What the heck? Founder of Black Girls Golf? (video)

Posted by Kris on 2/22/2025, 11:38 am

Tiffany Mack Fitzgerald, just pissed me off big time, she started Black Girls Golf to champion diversity and inclusion in golf. I mean GOSHH, somebody, like Trump, must put these Black girls back in their place. My heart can handle these stuff. I might get a heart-attack anytime now.

Signed: Pissed off Kris.

lol

I think if it wasn't for Alfred F Holmes(photo below) Tiger Woods would have never been allowed to play golf anywhere in the south. LOL!!!

Tup helped lead the fight to play on tax supported golf facilities explaining, “If you give me one good satisfactory reason why I can’t play on the city owned golf courses, I’ll accept it. If not, we play.” The efforts of Tup, his father Hamilton M. Holmes, and brother Oliver W. Holmes were rewarded 4 years later with access to all of Atlanta’s courses following the US Supreme Court’s Holmes v. Atlanta decision which ordered the city’s public golf courses to desegregate.

Good for her and big props, especially in creating spaces where Black women can gather.

"you can never be what you can't see."
Not really, lots of Black folks have succeeded in spaces where there hadn't been any black role models but excelled by strictly being industrious.
I had that mindset earlier on but i've adjusted that overview a bit.
You can succeed in places where there's never been black models to look up too. Of course, a Black face can inspire but that's mostly hype!

...now hopefully Trump, Elon Musk or Tiger Woods will not hear of her program otherwise they'll tag it DEI/Diversity and make sure they NEVER set foot on any public or even private golf course again. This is today's America!

btw i've never heard of Alfred 'Tup' Holmes and Tiger sent me a text saying he doesn't know of Mr Holmes and doesn't identify with him. Tiger insist he's a "Cablinasian", not black.
