That's part of the reason professional golfer Jeff Sluman is ready to part ways with his home in Hinsdale, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Sluman's wife, Linda Scruggs Sluman, said that living in Florida "is better for my husband's golf game".
But the couple was sad to say goodbye because the Chicago area had been their home for many years and Scruggs Sluman was born and raised there.
The four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom custom-built property has a lot going for it, including proximity to the shops and parks of Hinsdale.
Priced at $2.65 million, the home is one of the most expensive listings in town.
White oak floors, barn doors and wood paneling are just some of the stylish details of the home, which is a lovely mix of modern and traditional styles.
A bright sunroom, a dining area surrounded by windows and an open plan layout provide plenty of options for entertaining.
The kitchen has custom cabinetry, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Wolf stove, and a Miele dishwasher.
A fireplace brightens up the family room, which leads out to the lime stone patio at the back.
The master suite has a high ceiling and walk-in closet, as well as a luxurious bathroom and deep soaking tub.
The third level has more sleeping space and the ground floor has plenty of room to store wine and relax in front of the TV.
The gated entrance and fully fenced lot offer maximum privacy. At the back, there is a patio with a built-in fire pit and outdoor kitchen.
Sluman has six victories on the PGA Tour and now plays on the PGA Champions Tour.
His major victory came in 1998 when he won the PGA Championship at The Oaks Golf Club in Oklahoma.
