Clifford Roberts quote:

“As long as I’m alive, all the golfers will be white and all the caddies will be black”.


Eventually, he shot himself dead near a golf course hole similar to his parents.

Interestingly, his mother was related to Francis Scott Key.



Roberts was chairman for about 44 years after co-founding the club with golfer Bobby Jones.

He has an interesting story.

I might create a thread about him.



I kept seeing articles about White Supremacy, and they didn't make sense.

This has opened my eyes, so thank-you for showing me how you feel and think.


Thanking me for sharing that I do care about a private golf club that has nothing to do with me? You're welcome.

"White Supremacy" has been lowered to being someone who does not cheer on anything the left wants. The people who use the term will call me one because I prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate.

Or they may possibly call you one because of your words, actions, and beliefs.

Strangely southwest PA is in some kind if island of clear air. I saw a smoke map yesterday, smoke to the east, smoke to the west, smoke to the north. Nothing here.

I finally realized why Augusta National Golf Club has a tournament named Masters (race and sex).

Not masters of golf.

A play on wording to hide behind.

Tennis has nine events with that moniker across a few different countries.

I will be in Augusta Georgia in September. I will be doing some networking (and bribing) to see if I can find someone to let me golf with them at Augusta National. I had tickets to a Master's practice round back in the 90's but couldn't even get a ticket to the tournament for a real round.

What? No. There is a series of nine events called, "The Masters," that take place every year.

1934 was the first Masters' tournament.
