Kamaiu Johnson: From Swinging a Stick to Playing on a PGA Tour
Kamaiu Johnson ended his first-ever round on a PGA tour on Thursday 6 over — a long way from the top of the Leaderboard at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament. But the finish was also a very long way from where the 27-year-old middle school drop out started on a journey that began when he was 13 and moved in with his grandmother. “Everything happens for a reason so her moving here pretty much saved my life,” Johnson said in a video the PGA posted on its Instagram account. His grandmother’s cramped two-bedroom apartment was on the edge of a public golf course in Tallahassee, Florida. “And golf saved my life as well.” “From outside my apartment swinging a stick to playing on a PGA tour,” Johnson said in the video. “That means a lot.” Turning dreams into reality ????????

Rory McIlroy to become 1st international player on PGA Tour board
LOS ANGELES — Rory McIlroy was on a shuttle ride back to the Liberty National clubhouse in August 2019 when he was surprised to hear during a chat about tour policies that no foreign-born player has ever served on the PGA Tour policy board. “That’s going to change,” McIlroy said with a smile. The change arrived Tuesday when McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, won a player election as chairman of the Player Advisory Council, the 16-man committee that provides input to the four players who serve on the board. As chairman, McIlroy will move up to the board next year and begin a three-year term, replacing Jordan Spieth. McIlroy won the election over American Kevin Streelman and Russell Knox of Scotland. The policy board dates to 1969, the first year the PGA Tour broke away from the PGA of America. Why it took so long for a foreign-born player to be elected to the board is a mystery, especially since international players have been a prominent part of the PGA Tour for close to 40 … [Read more...] about Rory McIlroy to become 1st international player on PGA Tour board

Former Detroit Teacher Leads Tours To Highlight Detroit’s Hidden Black History
Southfield (CW50) – When studying history in school, you most likely learned about Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King. All of these historical figures who were instrumental in the eras of slavery and civil rights in our country. But did you ever learn about what was happening right here in Detroit during those chapters in history? Jamon Jordan, a former social studies teacher in Detroit, noticed a discrepancy within his class’s text books in his 20 years of teaching. Nowhere in the curriculum was anything about the Black history of Detroit. Wanting his students to learn about the history that happened in their own backyards led Jamon to teach outside the textbook, so his students could become aware of the city’s impact on Black history, not just what was happening in the south.
