By ABC NEWS via Good Morning America. This is one beast on the golf course that doesn’t need to scream “fore!” for others to make way.
Two people on the links at the Myakka Pines Golf Course in Englewood, Florida, snapped a photo of a huge alligator roaming the course and posted the photos to the club’s Facebook page.
“We have a lot of alligators around here because there are no houses for miles and it’s just open swamp land,” The club’s general manager Mickie Zada told ESPN, estimating the size of the gator at 12 to 13 feet. “Our members know that when they see a good one, to take pictures and they did.”
“If it’s really cold you might not see one,” Zada told ESPN. “But if there’s any sunshine at all, it would be impossible for you play 18 and not see a gator.”
A successful weekend of fundraising activities for the EPAT -Ball/P.M. & The Junior Giants 11th annual golf classic began with a 6:00 p.m. hospitality on Friday, October 30 at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas where over 75 guests gathered to enjoy cocktails, music, hors d’oeuvres and interesting conversation.
Coach Gene Tate, leader of the youth organization, had nicely prepared all of the details for hosting a successful 11th Annual Golf Classic. Players teed-off as planned, on Saturday, October 31, with an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start at the beautiful Las Vegas National Golf Club followed by an evening awards reception with dinner and dancing at the Westgate Resort. Celebrities and guests mixed-and-mingled for hours on end for the highlight celebration.
“I wish to thank all of those who joined us,” said Coach Gene Tate. “Without your support, we would not be able to continue to serve the youth of our community with our programs. Special thanks to all of our sponsors and those who donated items for our raffle and gift bags.” Supporters included
ABOUT:
The EPAT -Ball/P.M. & The Junior Giants programs are affiliates of the San Francisco Junior Giants and are dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of baseball in a free, noncompetitive and character-based environment.
Junior Giants is the flagship program of the San Francisco Giants Community Fund, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization. The program was creed to provide underserved children living in inner cities and rural communities across California, Nevada and Oregon the opportunity to run the bases, rather than the streets, each summer.
Through the support of the community the organization continues to provide at-risk children with programs that empower them for life. The Junior Giants program is designed to help children who want to be successful but need a little guidance.
“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”― Martin Luther King Jr.
Serving and giving to others is one of the most powerful things a human can do. To serve and give freely from the heart is a power from God. In order to save this world, it is incumbent that we instil in our young people the gift of serving and giving of ourselves freely to help others. Before my father became ill, he and my mother had me doing some type of work–either around the house or with my father on his job.
I remember as a youth, at the age of 17, volunteering for the Handy Homes housing authority (housing projects) in Florence, AL. As a volunteer during the summertime, I handed out sandwiches and juices to the kids on the playground. It was also during this time that I was developing into becoming a star athlete in football and track & field. In addition to all of this, I worked several jobs with Mr. Grant and Mr. Long. These men also helped me develop my work ethic. They would have me working with them around their house or with them on their part-time jobs, especially Mr. Grant. With him I learned how to operate a buffer machine and commercial size lawn mowers. My father was bedridden throughout my high school years, so I helped my mother take care of him–from helping her bathe him and turning his body daily to avoid bedsores.
As I write this, it is amazing how I vividly remember that particular summer. Along with the refreshment duties, I helped oversee their play while they ran around the playground, slid up-and-down the sliding board, and enjoyed themselves on the swings. There was no organized program or any educational components, kids just running around laughing and having a good time. Back in those days, it seemed as though we had more family and more educational and societal values.
I shared this brief background on my life as an example of how sometimes it takes a community/village to raise a child. As far as the black community is concerned, we need the black man, old and young, to step up and fill-in the gaps in the lives of many of our youth–like Mr. Grant and Mr. Long did for me. Mind you, this is not a black thing, all kids, rich and poor, black, white and brown, need good strong upbringing. But the statistics reflects that in America, nearly 70% of our black kids are raised in single parent households…our black women need help!
But today, due to the lack of family, educational and societal values, our youth and families are less prepared to handle the negative challenges of life. Reality TV, sex, violence and vulgarity is the norm rather than the exception. With the new and advanced technologies and social media (selfies, Facebook etc.), it appears we are more concerned with “Me versus We”!
