June 5, 2018August 14, 2018Herschel Caldwell0

By Karen Crouse, NYT (Article reprinted by permission, Ed.) DUBLIN, Ohio — Tiger Woods’s best shot all week was aimed at himself.

That distinction belonged to Bryson DeChambeau, the 54-hole leader who closed with a one-under 71 at Muirfield Village Golf Club, then won a three-man playoff with an 11-foot… Read More »

Black History Month – Minority Golf Magazine By Herschel Caldwell The sport of golf has challenged and charmed people for many generations. Believed to have originated in Scotland as early as the 15th century, golf was imported to the U.S. in 1888 and has over the past 200 or so years remained one of the country’s favorite pastimes. Historically golf was the exclusive province of wealthy, Anglo-Saxon males, and it remained that way until the -1960’s. Over the years African Americans who loved the sport were relegated to caddying, equipment cleaning, cooking and waiting tables. Their desires to play had… Read More »

January 24, 2018Herschel Caldwell0

Expectations! A wise teacher of golf once told me about what to expect of my game on the first tee. “Be glad if you can get the ball to leave here and go “out there” someplace.” When you set your sights on something humble, anything above that is is a win.
