EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, depicts a group of African-American children engaged in a lively game of golf on the verdant fairways of an American golf course. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history of African American participation in golf, a sport that has long been associated with the privileged classes and exclusive clubs. At the time this photograph was taken, African Americans faced significant barriers to accessing golf courses and other recreational facilities due to racial discrimination. However, this intrepid group of youngsters seems undeterred by such obstacles, their focus solely on the joy of the game. Their bright, determined expressions and playful banter reflect the resilience and tenacity of a community that refused to be denied the simple pleasure of playing golf. The photograph also offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when golf was still a relatively new sport in America and courses were often situated in rural or semi-rural settings. The children's simple golfing attire, consisting of knickers and collared shirts, further underscores the nostalgic charm of the image. Despite the challenges they faced, African Americans continued to pursue their love of golf throughout the 20th century, eventually breaking down racial barriers and making significant strides in the sport. Today, there are numerous African American golfers at all levels of competition, from local tournaments to the PGA Tour. This photograph serves as an important reminder of the perseverance and determination of a community that refused to let discrimination stand in the way of their passion for golf.