If we embrace how President Obama framed and used “We” in his recent Selma speech, it can inspire a consciousness of service to others. President Obama said, “Because Selma shows us that America is not the project of any one person. Because the single-most powerful word in our democracy is the word “We.” “We The People.” “We Shall Overcome.” “Yes We Can.” That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given, to continually try to improve this great nation of ours”. I believe in order for President Obama’s speech to be realized, we must prepare our youth so they will be prepared to take the mantle to care for others and be willing to serve and give freely from the heart.
Now when I return to Florence in the same neighborhood that I was raised in, can you believe the kids have fewer things to do now, than those kids of years past! This is the primary reason why I travel back to Florence during the summer months, so I can introduce the kids to the game of golf and give them something to experience that I didn’t have the opportunity to.
This is why it is imperative that our young people gain knowledge of and exercise the spirit of giving back and serving others. So when they get older and if the world hasn’t beaten them down too roughly, they will have the spirit of service and giving.
Having work ethics is a value that is best implanted in one’s formative years. Developing work ethics can be as simple as cutting the grass, doing the dishes, cleaning up you room, making up the bed, pulling weeds from around the house/garden; reading a book; writing a paper and other things that we take for granted. Completing a task and doing the best you can do develop work ethics. When I was a training manager for Wendy’s back in the early 80’s. I used to tell my high school employees that if they were given a task, to be the best person in the world doing that task. If they had to clean the toilet, be the best toilet cleaner in the world. That attitude and work ethic will continue and carryon for their entire lives.
Creating a program that helps families to develop and foster work ethics in young people is just as important as getting good grades. In many cases, good grades are attained by cheating and other means. But a kid with good work ethics will not cheat! My non-scientific hypothesis find that, at least 90% of the time, a good honest kids will mature into a good honest adult!
TVYGD is designed to help our youth develop their academic and golf skills. But if we can help our youth embrace good strong work ethics in their formative years, when it comes to mastery in golf, we have a better chance of developing them into a good golf player and a great person.
I would love to hear from you on how your work ethics were instilled in you!
Much love to Richard Crimes, for assisting me with my blogs.

The Training With Pay organization held its 2nd annual Celebrity Golf Classic Tournament Fundraiser on February 13, 2015 at the historical 18 hole Chester Washington Golf Course located in South Los Angeles, California.
(photo L-R: Frank Robinson and Don Buford)
It was a typical perfect, sunny California, February day, with “let’s go play golf” written all over it. Thanks to golfer Donna Castron, member of “Different Strokes”, a newly formed golf club organization based in Los Angeles, for referring me to the Training With Pay Org., from that referral, I was requested to participate, as a blogger, in their Celebrity Golf Classic.
Upon my arrival at Chester Washington, to do my job as a blogger, I was greeted warmly by Mr. Miles Grayson, Recording Artist, Musician, Arranger, Composer, and Founder of Grayson Productions. 
Grayson in turn introduced me to Alesia Ellis, President of Training with Pay and the organizer of this Celebrity Golf Classic. Alesia shared with me the purpose and mission of Training With Pay and the logistics of the days’ Classic Tournament.
Partnering with Miles Grayson in a golf cart, watching him peruse the golf course–while monitoring the needs of the golfers–was not only fun and exciting, it also afforded me the opportunity to get to know him better, and to take photos of a few celebrity golfers. I must say that Miles Grayson is a hoot !!–as well as very entertaining, and knowledgeable of the world of golf.
Now, I was told from the beginning of the day, that all of the registered golfers, including the celebrities were men except for one. A 16-year old young lady. To my surprise, and “trust me” when I tell you that I had absolutely no clue that, this 16-year old young lady would be none other than Kasey Torres. However there she was, out on the green swinging that golf club with conviction, and empowerment, while being fussed over and admired for her golfing abilities, by former Major League Baseball Legends. Now you ask me, who is Kasey Torres, and who are those Major League Baseball Legends?
Kasey Torres is an amazing 16-year old golfer, with great talent, skills and potential, a lovely, soft spoken prize product of South Los Angeles’ Maggie Hathaway’s First Tee program.
