Does the PGA need to do more outreach to African American golfers?
In honor of Black History Month, ESPN has an interesting discussion about Tiger's influence in opening up the game of golf to minorities.
Tiger Woods is the only African American golfer who plays full-time on the PGA tour, and he's really half-Thai. According to Ron Sirak, there were 10 African Americans on tour thirty years ago. If accurate, these numbers are really disconcerting, and a problem for the PGA.

You are a pencil case for two days...
As a hispanic male, I see golf having the same problem baseball (have to play on a field, not always available) and hockey (expensive equipment) have. this is why basketball (play anywhere, only need sneakers and a ball) is so great in the inner city. You would think soccer would be popular in the inner sity but it isnt. Go figure.
word up, yo
