I am a 76-year-old African American man and a native Washingtonian. My father was a World War II veteran and worked as a clerk at the Pentagon for 35 years. In order to supplement our family’s income, he caddied at a suburban country club every weekend. Like many working-class Black men of his generation, that was his first exposure to golf. He loved the game. He taught me to play golf at East Potomac Golf Links and its driving range. Often, we combined golf, fishing and picnicking in a single day.