I had the honor of introducing her in my November 2014 golf blog, and if you didn’t read it, make sure that you take the time to do just that. In December 2014, Kasey was also selected to be published by the African American Golfers Digest in its popular “Golfer of the Week” series. You might want to take a look at that as well.
(photo: Barbara Taylor and Kasey Torres)
Now, I presume you want to know who were the Baseball legends, and other celebrities in their own right ?
Well let me start with, to mention a few: Frank Robinson, former Outfielder, played with the Orioles, Angels, Dodgers, and Indians. In 1975, became the first Major League African American manager and joined the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. (Photo above L-R): Miles Grayson with Kasey Torres
Don Buford, Infielder/Outfielder-switch hitter, played for the Chicago White Sox, and the Baltimore Orioles ,1968-1972. Darrell Jackson, former Pitcher with the Minnesota Twins, 1978 –1982, Johnny Lee “Blue Moon” Odom, Pitcher, former Major League Baseball won three consecutive World Series Championships with the Oakland Athletics in 1972, 1973, and 1974.
I had an opportunity to talk with Blue Moon Odom, about his love for golf and he stated that he has been playing golf for 40 years, loves the game, and, playing in tournaments–especially with his former baseball teammates, because playing with teammates gives him the opportunity to engage in the “I can hit farther than you” bragging rights.
This tournament format was setup with one celebrity paired with four players to create a team. I don’t know if it was by design, or the luck of he draw, that our girl Kasey Torres was paired with Frank Robinson, John Buford, Daryl Iwasakai, and Ron Chenier.
The Tournament ended with an awards luncheon, that included a live band. Historically the awards luncheon ceremonies draw more non-golfers than golfers, which was the case at this celebrity classic, however the luncheon and entertainment was enjoyed by all. Speaking for myself, I had a wonderful time. However, I do regret not taking the opportunity to chat with more celebrities; for some reason I got stuck on conversing and taking pictures, on only one side of the room. I’m still learning !!!
The 1st place winners of the tournament were Johnny “Blue Moon” Odom, Hubie Brooks, Ray Burn, and Rudy Law.
(photo: 1st place winners displaying their bragging rights, Blue Moon Odom (center)
Second place winners were Darrell Jackson, Charles Carr, Joseph Smith, Luis Batson. Now I would be remissed in not reporting what was, and what should have been, so I will share with you that the second place winners “woulda/shoulda” have been Frank Robinson, Don Buford, Daryl Iwasaki, and Ron Chenier, and Kasey Torres. However, since their score card was not turned in to the score keeper– which was a classic case of the right hand, not knowing what the left hand is doing–they were disqualified.
Oh well!! So Kasey Torres was not rewarded with a trophy for her day of golfing achievements, however, at the end of the day Kasey Torres was truly an award winner. Kasey was awarded the opportunity and the honor to play, connect , and benefit professionally from playing golf with Legendary Giants, who have promised to, and excited about, following and supporting her throughout her golfing career. My personal feeling is, okay, so she wasn’t handed a trophy, however, she was awarded for her talent by two of the most influential people in America, my friends that is priceless!!
On the subject of former baseball celebrities, and in honor of Black History Month, let’s remember another baseball Hall of Fame “Gentleman” Mr. Minnie Minoso, outfielder for the Chicago White Sox, and the first black major league player in Chicago. Minoso was born Saturnino Orestes Arrieta, in Perico, Cuba. He was a seven-time, all-star. A three-time Gold Glove award winner and finished his career with numbers (.298 average, 186 home runs, 1,023 runs batted in). That some consider Hall of Fame worthy, given that he might have reached the majors earlier, if the game hadn’t been segregated before 1947. Minoso was also one of only two players to appear in Major league games over five different decades.
Minoso died Sunday morning, March 1, 2015 at the age of 90. And so it is ….
Until next time!

The recent law suit filed by Byron Allen’s company against Comcast and Time
Warner Cable raises an important issue that needs to be addressed by the business
community. Unfortunately, the law suit attacks a number of leading civil rights leaders
and organizations and has therefore received a great deal of media attention for the wrong
reason. These attacks have caused the important issue raised in Mr. Allen’s suit to be
obscured.
