revkev Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I had heard he was failing - very under rated guy - good player, great ball striker but more importantly at the forefront of breaking barriers. He will be missed Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozcycle Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Tiger said that if it weren't for Charlie Sifford, his father may not have played golf, therefore he probably would not have played.

BIG STU Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Mr Sifford was from Charlotte NC and I knew him well. Him and my Dad were friends. In fact a couple of years ago they renamed Revolution Park Golf Club in Charlotte DR Charles Sifford course. Back in the day it was the only public course that those of the African American race were allowed to play. I grew up in those times in the early 60s. I can tell you one thing a lot of good players cut their teeth on that course. I can remember when we had a change of management at our course they opened it up for those folks to play and they came. I know about half of the guys that were featured on the GC show "Uneven Fairways". In fact you can tell some really old timers from my area because we referred to Mr Sifford as "Cigar Charlie" or just plain "Cigar" of course me being a kid I called him Mr Sifford in fact when I saw him 3 or 4 years ago I still called him Mr Sifford. Yep the man did a lot in his 92 years on this earth! RIP Mr Sifford you earned it the hard way.
