towns in our top 10: Hilton Head, Kiawah Island and Myrtle Beach. Read on to find the other towns on our list. . . . keep reading...>>
Diamond Towns
By Dan Rabin
Diamond Towns For Masters players, we believe there's no better city for both softball and baseball than Sacramento, Calif. The city has a thriving Men's Senior Baseball League outpost, it's the home of Senior Softball USA and the weather is ideal for the games. Sacramento beat out some tough competition for the top spot. Also on our list is Long Island, N.Y., where the Men's Senior Baseball League, a seminal group in the evolution of Masters sports, was founded two decades ago. And there are so many great softball towns that we had a hard time limiting ourselves to the cities on our list that were chosen mainly for their vibrant programs in that sport: St. George, Utah; The Villages, Fla., Manassas, Va.; and Virginia Beach, Va. Read on for more towns on our list of the best places to live for Masters softball and baseball players. . . . keep reading...>>
