Golf is alive on executive courses

MILFORD — Golf has become one of America’s favorite summer activities. It doesn’t matter where you live or what type of course you exhibit your skills on, the sport is hot. This is true in the Lakeland area where several well-kept golf courses provide residents the opportunity to frustrate themselves in the great outdoors. Chasing the little white ball can certainly be nerve-racking and sometimes, a senseless act. Nevertheless, a fun-filled act. Golf enthusiasts, locally, have several courses in which to choose from. The caliber of each individual’s game generally determines the course selection. The more skilled players opt for a larger course. In this area, that usually means Maxwelton and South Shore in Syracuse and Warsaw’s Rozella Ford and Stonehenge. Newcomers to the sport, and less advanced players generally move towards the executive links, toning their skills on less challenging courses. Executive courses are not easy, just shorter than those used by the PGA and golfers thinking they’re good enough for the circuit. Leesburg’s Indian Hills, Big

Nine receive scholarship awards

Recipients of the B. Franklin and Eleanore M. Ringle Educational Trust Scholarship Awards were recently announced by John W. Elliott, senior vice president of First National Bank of Warsaw. The bank is the trustee for this fund, which aids Kosciusko County students in pursuing higher education. This year’s recipients are as follows: Liza Howett, daughter of David and Charlotte Howett of r 21, Warsaw, has been accepted at Northwestern University.

Boulder in Milford and Parmore in New Paris are popular executive courses of many northern Indiana golfers. The three executive-length courses are positive examples that lugger does not always mean better At s ßig Boulder, John Weiss, owner, takes great pride in keeping his course in top playing condition. This summer, amidst great heat and little water, Weiss kept Big Boulder in tip-top shape. In fact, it probably was the best looking course in the area. When other courses suffered with brown fairways and dying greens, Big Boulder was green — fresh as Wrigley’s Doublemint gum. And attractive like the Doublemint twins. But the appearance of a course is just part of the reason people spend time, and resources playing golf. The bottom line is enjoyment. If a player doesn’t enjoy his two hours on the course, he’ll probably never return, “I think it is very important to keep the course in good playing condition," admitted Weiss. “People need to have an enjoyable experience while playing the game.”

of 360. He will attend Grace College in the fall to become a teacher. Darr played soccer while in high school, was a member of the student council, Ex Libris, National Honor-Socie-ty, French Club and Skj/Club. He served in leadership roles as the president and vice president of his class and was a delegate to Hoosier Boys’ State in his junior year. He is very active in the youth work of his church. He is the son of William E. and Joan F. Darr, Winona Lake. Jennifer Kline, daughter of Richard and Kay Kline of r 6, Warsaw, is a 1988 graduate of Warsaw Community High School. In high school, she was a member of the Latin Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Chorale and the National Honor Society. She also is an active member of her church and contributes to its activities for youth. Kline will attend Taylor University to study elementary education. I ek. fIIH TAMRA HOLLAR Tamra Hollar, a graduate of Wawasee High School, will attend Purdue University. She seeks a career in elementary education. Her high school activities included membership in SADD, Drama Club and Varsity Singers. She also served as a student council

Weiss noted, “If the course is so difficult that it eats you up and spits you out, golfers probably will not enjoy themselves.” Because of this philosophy, Weiss carefully manicures the fairways and greens for steady play. There’s very few gimmicks and tricks involved with Big Boulder. It is designed for the leisure—to—improving golfer. The only time Big Boulder becomes a bear is in tournament competition. At that point, Weiss changes pin locations to give the scramble players a stiffer challenge. Golf is an ever-growing sport. According to statistics released by Weiss, the sport is increasing 15% each year. The growth rate, in turn, helps the executive courses blossom into a teaching experience. In time beginning golfers can increase their skill and conquer the bigger, more challenging courses. If they started at the hard courses, Weiss believes they might become discouraged and lose interest in the sport. Regardless of ability, golf is alive in the Lakeland area. With the large amounts of golf courses, it can only improve in the future.

The county fair is underway

(By JENNIFER WOODWARD Staff Writer

The summer must be coming to an end. Soon enough the honk of a school bus and the ring of a bell will signify the start of yet another school year. Never fear, the summer isn’t over yet. So don’t put away the suntan lotion and by all means don’t start the back-to-school shopping. Not yet. Not until after the Kosciusko County Fair. The county fair is the grand finale, one of the last celebration of another successful summer. A summer filled with the joyous memories of snoozing in late, walks on a starry night and cruising around with the top down. Personally, I am very excited about this year’s fair. Not only because I can eat as much as my heart desires (or better yet, as much as my stomach can handle), and I can scare myself to death on the double ferns wheel,

The story concerns the of a certain slave, Pseudolus, to achieve his freedom. His young master. Hero, promises to grant Pseudolos his freedom if he can obtain for Hero the beautiful girl, whom he has seen from a window. Deliciously unsavory characters, parents, neighbors, and even strangers are involved in the mounting confusion as this sidesplitting comedy unwinds. With a book by Burt Shevelove and La fry Gelbart (of MASH faipe) and a score by Stephen Sondheim, the comedy starts from the opening refrains of “Comedy Tonight” to the close of the play. The musical numbers in the show range from witty pattersongs to ballads, and the score merrily underlines the comedy on the stage. The great* Latin master, Plautus, was the inspiration of the authors; the situations that kept the Romans laughing once again prove merry and mirthful in this riotous musical. This bright musical will be alive on the stage of The Enchanted Hills Playhouse, through Sunday, Aug. 7. For an evening of good music, outstanding choreography and entertainment, make reservations now by calling the box office at 856-2328.
