When raw talent and extraordinary skill sets alone are not enough to guarantee a Ryder Cup victory anymore. By Herschel Caldwell Great players of the past were highly skilled at matching wits with a golf course, as opposed to trying to beat the brains out of a fellow player. Oh, there was elation in winning a match, but the jubilation mostly came from having conquered the course, rather than crushing another individual. In his book “Golf’s Golden Age” (in America), Rand Jerris profiles the lives of golfers in the early history of our country. Well-known, along with lesser names like… Read More »

Stepping back in history, I remember having stars in my eyes when my man first asked me to accompany him to the golf course. To think: big ‘ol HE wanted little ‘ol ME to walk around the course and into the winner’s circle…with him! I envisioned us charting sea-green pastures together. In my mind’s ear, I could hear his golfing buddies congratulate his every stroke, while admitting their own faults and failures as they missed green after green. I could just… Read More »

November 2, 2018November 2, 2018Herschel Caldwell2

The editors of Minority Golf Magazine are currently preparing a series of articles attempting to bring an understandable answer to the question why Charlie Sifford’s legacy and the rise of Tiger Woods’ dominance of American golf has not resulted in more African American males on the PGA Tour. With the presence and great play from many of today’s young professionals, we thought it noteworthy to revisit an old interview with Tiger Woods dating back over ten years. At the time names like Dustin Johnson, Ricky Fowler, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Rory McElroy, Jordan Spieth, and Bubba Watson were still playing… Read More »
