Golf is Carol Shell's life

I By JENNIFER WOODWARD Staff Writer “My whole life is surrounded by golf,” explains Syracuse resident Carol Sholl. Sholl is a professional -golf teacher and has played golf her entire life. Golf is her life. She lives across from the fourteenth hole of Maxwelton Golf Course and has even been known to analyze the swings of Maxwelton golfers as she watches out her window. On her days off from teaching golf, she’ll go out and play for her own enjoyment. She even takes golfing trips while on vacation. Sholl began playing golf at the mere age of 12 years. Her mother . managed a country club in Cincinnati thus peaking her interest in the game at a young age. She originally began as a left-handed golfer, however through golf lessons she switched to the right. “I changed so early, I don’t even remember how I did it.” She explains the switch is very common among professional golfers, “Golf courses aren’t laid out for lefthanders.” She explains that when she was a young girl there were few girls who were interested in golf, “I always had to play with older, retired men or with caddies. I never knew another young girl.” As a young girl she played many city tournaments. She noted that many times she received a lot of attention because she was always the youngest girl playing. Not only is Sholl a golf fanatic but, she also loves tennis, another favorite sport. She has been a tennis teacher at the Fort Wayne Racquet Club, a high school tennis coach, head tennis pro at Goshen Tennis and Racquetball Club and the Tippecanoe Country Club, and has even had her own , business teaching tennis at Fort Wayne’s Marriott Inn. During her years at the Tippecanoe Country Club, Sholl began having back problems. She decided to switch to golf, “All my life I wanted to be a golf pro.” Sholl has taught golf at the United States Golf Academy in Plymouth, the North Webster Driving Range, the Florida Golf School, YWCA in Goshen, Timber Ridge Golf Course, and owned her own golf academy at South Shore Golf Course. Presently Sholl is teaching golf at South Shore Golf Course in the mornings from 9 a m. to 12 noon, and at Timber Ridge Golf Course from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sholl

WHAT A SWINGER! — Carol Sholl, Syracuse, practices her swing. An avid golfer, Sholl has been playing since she was 12 years old and has won 32 club championships between the years 1950 and 1982.

mainly instructs adults, explaining she doesn’t have the patience for children, “I enjoy the adults because they really want to learn. Many times the children don’t want to, they’re only there because the parents want them to learn to play golf.” Between the years 1950 and 1982, Sholl has won 32 club championships, however her tournament days are over. Since she is a professional teacher, Sholl has lost her amateur status. She can oply regain it if she quits teaching for two years. “I miss not playing in the tournaments, but I really enjoy teaching rather than playing.” “You’re constantly learning with golf,” notes Sholl. She explains that every day she learns something new from her students, and that she is always reading books or watching films to improve her golf game. She says that many times her students will not really understand the game of golf until their second year of playing, “Golf is a hard sport to retain everything.” Jimmy Ballard, golf pro at Doral Country Club in Miami, Fla.,-is an excellent role model for Sholl. Ballard has taught golf to 160 touring pros. Sholl explains

that 80 percent of her teaching is much the same as Ballard’s, and that even her own golf game improved after taking his course. After 11 years of teaching golf, Sholl thinks it’s time for a vacation. “I have a lot of patience, but I’m starting to lose it. There’s no more excitement in teaching.” Sholl is trying to end all of her classes by the end of July so that she may devote her time to the things in life that are most important to Sholl - her husband, family, and home. “I enjoy my home, cooking, gardening, playing bridge, and good friends.” Sholl may eventually go back to teaching golf but for now she would like to spend more time playing golf for her own personal enjoyment. And that she will, for now she’s planning on vacationing with her father and brother playing golf and visiting a golf resort in Kalamazoo, Mich. As the saying goes, and as Sholl exemplifies, “Golf is a lifetime sport.” •ar ' S'* Money jar To save money for a family dinner or movie, I cut an opening in the lid of a jar for money to be slipped through and placed it in the living room. Whenever anyone has pennies or nickels, they put them in the jar. This way, by the end of the year, we usually have enough to buy the family diner or go to a movie. We look forward to this special day. Jeannette P., Santa Fe, N.M.

