Forbidden Fairways--#52 finished

An interesting book with a lot of info about the struggle of black golfers in the US. It is not a long book, right at 189 pages but there is a lot of info about the main golfers and other leaders. I knew it was bad before the 1960s but when just looking at one aspect of life & how those that had the ability to be professional golfers were kept out of the PGA and the tournaments is really bad. It is only 50 years later and so much as changed as far as the opportunities but still the number of minority golfers is really down--other than Tiger I can't think another African American on the tour. Good read and it really made me think about that struggle and how even now with better circumstances it seems other sports have caught the eye of the black athlete.

I will be posting it on PBS in just a few minutes. It wasn't on anyone's WL but there are also no other copies in the system, it will be the only one. No idea how long it will be waiting around, could be weeks or months but pretty sure someone will order it.
