For Danielsons of Osceola, exceptional golf is par for the course: The Danielson siblings Charlie (from left), Lindsay and Casey combined to win 10 WIAA titles in golf.

Gary D'Amato:

Osceola --Their home is miles from anything that could charitably be called a city. They grew up not on a golf course, but on a lake in northwestern Wisconsin, the kind of tranquil place where people vacation to get away from it all, where the call of a loon carries across the sparkling water on a quiet midsummer morning.

It's a beautiful place, to be sure. But it's kind of, um, in the middle of, uh...

"Nowhere?" Casey Danielson says, and the rest of the Danielson family laughs with her. "Yes, it is. It's in the middle of nowhere."

It's almost inconceivable that not one, not two, but three exceptional young golfers could come from a place so far removed from the best courses and top-flight competition, not to mention a year-round golf season or an airport.

But this is where Lindsay, Charlie and Casey Danielson grew up. This is home.
