Golf (Charlie Takes His Shot/Golf)

Fiction: Charlie Sifford loved golf, but in the 1930s only white people were allowed to play in the Professional Golf Association (PGA). In 1960, Sifford broke the color barrier in the PGA he did. He faced discrimination but kept playing, becoming the first black golfer to win a PGA tournament and eventually ranking among the greats in golf. Nonfiction: Golf began in Scotland more than 600 years ago. Today, most golf courses have 9 or 18 holes. Learn more in Golf, a For the Love of Sports book.
