The Story of Charlie Sifford - The First Black PGA Golfer.
Born in Charlotte, NC in 1922, Dr. Sifford's golf story is amazing - victorious in every decade and on every tour he played on from the 1940's to the 2000's, yet his story goes far beyond golf. It's an American story - in overcoming the obstacles of Jim Crow America, Charlie was a demonstration of courage and perseverance. His love of family and friends along the way sustained him during his pioneering efforts. In his own words, listen to Charlie's story - his exposure to golf through the caddie system, traveling with the jazz greats of the 1940's and 50's, fighting to gain access on the PGA tour and his lifelong pursuit of just wanting to play the game of golf.
A story that children of all ages will surely learn from and enjoy. The original version of the Just Let Me Play book was released in 1992. This centennial edition of Just Let Me Play, was re-released in 2021, and has been updated to include an epilogue edited by Charles Sifford, Jr. and new pictures of the famed golfer - Dr. Charles L. Sifford.
