I wish there was a reference to the UGA event at Seneca GC in Cleveland, OH - the Sixth City Cleveland Holiday Open. I got the chance to caddy for Nate Starks and my friend Charlie Sifford. So many great characters there too on the amateur side - “Brycream” Jenkins, “Tater Pie” Wilson to mention a few. What a bunch of hustlers. Jim & Chuck Thorpe, Pete Brown, Charley Owens, all played in that event over the years. Another testament to the poor conditioned golf course they had to endure.

Wow. I think this documentary shows these men and women as being people of superb character, determination, grit and real tenacity. They could see past the appalling racism and strive for what should be fair in life, we’re not black or white, we’re the human race. I learned a lot from this and big respect to those men and women

Huge respect for these men and woman who demonstrated once again that justice takes time to go through and, like always for universal causes, take the strength of special individuals to bring them softly but with determination to the top of human values. Respect.

The PGA did not care about black in the past, and it does not care about black people now. I have watched PGA golf for many years and I have NEVER heard them mention the history of the UGA--- the first integrated golf tour in American history. ....And I don't blame the older golfers for still being angry because the awful treatment they experienced by whites.

Isn’t it amazing black run tournaments never discriminated against anyone but white run ones always did ?..I read uneven lies the book about 15 years ago the book is a must read for anyone who loves this crazy game to understand black golfers are as relevant in golf as ole Tom Morris’s , Ben Hogan or Jack they just never had the opportunity or Jack’s majors and Sneads win record might have been a little less....🤔

I'm going to put this out here right now. There is ABSOLUTELY no place in golf for human excrement being placed in a flag cup. That is one of the most disgusting and vile things I've ever heard of. The fact that it was placed there to protest against the American players of African heritage only goes to show how narrow minded and idiotic people can be. The only colors that should matter on a golf course are the ones on the scorecard.

I never realized that this ever happened that the Africans had their own golf courses I'd often wondered why there weren't so many coloured golfers but to think what the white man did to these people makes me feel ashamed to be White and the white man calls himself civilised it was a real eye opener and great to watch I'll watch this again sometime
