I'd rule out Jamaica for the time being. It's gonna take them a while to recover.

Does she have family there?
Yes, though she has never seemed interested in living there.

But the ole battleax is Jamaican and is not nearly in tune with Ohio as I am, so I might as well prepare now for moving somewhere warmer.
Problem is you'll prolly spend as much time inside because of the oppressive heat as you would from the freezing cold. Choose your poison i gues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as things now stand I'm going out of my starter house toes up

Inside in the cold far superior to inside in the heat, as well.

Places in the US with really good weather are expensive, film at 11 ...

I like the idea of traveling around and pondering what you think about this or that place for retirement.  One small city I like is Greenville, SC.  We visit there on occasion.  One can potentially live NEARish a place one likes and travel there when the mood strikes.  That's why Nevada was on my radar for a bit, no state income taxes, some nice areas, near CA.

To golf in the cold, dress in layers of moisture-wicking, insulating, and water-resistant materials, warm up thoroughly with stretching, and adjust your game by playing one club up, choosing lower compression balls, and walking more to stay warm. Staying hydrated and keeping your grips dry are also key strategies for comfort and performance.

On-course strategy
  • Dress in layers: Use a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer (like a quarter-zip sweater), and a waterproof or windproof outer layer. Avoid cotton, which holds moisture.
  • Warm up properly: Spend extra time on a thorough warm-up with stretching to prevent injury and get your body moving.
  • Walk more: Walking helps keep your blood flowing and your body warm. You can still ride, but walk between shots when possible.
  • Modify club selection: Cold air is denser, so your ball won't travel as far. Plan for at least one extra club for distance.
  • Keep grips dry: Use a towel to wipe off your grips between shots to prevent slipping.
  • Use hand warmers: Keep your hands warm with hand warmers or heated pouches.

Equipment adjustments
  • Use high-visibility balls: Bright-colored balls are easier to see in lower winter light.
  • Consider your ball: Lower compression balls can perform better in cold weather.
  • Protect your gear: Keep your equipment protected from the elements.

Other tips
  • Stay hydrated: It's still important to drink plenty of fluids.
  • Be flexible with your expectations: Don't expect the same performance as you'd get in warmer weather.

they're running out of water but worry about that when it happens.I just had 5" inches of cold fluffy water drop all over my neighborhood. Blew it off 5 driveways in an hour & a 1/2 and got my work out in also. Gonna go out finish tidying up the stars/walks feed the outside birds then come in and feed myself some Narragansett Lager. New England-based brewery founded in 1890, best known to the locals like Yuengling use to be. It's 5% ABV, smooth and tasy and got it at the corner for 12.50 befroe tax :dance:. Life is good

Hard to find the ball in 6 inches of snow and even harder to sink a putt when the cup is filled with snow.

Nevada only has a few places that are anywhere near a major hospital, should one's age catch up with them.

Outside of Vegas or the Reno/Carson City/Lake Tahoe area, there isn't really much of anything.

It's also pretty cold, if you are north of Clark County (Vegas).
