“william powell”

(1916 – 2009)

due to racial segregation, powell was banned from all-white public golf courses and was rejected for a bank loan to try to build his own. with financing from two black doctors and a loan from his brother, powell bought a 78-acre dairy farm in east canton, ohio, and with his wife, marcella, did most of the landscaping by hand. two years later, in 1948, he opened the integrated clearview golf club. in 1978, he expanded the course to 18 holes and earned a national-historic-site designation in 2001.

(there’s probably still a lot of hotshot white golfers who mock this “negro course”)

(“golf” is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible)

Golf, unlike most ball games, does not require a standardized playing area. The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 18 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup. There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play.

(stroke play is the most commonly seen format at all levels)

59 is the *magic number*

Whatever happened to David Duval?

But it’s all about WHEN you record your best golf round

The word Golf in its English form, was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a Scottish statute of forbidden games as gouf,[2] possibly derived from the Scots word goulf (variously spelled) meaning “to strike or cuff”. This word may, in turn, be derived from the Dutch word kolf, meaning “bat”, or “club”, and the Dutch sport of the same name. The idea that “golf” is an acronym from “gentlemen only, ladies forbidden” is false—this is a folk etymology.

However, these earlier games are more accurately viewed as ancestors of golf, and the modern game as we understand it today originated and developed in Scotland: The earliest permanent golf course originated there, as did the very first written rules, the establishment of the 18-hole course, and the first golf club memberships. The first formalized tournament structures also emerged there and competitions were arranged between different Scottish cities. Over time, the modern game spread to England and the rest of the world. The oldest playing golf course in the world is The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course.[8] Evidence has shown that golf was played here in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567.

(in 1646 King Charles I of England, whilst held captive by the Scots in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was reported to entertain himself by playing golf in ‘Shieldfield’)

mezaythayllosss

the first time i played a real golf course was at age 11.  warrenbrook golf course in warren NJ.  i prayed to jesus to help me succeed as i practiced with my 9-iron in the front yard.  the course was right down the street from my childhood home.

i was terrible.  i couldn’t even break 120.  the lauermans and kenwells made me nervous and self-conscious as i teed off.  maybe that’s the point of the game.  to overcome self-consciousness.  a “test of manhood”.

“MAJORS”

*MASTERS*

(second sunday of april)

*US OPEN*

(third sunday of june)

(open to any professional)

(open to any amateur with an up-to-date USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 1.4)

players (male or female) may obtain a place by being fully exempt or by competing successfully in qualifying.  the field is 156 players

the first U.S. Open was played on October 4, 1895, on a nine-hole course at the Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island

It was a 36-hole competition and was played in a single day. Ten professionals and one amateur entered.

The winner was a 21-year-old Englishman named Horace Rawlins, who had arrived in the U.S. in January that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 cash out of a prize fund of $335, plus a $50 gold medal; his club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA.

in the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911, when John J. McDermott became the first native-born American winner.

the youngest winner of the U.S. Open is John McDermott who was 19 years 315 days old when he won in 1911

american golfers soon began to win regularly and the tournament evolved to become one of the four majors

Jack Nicklaus, Lee Janzen, Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk hold the record for the lowest score over 72 holes, which is 272
