Golfing While Black
from 50 Things That Changed Golf · host Daniel Rapaport, Joel Beall
Five women joined a golf club outside of York, Pennsylvania, only to have the police summoned to the course by the owner midway through their first round. Their crime, they say, was “golfing while black.” The first episode of Local Knowledge, a new podcast by Golf Digest, tells the story of the Grandview Five, a group of African-American women whose inaugural round at their new club became a reminder of an area—and a game’s—uneven history with race. Through interviews, audio clips, court documents, and news reports, host Daniel Rapaport examines a story that began on a fairway, carried on for months after, and provides new insights into the larger conversation about race in the U.S. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
