The sport of golf has challenged and charmed people for generations.

The game is believed to have originated in Scotland as early as the 15th century, and was imported to the U.S. in 1888.  For many years, the sport was the exclusive province of wealthy, Anglo-Saxon males, but in recent years, the passion for playing golf has sparked what some would call a spiritual revival among the “baby boom” generation.

Further, the exclusionary attitudes which have surrounded the sport for years (preventing women, minorities, and the working class from enjoying the sport) have subsided.  Consequently, the challenges and intrinsic beauties of the sport have been exposed to a large number of willing and active participants, fueling the most phenomenal boom in the history of modern sports.

 There are approximately five million minority golfers in the U.S. today, up from approximately 1,000,000 just 15 years ago and millions more in countries around the world.  Many attribute this factor to the higher education level, greater affluence, and the greater number of people of color “baby boomers” reaching the age of 49-64.

 Men and women from the United States, Caribbean, South America, Africa and Asia have come to this sport by the millions as a result of accessibility, Tiger Woods and the unique international appeal of the game.

 Minority Golf Magazine online is devoted exclusively to the golf interest of persons of color in the United States and around the world…no other publication or web site has endeavored to fill this vital role.

 The writers and staff of Minority Golf Magazine have prepared an exciting and entertaining schedule of articles, stories and features for 2011. The all-new content will include our popular golf course and travel suggestions, along with articles on new product introductions including golf fashion and golf club evaluations. Innovative instructional articles on all aspects of the golf game for the beginner and accomplished professional will also be part of the editorial mix in the coming new year.

 We will have profiles, news and features on upcoming young minority professionals and major tour news for men and women golfers of color in the United States and around the world.

 Coming in January 2011 is a huge new feature that will excite the entire golf community that will be a first for online golf publications and a first for Minority Golf Magazine.  Stay online!

 We welcome your comments and suggestions and any items of interest to people of color you may be aware of.

  1. Though they are ultimate source of entertainment, the gaming accessories come with very heavy price
    tags that most of the people out there cannot afford to indulge excessively in considering their limited use.
    And in general, Internet provides a great range of entertainment.
    Discounts and the free shipping offers are the great money saving
    opportunities that you will miss out if you opt
    only for the popular brand speakers.

  2. To the added advantage, some of the audio system manufacturers are offering discounts
    up to 50% and more. And meanwhile, on behalf of William and Kate the royal legal team is
    handling criminal charges issued against Closer magazine
    and the ruthless photographer for breach of privacy and trespassing.
    But given that there are no printed photographs available
    to guests onsite, I would hope that the Boothomatic would be less in price than something, say,
    like portrait photography.

  3. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
    relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
    to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
