Vonau had a little experience golfing as a teenager with her father, but she never got into it. Last summer, at 41, she decided to jump back in. She wanted to take up something outdoorsy, and with her father still being an avid golfer, she wanted to be able to do that with him.

One of the only ways to get better at golf is to go out and play a course, but for many new golfers, doing so can be intimidating at rst. According to Vonau, DeSantis has a air for making the learning process more comfortable.

“She really taught you the basics, but then also taught you to not be intimidated,” Vonau said. “It was just like building that con dence of (saying) if you hit well, you don’t need to hit far. (She) really makes you feel like you don’t have to be the best player, you don’t have to be the farthest hitter to go and play and have fun.”

A year after taking lessons from DeSantis, Vonau still plays with her dad every week.

Karen said her husband mentored her during her career in golf, as they traveled across the country during winters to play as she got better at the game. Her fondest memories were when she and Carl played golf in Hawaii on two occasions to celebrate anniversaries. is year will be their 40th anniversary.

DeSantis said that her proudest accomplishments were earning her LPGA Pro certi cation and becoming the rst assistant golf pro at Springhill when she moved back there from Meadow Hills in 1987.

“To have the opportunity that they gave me was just such a blessing,” DeSantis said. “I’ve never regretted it, I never regretted getting into the LPGA. I’ve been around the city so long that I don’t go somewhere where I don’t meet someone, and they tell me a story.” is Sentinel story via e Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media is a member. of installation, custom installation charges, equipment upgrades/add-ons, and certain other add’l fees & chrgs.

e 20th anniversary Evergreen Jazz Festival July 28-30 hosted around 2,000 people, according to Jim Reiners, the festival’s marketing director.
