People buy new homes all the time.
The Bowie News has a real estate section in which you can peruse homes for possible purchase, in and around Montague County and in neighboring locations.
This week, however, the real estate transaction everyone is talking about took place in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas.
PGA Tour golfer Jordan Spieth bought a home in Preston Hollow, an exclusive neighborhood which serves as the home for Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban, Maverick forward Dirk Nowitzki and British singer George Michael.
Former business executive and presidential candidate H. Ross Perot, former United States President George W. Bush and energy baron T. Boone Pickens are prominent Preston Hollow residents. Mary Kay founder Mary Kay Ash also lived there before her death.
Preston Hollow has a reputation for luxurious mansions, gated communities and a heap of wealth.
What makes Spieth’s purchase newsworthy?
Well, the young man is just 21 years old.
So, what kind of digs did Spieth purchase. On the half-acre lot, there’s a spacious home with 7,378 feet of living space, the expected outdoor swimming pool and a 288-bottle wine closet. There are five bedrooms. Come on, stay the weekend.
There’s also a putting green on site. Jordan, you’ve done well. How very convenient. Spieth put down $2.3 million for this adorable abode.
Spieth generally works out at Brook Hollow Country Club, which is now less than a 10-minute drive from his new home. Read more from this column in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