The issue that Mr. Allen’s suit correctly identifies is the failure of large
companies in the entertainment, broadcasting and advertising industries to do business
with African American owned businesses. This is an issue which NABOB, NBA and the
U.S. Black Chambers have been addressing for years. Our organizations have been
pressing the large corporations which dominate these industries to sell to African
American owned companies when they divest major business units, to use African
American owned banks for deposits and credit facilities, and to procure business services
and products from African American owned suppliers. In far too many instances, our
efforts have produced only token success. And, in recent years we have seen much of the
progress we have made on this issue erode.
In August, 2014, the Congressional Black Caucus recognized that consolidation
of ownership in the broadcasting, cable and internet industries is decreasing ownership
opportunities for African Americans and other people of color, and making opportunities
for business relationships with the resulting mega-companies even more difficult. At that
time, the Federal Communications Commission was (and still is) considering the
application of Comcast to acquire Time Warner Cable in a $45 billion dollar transaction,
and the application of AT&T to acquire DirecTV in a $48 billion dollar transaction.
The Caucus sent a letter to Chairman Tom Wheeler of the FCC in which the Caucus
addressed the problems created by such mega-mergers. The Caucus advised Chairman
Wheeler that, if the FCC is going to permit such mergers, it must take steps to ensure that
the applicants make commitments to the FCC, enforceable by the FCC, to address the
lack of diversity in their industries. The Caucus said:
Prior experience with “mega-merger” proposals shows that even the most
reasonable conditions and diversity pledges go unenforced when they are
not incorporated into the merger application as addendums. The following
principles and questions should be incorporated into all merger
applications triggering a public interest FCC review, as enforceable and
meaningful commitments to the affected communities:
Boards of Directors and Senior Management:
The applicants should
include within their application, in initial filings or by amendment, the
companies’ current diversity goals. Specifically, from junior staff to
middle management to executive management, to the corporate boards,
the applicants should outline the metrics in place to ensure the recruitment
and retention of African Americans, women, and other underrepresented
groups to executive-level management and boards of directors. The
applicants should include a comprehensive outline for how they intend to
integrate diversity and minority inclusion (with qualitative and
quantitative goals and benchmarks) as a part of the corporate culture,
including among executive leadership and top-level management.
Divestitures and Spinoffs:
If applicants are required or independently
seek divestiture of assets and other properties as a condition of the
transaction’s approval, applicants should ensure those divestiture plans
include ownership opportunities for smaller, minority and women-owned
firms. For example, in the Comcast-TWC transaction, and the AT&T-
DirecTV transaction, the applicants should detail how the proposed
transactions will create minority ownership opportunities in the sale of
cable television and wireless cellular systems.
Financial Services:
The applicants should include within their
applications and among their public interest conditions how they intend to
establish and/or expand contracting and consulting opportunities for
minority asset managers, broker-dealers, pension fund consultants, public
finance professionals, investment bankers, securities/bond counselors,
commercial bank underwriters, institutional investors, pension and
endowment plan sponsors and other minority professionals in the financial
services industry. Even before the initial filing of any application with the
FCC, the applicants should also include minority and women-owned firms
in underwriting activities.
Legal Services:
The applicants should include within their application
how they will extend to minority and women-owned law firms and firms
with proven track records of developing and retaining minority and
women associates and partners opportunities to act as outside counsel for
litigation and regulatory matters and corporate transactions.
Real Estate:
The applicants should include within their application how
they will include minority and women owned real estate professionals in
matters involving the acquisition and disposition of company real estate in
the form of land, buildings, real estate improvements, lease of space for
company purposes, subordination agreements related to financed real
estate and other real estate matters.
In addition to the areas listed above, the applicants should also commit to transparency in how they intend to meet their commitments and the Commission must hold them accountable. The results of these commitments must be shared with the organizations and companies that have the knowledge and expertise in the areas in which the commitments are made.
NABOB, NBA and USBC fully endorse the guidelines set forth by the
Congressional Black Caucus. However, we believe that companies should not be
following these guidelines only when they have an application pending before a
government agency. The leading companies in the entertainment, broadcasting and
internet industries should be following these guidelines every day.
