Pat and Arne Cook thought they had made their last, best move when they retired to a golf community on Skidaway Island, near Savannah, Ga., 17 years ago. The couple had lived for 25 years in Connecticut, where they raised their four children (and shoveled their share of snow).

Their new community, The Landings, had six golf courses and two marinas. “We were very happy little golfers,” says Pat, 76.
