The compelling, little-known story of golfer Charlie Sifford and
attorney Stanley Mosk who together made history by taking on the
PGA and their Caucasians Only by-law. It began with a chance
meeting at a Los Angeles country club in 1959. That was the day
Charlie Sifford, the first Black golfer to get his PGA card, and
Stanley Mosk, a crusading civil rights attorney and California
Supreme Court justice, met for the first time. Little did either of
them know that it would grow into a history-making alliance that
would end segregation in professional golf. In Changing the Course:
How Charlie Sifford and Stanley Mosk Integrated the PGA, Peter May
tells the captivating story of Sifford and Mosk’s battle to end
the rank racial discrimination that had been codified in the
constitution of the PGA. Black golfers who preceded Sifford, such
as Bill Spiller and Ted Rhodes, had unsuccessfully challenged the
PGA’s discriminatory policy. Sifford had been fighting the PGA
for years just to be able to compete with the white players. Mosk
had little knowledge of the PGA or the fact that Blacks were being
discriminated against by the organization’s by-laws. But the
golfer had a cause that the attorney general was only too eager to
champion. The two made for a powerful pair. Changing the Course
focuses on the individual journeys of Sifford and Mosk before
delving into the crucial intersection of their lives that changed
the professional golf world forever. Their stories provide a window
into the changing landscape of mid-20th century America when the
nation was forced to confront its history of racial injustice in
professional sports and beyond.