Bingo registration

Certain organizations conducting bingo games must register with the Indiana secretary of state under legislation enacted by the General Assembly this year. On July 1, Joseph H. Hogsett, Indiana secretary of state, will begin to accept applications for bingo registration. Organizations that meet the statutory requirement may conduct bingo games prior to July 1 without registering with the Indiana secretary of state. The bingo registration statute applies to nonprofit organizations which are “primarily religious, charitable, fraternal, educational, civic, political, or patriotic in nature.” The organization must be exempt from either

Tippy Flotilla slated for July 1

After a one-year hiatus, the Tippecanoe Flotilla is scheduled to take to the waters again on July 1. Various types of decorated boats will gather at the docking area near the dance hall at 1 p.m., and proceed on a trek around the shoreline of Tippecanoe Lake. Organizers haven’t set a concrete deadline registration for the event, but 11:30 a m. would be a good time for people to show up. “It’s kind of a ‘come-as-you-are,’ said Vic Seawright of the Tippecanoe Property Owners Association. “We’ll see what kind of response we get.” With the event being scheduled so close to the Fourth of July, the flotilla has a patriotic flavor to it. Seawright said that one boat had

Food-labeling Three national consumer groups aren't very impressed with the FDA’s announced intent to seek public response this year to help formulate sweeping changes in food-labeling laws. Their feelings are that the FDA is too late and too slow, and Congress should pass laws to make the changes faster than FDA’s announced date: sometime in 1991. FDA said consumers are confused and frustrated by foodlabeling. “The grocery store has become a Tower of Babel; consumers need to be linguists, scientists and mind-readers,” said Dr. Louis Sullivan, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Everybody is traveling

J By JENNIFER WOODWARD Staff Writer Summertime is a very popular time for vacations. School children are out for the summer and many families are ready to take a break from work and enjoy the beautiful weather that summer days provide. Doug Risser of Menno Travel Service in Goshen has seen a steady increase in vacation travelers this summer. He believes that people have a stronger need for vacations than ever before, “It’s become increasingly important to take a vacation since there is much stress at work today.” People are tending to take more vacations, but shorter vacations for this reason. It is very common to find a family take a weekend vacation rather than a week long vacation. There are a great number of vacation sites for the weekend travelers within a driving distance. The state parks, larger cities, and area summer festivals can attract a large number of people just wanting to get away for a day or two. Os the serious travelers, Risser

delegates from the local chapter. Activities ranged from convention business sessions to presenting state awards in judging, leadership, and proficiencies. The highlight of the convention was the presentation of the Hoosier FFA degrees and the announcing of the State Star Farmer and State Star Agribusinessman. Brian Wuthrich, a recent Wawasee graduate, was second in the State Swine Production Proficiency. The proficiencies are designed to recognize a member’s accomplishments in one of 28 different areas. It includes keeping records on their supervised agricultural experience program, involvement in FFA activities, leadership development, and school and community activities.

notes that many are visiting Europe this summer. Unlike years past, the American dollar is much stronger in Europe and there is less fear among American tourists concerning security. Hijacking and various other foreign threats are minimal this year. Another big attraction this summer is the Oberammergau Festival in Germany. The residents of Oberammergau have presented a traditional passion play once every decade for the past 450 years. Risser explains that many travel agencies have placed the festival within the European travel packages. Risser notes, “Everybody is traveling.” Families are vacationing locally or visiting the popular Disney World. There are a lot of honeymoons at this time of year. Popular attractions for honeymooners include cruises, Hawaii, and hotels in Jamaica that only cater to couples (no children allowed). Weekend packages will include trips to resorts such as Lake Geneva, or even short trips to Chicago, Indianapolis, and Detroit. Many of the retired people are traveling with escorted tours which can range from one day all the way up to two weeks. The tours this summer have seen a huge increase this year alone, ‘We’re 50 percent ahead of last year,” explains Risser. Many of the escorted tours will travel throughout the Midwest, the Atlantic sea coast, the national parks in the West, and there’s even a tour visiting Australia. So if you’ve been planning on taking a trip this summer start planning now. Summer is a popular time for vacations and many places are booked this time of year. However if you just feel you need to get away for the weekend, pack your bags, jump in the car, and find yourself a friendly quiet retreat. There’s something for everyone when it comes to vacation time. Room deodorizers Don’t throw away those cute room deodorizers shaped like mushrooms when they are no longer effective. Put a few drops of a liquid deodorizer or your favorite perfume on top and they will still smell nice. This way, they can be used over and over. Betty M., West Palm Beach, Fla.
