To most, Arnold Palmer is best known as the legendary golfer who dominated the golf course for many years. To others, he is a successful business executive, sportsman, aviator and spokesman. To his family, he is a dedicated and devoted man with a loving heart. Above all, it is his personality and down-to-earth demeanor that has made him one of the most popular and accessible notables in history.

Arnold Palmer s golfing success came about in a way that few others will ever experience themselves. During the 1960s, he was named as Athlete of the Decade by the Associated Press. After racking up 92 championships in professional competition, 62 of which were won on

the U.S. PGA Tour, Arnold Palmer quickly became a household name.

Before you begin teaching golf to your kids, please keep a few things in mind. First, golf is a game for a lifetime and whether a kid takes advantage of that opportunity is up to you. Try to keep it fun and help them develop a love for the game. Second, golf is a difficult, skills oriented sport. My philosophy is to help the kids have fun, develop a passion for the game, teach the fundamentals a couple at a time, offer praise when they get it right and encouragement when they don’t.

Developing the Passion A key that I’ve found with my own kids is to keep it short at first and leave while they’re still having fun. I’ve seen

way to many parents dragging out a trip to the driving range or golf course way too long. I can just see the boredom and “this is worse than shopping” attitude developing. You need to pay attention to see whether they are interested and having fun or if they’re getting ready to move on and go as soon as you see it is time. This may mean trips that are no more than 15 or 20 minutes, hitting just a few balls and getting a drink and snack in the club house.

You ve probably thought about it at one time or another: the second home in the mountains, on the lake or the beach. Wherever you re located, you think about the opposite terrain as a potential getaway or retreat. Now that the leading edge of the baby boomers, are closer to retirement, that dream is becoming a reality. With massive equity in current homes or large pension buy-outs, they wonder if they should get that other house. After all, they seem to vacation there anyway each summer. So why not simply buy a residence complete with all the amenities and leave an entire set of clothes as well. Then, it s simply a matter of jumping into the car or

plane and you re enjoying that cool ocean breeze or pine scent in the high country.

America s thirst for cars of significance continues unabated. Long tired of copycat, cookie cutter, uninspiring models, consumers are demanding and receiving cars that are, quite frankly, retro. Yes, America s automakers are reaching back in time to build a bunch of models based on popular models from yesteryear. Let s take a look at the Big 3 automakers and their current crop of retro cars as well as future models soon to be released.

Defined, retro cars are vehicles that take their styling cues from cars built a generation or two ago. No, these vehicles aren t carbon copies of earlier models, rather each retro car borrows much of their look from

earlier models.

To own your own home is the American Dream. No landlords no rent payments no worthless rent receipts.

Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? You can splash your own paint colors throughout the house and pound as many nail holes in the walls as you want.

It’s your home nobody can tell you what to do with your home.

Well, not quite. Ever heard of CCRs (Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions) you agreed to abide by the “laws” of the community by signing on the dotted line.

Unfortunately, the American Dream implies responsibility…to oneself and to one’s neighbors. Before buying a house, take a big breath and think: Are you willing to take care of your house? Are you willing to cut and water the grass? …pull

weeds? …trim the hedge? …change the AC filter?