It must be pointed out that some companies claim to follow similar guidelines
already. Indeed, some have entered into agreements with civil rights organizations to
follow similar guidelines. The problem however, which led to Mr. Allen’s attack on such
agreements, is that these agreements are rarely with business organizations. At the
negotiating table for any future agreements, or for the evaluation of existing agreements,
should be both the civil rights organizations and organizations with expertise in the
business issues addressed in the agreements.
The need to do more business with African American owned companies and the
need to include organizations with expertise in the subject matter of business agreements
is the critical point that Mr. Allen’s lawsuit brings to light. We look forward to
redirecting the dialogue begun by Mr. Allen’s lawsuit to its critical central point.

Professional golfer/multi-millionaire/serial adulterer Tiger Woods will open his first restaurant in Florida later this spring. News about The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club — to be located at the Harbourside Place development in Jupiter, Florida — first broke last year.
Golf magazine spills more details in its latest issue:The name — while clunky — was chosen for a very specific reason. Developer Nicholas Mastroianni II claims that Woods was not allowed to use his first name with his last name in the restaurant name because Nike “has the rights to the name Tiger Woods.” Apparently anytime Mastroianni wants to use Woods’ name in a press release or marketing material, “he needs permission from Woods’ business people.”

It takes a village to raise a child, says an old African proverb and the saying is still reigning true today. The Greater Cleveland Junior Golf Scholarship Fund (GCJGSF) is a Cleveland, Ohio-based organization that was established in October 1980 by five Cleveland-area parents. Formed as a tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, their objectives are designed to provide an instructional program for youth, ages 6 through 18 in the sport of golf. Their efforts are primarily geared towards minority children.
The GCJGSF is steadfast in their commitment and has successfully continued to achieve their objectives by providing:
- Golf instructions to youth ages 6 through 18 years old.
- A comprehensive instructional golf program based on current PGA guidelines.
- A structured program that develops and rewards excellence in the achievement of academic and personal goals.
- Financial assistance and information towards their pursuit of higher education beyond high school.
- Access to a network of mentors from the Greater Cleveland business, professional, religious and political communities.
It is their love for the community along with the organization’s intensive and personalized golf program that captures the hearts and interests of their participants. GCJGSF utilizes the history of their success to leverage the development of strong business relationships and build resources. The organization serves its area with pride and provides:
- The GCJGSF summer golf program, a 15 week series of weekly sessions (May-August) at Shawnee Hills Golf Course in Bedford, Ohio
- The program’s curriculum is based on official PGA guidelines
- Group lessons by a Shawnee golf professional
- Experienced volunteer instructors/mentors will teach the basic fundamentals of golf to Junior Golfers

The Milennia MIL-AMP200BT has debuted and is already receiving lots of praise. This neat item by Prospect Electronics is convenient and versatile. The product acts as either a multi-zone or stand-alone amplifier. Its small size (only 5″ L x 4″ W x 1.6″ H.) makes it a breeze to place nearly anywhere you want to bring in sound. Packed with Bluetooth capability the feature gives it audio streaming and aux input ability.
A robust four channels is perfect for users who wish to upgrade their current non-Bluetooth audio systems to Bluetooth.
Overall, easy to use and to install it is excellent for use with boats, golf carts, UTVs or spas currently without audio. The 4 x 20W RMS amplifier also incorporates a 3.5 mm auxiliary input so that, with the proper adaptor, users could plug in their portable media devices.
Terrific is the fact that the Milennia MIL-AMP200BT can act as a multi-zone amplifier—which is best explained using a real-world scenario. Say, for example, a stereo and four speakers are installed on the bridge of your boat and FM R&B tunes are being pumped out. In the cabin, another four speakers are wired to the MILAMP200, which is connected to the stereo. Because the Milennia amp has its own Bluetooth and aux in sourcing, owners could connect their Bluetooth device and play jazz (or other music genre) through the cabin speakers while not interfering with the FM R&B music up on the bridge. Perfect, for keeping all of your guests happy onboard!
The Milennia MIL-AMP200BT has a price of $119.95.
