Golf Profiles

 The first African American to design, build and own a golf course, William Powell was a true pioneer in golf.  After serving in World War II, Powell returned home determined to provide a place for black players to enjoy golf.  While working full time, he designed and built Ohio’s Clearview Golf Club, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  A member of the PGA, Strong has received numerous awards for his ground breaking career.  Strong’s daughter, Renee Powell, was among the first African –American women to play on the LPGA tour, having competed in more than 250 tournaments, she was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by St. Andrews University in Scotland.

Golf Tips

• Rhythm is the key.
• Don’t rush the downswing.  Star slowly with the legs and hips then let the shoulders and arms unwind.  Let the wrists unlock naturally.
• Complete the follow through until your body is facing the target.
• A golf swing only lasts about one second.  Your mind has time to manage only one technical thought per swing. Choose one, and concentrate on that one only.
• Precision is more important than yardage.  The distance remaining to the green is more important than the distance of your stroke.
• Always remember your best shots.
