In the
early 1970’s Black golfers were having problems playing organized golf in the
state of Florida. In 1972 Robert Saffold of Sebring, Florida talked with several
Black golfers during the “Sephia Open (Pro-Am) Golf Tournament” being held in
Sebring at the Harder Hall Golf Course. During this meeting, the golfers
discussed the formation of a statewide organization that all Black golfers could
join and participate in friendly tournament competition. Included among this
pioneering group of Black golfers were Ed Henry, Ernest King, James Hastie,
Danny Sutton, Eddie Postell, Leonard Wilson and Robert Saffold. This notable
list of golfers noted that several cities in Florida at that time had
established tournaments such as Tampa (Rogers Park), Jacksonville (Moncreif),
Ocala (Compton #2), and Miami (North/South @ Miami Springs). They started the
dialogue which led to this concept becoming a reality.

TIP OF THE MONTH
GEARING UP FOR SSAGA 2007
Most golfers take their health and fitness for granted. The emotional and physical stress on the body from playing golf can take a toll on the mind and body. To play at the top of your game, you must get in shape. To get in shape, you need to focus on three keys areas. Start any fitness routine gradually after consulting with your personal physician.
1. ESTABLISH AN AEROBIC BASE: You can jog, but stationary biking and elliptical training are less stressful on the knees.
2. BUILD FLEXIBILITY: To hit with power and accuracy, the shoulders, lower back, and hips must be able to rotate freely through a swing motion. Gently stretch these critical muscle groups.
3. DEVELOP STRENGTH: Lunges, and push-ups are a great start for building strength in key shoulder and leg muscles.
