Callista learned to golf when she was nine years old in Wisconsin.  She and her girl friend would play three or four holes a day during their summer vacation.  Callista learned to love the experience of a beautiful course, a gorgeous day, and intermittent moments of hope and frustration.

Newt took up golf after he left the Speakership in 1999. Today, he loves the challenge of hitting a long drive and sinking a short putt.  He’s confident that with practice, he will someday learn the game.
