Less than 3% of recreational golfers are Black. Why? The sport is not incentivizing to Black people. Perhaps that's by design. When you close your eyes and think of a golfer who do you see? White, male, stuffy, bloated, cigar-smoking individuals perhaps? Very much akin to spaces occupied in corporations - less than 2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Black. Until 1961, the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA), prohibited Black players from competing. The PGA would, however, permit Black people to participate as caddies and groundskeepers. Cruel. Despite these clear social injustices, Black people have played the game of golf for over a century, creating Black golf clubs, and opening Black golf courses (read: we made a space for ourselves). Our #SoulfulSundays community is a reclamation of love for the game of golf, and reflection of our love for each other. We'd love for you to join us. You don't have to know how to play, or even have clubs. We meet at Sligo Creek Golf Course on Sundays at 8:30am, warm-up and provide basic swing instructions at the practice net, then play 9-holes in a scramble format. The round lasts about 2-hours, and afterwards we gather for adult beverages and vibes. Not only are you welcome, we created this space with you in mind. You don't have to be any good to have a great time. It's a safe-space for ashy swings.

Last Sunday two friends and I went to the "Chesterton Polo In The Park 2024" We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. 5 facts about the Game Of Polo. Origin of the Name: The word "polo" is derived from the Tibetan word "pulu," meaning ball Polo Ponies: Despite being called "ponies," the horses used in polo are typically full-sized and are specially trained for the sport. For the 2024 Chestertons Polo In The Park (at Hurlingham Park) over 300 horses were in London for the games The Hurlingham Polo Association: Founded in 1875, the Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) is the governing body for polo in the UK and Ireland, and it sets the rules and standards for the game. Chukkas: A polo match is divided into periods called chukkas (or chukkers), each lasting 7 minutes. There is a 3-minute break between chukkas and a 5-minute halftime. A typical game consists of 4 to 8 chukkas, with players often changing horses between chukkas to ensure the horses are not overworked. Teams: The game involves two teams of four players. Each player must hold the mallet in their right hand and strike the ball from the right-hand side of the horse.   WHAT FACTS ABOUT THE GAME OF POLO DO YOU KNOW?
