Hi Bonni,
You already have a gift to lean on, the ability to remember interesting facts about each student. Tie the interesting fact that you can remember to that student's name. Make the connection between golf and Susan several times and then when you walk up to Susan again you will be thinking golf and Susan as being one. This is how I remember my students' names plus they like it when I can chat with them about their own interests, kids, dogs, etc.
