Clyde Martin was a notable figure in the history of golf, particularly during a time when racial segregation was prevalent. In 1939, Clyde Martin achieved a groundbreaking milestone by being named the head professional at the segregated Langston Golf Course in Washington, D.C. At that time, Langston Golf Course served as a designated facility for African-American golfers due to the segregation policies of the era. Despite the challenges of racial segregation, Clyde Martin excelled in his role as head professional, showcasing his skills and expertise in the sport. His appointment at Langston Golf Course was a significant achievement, as it provided opportunities for African-American golfers to access quality instruction and facilities. Troon and its affiliates currently manages the Langston Golf Course, a National Links Trust facility. Established as a designated facility for African-American golfers, Langston became a symbol of progress and equality in the world of golf. It provided a platform for individuals to come together, share their passion for the sport, and contribute to the rich tapestry of the golfing community in the nation's capital. Langston Golf Course's commitment to openness and inclusivity made it a unique and vital institution. It not only offered a place for golf enthusiasts to hone their skills but also became a hub for community engagement and camaraderie. The course's history reflects a resilience against racial barriers, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among its diverse patrons.

Game of golf 'has expanded tremendously' since pandemic, organization says Some First Tee's scholarship athletes have played for Keiser University in West Palm Beach, which partnered with First Tee to attract more junior golfers. With juniors, it's to get them in the game, to get them to start playing, to see what college life is like, and possibly get them to play some college golf," Peter Crocitto, the director of the Keiser University Coaching Center, said. Keiser's Golf Coaching Center is in its third year. The university's initiative is to attract golfers from children to adults. With hundreds of youngsters in the program, they're hoping to birth the next PGA generation of PGA greats. "Unlike most sports, golf is something that lasts forever," Crocitto said. "You can play this game into your 80s or 90s. In other sports, you may have to end your career early, but this is a game that lasts with you for life."

Teaching Elite Players vs Amateurs - What's the Difference? No matter the student, the role of the instructor has never changed in it's purest sense: To Improve the Clients Condition.... I consider myself very lucky because whether I'm teaching a Sir Nick Faldo, Justin Rose or Paul McGinley or one of my members at Knickerbocker Country Club in NJ, I've always recognized 'that' one common denominator; to improve the clients condition. Curiously, I've always viewed it like a surgeon in so much as it matters not who is on the table, because at that point they are all the same, all that matters is they exit, on their terms, with the prospect of getting better. As instructors, we have a job to do: 1. Discover what the student needs help with (be specific) 2. Watch, learn and diagnose. 3. Clearly explain the new technical direction. 4. Teach. So here's the trick, who ever that student may be: find out what success would look like to them - this can be discovered by one of the following questions: 1. 'After the session today, what would you like to achieve?' 2. 'What would you like to see the ball do differently?' 3. 'How will you know that things are changing for you?' This is what I call the discovery period and the more your discover pre lesson the more informed you are of the important deliverables. To end, I consider myself lucky, students are students to me with challenges they need to overcome and it really doesn't matter if they have 6 Majors, a handicap of 6 or have been playing for 6 weeks...the end point is simple: Improve them allied to their desires....

Every year, The Masters captivates audiences with its tradition, drama, and world-class competition. But what skills do players need to conquer Augusta National, one of golf's most challenging courses? ✔️ Mastering the Mental Game: The pressure at The Masters is immense. Players need exceptional focus, composure, and belief to navigate the demanding course and handle the high stakes. ✔️ Precision with Long Irons: Augusta National features many long par 3s and tight fairways. Accurate long iron play is crucial for finding greens in regulation and avoiding bogeys. ✔️ Short Game Wizardry: Delicate chips, precise putting, and bunker escapes are essential around Augusta National's fast greens and tricky slopes. Mastering the short game can save strokes and win tournaments. ✔️ Playing the Angles: Augusta National is known for its strategic layout. Understanding how to play each hole with creativity and course knowledge is key to success. Beyond these, strong fundamentals in grip, posture, and swing mechanics are the foundation for all golfers. With these skills in their arsenal, players battle for the coveted green jacket. Who will rise to the challenge at the next Masters? #TheMasters #GolfSkills #TournamentTough

Augusta National is far more than a golf club, and it's far more than the site for one of the world's leading sporting events. Indeed, it is a one-of-its-kind organization that exemplifies excellence across a multitude of disciplines. As I departed from Augusta over the weekend, I reflected on this special place that Jim Nanz aptly described on television as "a tradition unlike any other." (Augusta subsequently trademarked this phrase). Below are three observations that struck me as fundamental to Augusta's remarkable success. ✅ Attention to detail. At Augusta, every detail is attended to. From the perfect fairways, where not a single blade of grass appears out of place, to the spotless stands and the staff's service, nothing is overlooked. ✅ A vision unlike any other. Augusta was born in 1932 out of the dauntless vision of Bobby Jones (then an iconic US golfer) and British golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie to be a leading national golf course that would host world-class competitions. The club's commitment to being the best is reflected in everything you see—from television coverage to positioning attendees as "patrons" rather than spectators to the club's blue-chip membership. ✅ Long-term decision-making. Augusta does not play for short-term wins. It is invested in long-term value creation and a fundamentally different product than other tournaments. It executes for the long term with unwavering commitment. The famous 330-yard Magnolia Lane that extends from the entrance gate to the clubhouse was paved in 1947, yet the large magnolia trees that line both sides of the road date to the late 1850s. Anchored in tradition but embracing change with cutting-edge technology and analysis—that, to me, is what makes Augusta great. If you have not visited the Masters, I would encourage you to do so—even if it is only to study the remarkable Augusta National institution. #AugustaNational #Golf #Excellence #MagnoliaLane #Tradition
