Jim Thorpe
The only African American “in the sterling field of Senior PGA Tour players…” at this year’s U.S. Senior Open.
Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 30, 2008 -2008 represents a year of “first” in many areas of American life. For the first time in American history has a person of color as the presumptive Democratic Candidate for president of the United States.. Tiger Woods has already won the country’s greatest golf championship, the U.S. Open, and there is a very real possibility that another person of color could win the U.S. Senior Open in this “Year of Firsts.”We thought it appropriate to reprint a portion of writer/author J.C. Calloway’s “The Invisible Golfers,”where in 1997 (or whatever year) he describes the excellence and challenges of Jim Thorpe’s career on the PGA and Senior PGA Golf Tour.
