Prejudice hasn't changed to this day, not in golf. Maybe in other sports.		109
Tiger had the advantage of high school, college, and a father who knew golf. I was self-taught. Blacks really won't play golf in great numbers until some of these basketball and football stars buy some golf courses where blacks can play.		110
Golf is such a wonderful game. I love it to death.		111
