The valuable lessons from Imani Alysse Stingley’s father have led her to find her passion in life. Imani tells the story of how her father taught her the game of golf. Born in the trend-setting East side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Imani enjoyed its various restaurants, parks, lively people, and myriad cultural activities and events. She fondly referred to it as the, “busy East Side.” In addition, she pointed out that she enjoyed the East Side because, “It also has the lakefront where I go to the beach.”
Imani currently resides in Brown Deer, a town 20 miles north of Milwaukee. There she continues the pursuit of her passion for golf, playing at the Brown Deer Golf Course. Before being truly capable of holding a golf club, Imani’s father introduced her to the game of golf. Imani said “my dad took up the game, and by the time I was old enough my dad put clubs in my hand, and we started to work on my swing at the driving range.” She further posited that, “We first worked on a grip, and then the fundamentals of a swing. We found out early that I had a natural swing, so we decided to take it seriously.” 
Evolving from the decision to take the game of golf seriously it was the passion for the game that she still cherishes to this day. Imani, now 18 years old, has been a member of the Wisconsin Junior PGA for the past eight years.
With the guidance of a swing coach, Scott Appleby, from the Missing Link Golf Course, Imani boasts a handicap score of 13:2. She has played in numerous PGA and WIAA events with her high school.
Imani stated that one of the reasons she loves playing the game of golf is because it teaches her how to handle herself while off the golf course: it teaches self-control. In turn, she plays every day during the high school golf season, but out-of-season, she said that, “I probably play about 2-3 times a week, between the driving range and being on the course.”
Aside from golf, she enjoys music, playing her tenor saxophone, the flute, and singing in the youth praise team at her church. She also enjoys playing basketball and volleyball. Today, Imani’s discipline, hard work, and love for the game have earned her a spot on The Tennessee State Women’s Golf team.

We especially enjoyed the Metropolitan Show Room where live entertainment featured spectacular dance shows, floor-to-ceiling ribbon acrobatics and humorous comedy. The Emporium offered lots of duty free souvenirs, perfumes, clothing, liquor, cigarettes and the such. The Travel Value Shop offered daily discounts on shirts, handbags, sandals and more great vacation gear. Once the sun was up, a long dip in the ship’s swimming pool made for a great cooling off. The jacuzzi stayed full for relaxing souls and the fitness center helped keep everyone ready for the next shore excursion trek. An on-board beauty salon was perfect for preparing for an evening of elegance and appointments were easily had, along with a variety of spa services and massages as terrific prices. Most of all, the ship was fully air-conditioned and used stabilizers to keep the rocking to a minimum. There was access to telephones, fax, satellite telephone and most importantly a physician was on board at all times.
Located just 2-hours outside of Havana, a deluxe shuttle van carried golfers, bags and clubs on a marvelous journey with exceptional landscape views. An onboard tour guide highlighted features along and way and familiarized all on local customs, Afro-Cuban religions, native flora, industry, and other great information. Varadero, the first 18 hole Golf Course in Cuba, was designed by architect Les Furber. Once at the course, the 18 hole, 72 par did not disappoint with its 6269 yards.
Tours took travelers to the colonial village of Cienfuegos and Trinidad, beach barbecue in the sunshine at Punta Frances on the Isle of Youth, live burlesque dinner show at the famous Tropicana outdoor night club, stunning countryside visit to Holguin, and a final stop in Santiago De Cuba, the second largest city in Cuba, home of legendary run, exotic fruits, sugar, rum, tobacco, and cigars, the most important urban area outside of Havana.
Most people today remember Cuba during 1956, when Fidel Castro Ruz launched a revolution from his camp in the Sierra Maestra Mountains. The U.S. ended military aid to Cuba in 1958. In 1961, a U.S.-backed group of Cuban exiles invaded Cuba. Planned during the Eisenhower administration, the invasion was given the go-ahead by President John Kennedy, although he refused to give U.S. air support. The landing at the Bay of Pigs (April 17, 1961) was a humiliation. The invaders did not receive popular Cuban support and were easily repulsed by the Cuban military.
The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 resulted from a Soviet attempt to install medium-range missiles in Cuba—capable of striking targets in the United States with nuclear warheads. President Kennedy promised a U.S. blockade of Cuba to stop the missile delivery. Six days later, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev ordered the missile sites dismantled and returned to the USSR in return for a U.S. pledge not to attack Cuba.
How embarrassing this situation can be in the home, office or out with friends. In fact, studies have found that up to 35% of adults are concerned about underarm sweat with 1.5% clinically suffering daily. Thompson Tee is on the ball with this concern and their shirt is Anti-microbial (fights odor) and Hypoallergenic. Their integrated underarm sweat proof design provides a sleek and consistent look and feel. (It’s not just a patch sewn over top or inside a regular undershirt. The sweat proof barrier is built into the undershirt). More proof of their commitment to build a better shirt.
So whether you suffer from Axillary Hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweat) or simply need some added confidence for that special day or meeting, the Thompson Tee sweat proof shirt combines the best features of an undershirt. It is a more-effective solution than sweat pads, and with their proprietary sweatproof technology. Styles for men and women available in slim or regular fit.
She returned to Miami-Dade and coached the gymnastics team for three years and eventually went back to school at the University of Florida to earn her bachelor’s degree in journalism and communications in 1981. But she didn’t discover golf until 1994, while working as a stockbroker in Atlanta. In a client meeting in Tucson, somebody put a club in her hands, gave her a few pointers and that was the beginning.
“I relate to these kids because I was one of them,” she said. “I give out lots of hugs. I plant seeds and try to put something in their minds to make them think about alternatives to bad choices. Sometimes, it breaks my heart and makes me sad, but I pray that I can make a difference in the lives of these young people.”
“These kids are junior criminals, but they have been given a second chance,” she said. “The fact that I got into golf in the first place was a life-altering thing for me. I know what it has meant in my life and I hope it can help them turn it down a few notches and be calm and patient. If you’re patient, you’re thinking and making choices.”
