The Daily's John Walters takes a look at the winners of the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship and finds a lot of fine golfers resembling non-minorities.
How does Bethune-Cookman, a school that is 94.3 percent African-American and 1.5 percent white, draw such talented female golfers from Austria, Denmark and Great Britain? Coach Loritz “Scooter” Clark declined comment for this story, but the Daytona Beach-based school’s home course is the LPGA International Legends Course, which is located within driving distance, as it were, from the LPGA headquarters.
Renee Powell was the second black female to play on the LPGA Tour. Powell, 66, recalled twisting the arm of a sponsor in order to send golf equipment to three HBCUs. When she arrived at a tournament in which they were playing, Powell had a startling discovery.
“All of your golfers are white,” Powell told the coach.
“My school president wants to win,” the coach replied.
“If I had known that I would have given the equipment to another college where minority kids were struggling,” Powell said.
