ABOUT THE BLACK GOLF DIRECTORY
The Black Golf Directory was created to elevate and promote African Americans in the golf industry. Prior to its existence, when you searched for Black golfers or African American professionals, you could only find household names (of which some were deceased). The Black Golf Directory website provides names and faces of current tour players, certified golf instructors, golf coaches, high school players, HBCU’s with golf teams, junior/amateur organizations, and businesses.
The Black Golf Directory is a one-stop shop for all things in golf.
In addition, if you want to know how to give Black youth the best advantages in golf, the Black Golf Directory provides national junior events and scholarships that should be considered.
