Golf is a multibillion-dollar sport played in many places around the world. Its modern origins date back to 15th century Scotland, but the game didn’t really gain traction in the United States until the turn of the 19th century. 

Eventually, modern legends like Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods took the game to new heights. Still, after all these years, it’s a sport that lacks diversity. 

According to the Professional Golfers Association (PGA), African Americans make up just 7% of the general golfing population and a mere 1-3% of touring professionals. In Milwaukee, there’s a group dedicated to introducing the game to many more. 

WeBlackWeGolf (WBWF) is a social nonprofit building community from the tee box. They’re open to all but focused on getting more people of color active in the sport. 

In this episode, host Kim Shine takes to the the fairways and greens at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Glendale for the group’s opening day. In a golf cart alongside WBWG board member and mentor Calvin Lee, Kim talks with different members and newer golfers about why they love the sport and the group.
