Abstract

African-American trailblazers are crucial in the game of golf as unlike some of the other mainstream sports, such as football, baseball, and basketball, the sport of golf has been historically entrenched in patriarchy and white privilege. The article analyzes the pioneering efforts and trailblazing endeavors of four legendary black golfers in this regard—Ted Rhodes, Charlie Sifford, Lee Elder, and Tiger Woods. Each of these black trailblazers has taken varied approaches in fighting for racial inclusivity in golf, from more implicit and non-confrontational tactics to more radical and militant ones. The article focuses on the racial discrimination experienced by each trailblazer, the strategies each took to fight injustice and racial inequality and advocate for equal participation in golf, and their successes and failures of breaking down barriers for future black players. Consideration in the article is also given to the phenomenon of trailblazing and how golf needs African-American trailblazers such as Tiger Woods to transition the exclusive sport to a game that is more easily accessible by all races and genders.

Abstract

1997 MASTERS FINAL-ROUND PAIRING: TIGER WOODS (-15) CONSTANTINO ROCCA (-6) WOODS' WINNING SCORE: 270 (-18) His margin of victory was 12 strokes - which remains a Masters record. 2001 MASTERS FINAL-ROUND PAIRING: TIGER WOODS (-12) PHIL MICKELSON (-11) WOODS' WINNING SCORE: 272 (-16) Tiger's second Masters win - and sixth major in four years - required some digging out. And on April 10, 1997, in his first round at the Masters as a professional, Tiger Woods still bettered his playing partner, defending champion Nick Faldo, by a stroke on the front nine.

Abstract

• We analyze golfers' risk-taking strategies using ten years of data from the PGA. • Golfers become more likely to adopt risky strategies as the value of risk-taking rises. • Golfers' risk levels are discontinuous for those around the cut. • Golfers' willingness to take risks changes with the presence superstars. • We find evidence that both stratigic decisions, as well as effort, matter in the superstar effect (Brown 2011). We use a unique dataset comprised of observations from ten years of professional golf tournaments to analyze golfers' risk-taking strategies. We focus on analyzing the decisions golfers made when hitting their second shots on par five holes, a shot that often forces golfers to play daringly or conservatively, with little in between. Successful gambles often lead to profitable outcomes when executed well but leave golfers open to tail-end risks for poorly struck shots. Our analysis yields three interesting findings, all of which are closely related to previous studies of strategic risk. First, the strategies golfers adopt hew closely to the way economic agents in other settings cope with uncertainty. Second, golfers' decisions are dynamic throughout tournaments, especially when playing relatively well early in a tournament and near the halfway mark of a tournament when the worst-performing half of the field is cut. We use regression discontinuity tools to show meaningful differences between the decisions made by golfers on either side of the cut score. Last, we argue golfers' willingness to take risks was affected by Superstar Tiger Woods, a finding that suggests a strategic component of the Superstar Effect needs to be considered alongside the effort component, as discussed in Brown (2011).

9. Improving performance by anchoring movement and "nerves".

Abstract

Golf's governing bodies' recent decision to ban all putting styles "anchoring one end of the club against the body" bridges an important practical problem with psychological theory. We report the first experiment testing whether anchoring provides technical and/or psychological advantage in competitive performance. Many "greats" of professional golf from Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods have argued against anchoring, believing that it takes "nerves" out of competitive performance and therefore artificially levels the playing field. To shed more light on the issue, we tested participants' performance with anchored and unanchored putters under low and high pressure when controlling for the putter length. We found no statistically significant evidence for a technical advantage due to anchoring but a clear psychological advantage: participants who anchored their putters significantly outperformed unanchored counterparts under high, but not low, pressure. Results provide tentative evidence for the ban's justification from a competitive standpoint. However, before any definite conclusions can be made, more research is needed when using high-level golfers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article describes how golfer Tiger Woods helped transformed Liverpool from being a "self-pity city" into a city where champions are free to feel and free to make sense of the meaning of life. Woods was seen crying after winning the 2006 British Open Championships at the Royal Liverpool course in Hoylake, located a few miles to the west of Liverpool, England. According to the author, only in Liverpool could Woods be given the emotional space and public license to grieve in triumph and it is also the only city where champions are allowed to sob and then smile. He added that Woods had given Liverpool something when he cried after winning: he had articulated the relationship not only between the affect and sport but between the affect and the city with a particular affective history.

Abstract

The article focuses on televised golf production, their historical bases and speculate on how golf's mode of production influences its reception by a viewer. It identifies and outlines a critique of televised golf's visual style and how the producers attempt to construct narrative from a series of disjointed and fragmented segments. The article examines the 2003 Funai Classic tournament from Walt Disney World. This tournament is of particular interest because it is played on two courses simultaneously and has the added ratings benefit of golfer Tiger Woods as a participant. Unlike arena sports, golf does not have timeouts or natural breaks in the sporting action that conform naturally to television's flow. A golf tournament meanders for several hours over four days. Golf tournaments may feature as many as 124 participants in groups of two, also making it distinct from the arena sports. Therefore, the action in golf is very much created and controlled by the television producer and the on-air commentators. The producers provide the visual content, and the on-air commentators must then form a narrative for the viewers.

Recent interest in the role of African Americans in the game of golf has coincided with the meteoric rise of Tiger Woods to the top of that sport. However, African Americans have a long history of participation in golf, characterized by exclusion from mainstream golf activities controlled by whites and the development of their own activities, organizations and star performers in response to racial discrimination. This paper examines the history of race relations in golf and argues for the formal recognition of the "African American Golf Legacy" by the golf establishment as a part of current efforts to foster greater inclusion of African Americans and other minorities.
