Virginia ("Gino") Van Wie (rhymes with "tee") took to golf when she was 11, because her doctor thought it might help the back she had hurt playing football with a team of little boys. D. E. Miner, golf professional at De Land, Fla. where the Van Wies spend their winters, helped build up her game, encouraged her to enter her first tournament at 16.
