John Mercer Langston Golf Course 70th Anniversary Celebration June 5 – 9, 2009
REQUEST FOR SPONSORS
FACT SHEET The site for the historic Langston Golf Course was selected in 1929 as a reaction to the demand for an African American golf course in the District of Columbia; construction however, did not begin until the mid 1930’s. The historic Langston Golf Course was officially opened in 1939 as a venue for minority participation in the game of golf with the strong support of Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior. The Course was named after John Mercer Langston, a renowned Howard University educator and prominent political figure of that era. Langston Golf Course is now on the National Register of Historic Places, maintained and preserved by the National Park Service and managed by the Langston Legacy Golf Corporation. In 2002 a partnership was formed with Howard University to open the Interpretive Education Center and in 2003 this program was integrated into the Langston community schools. For more than 15 years, three junior golf programs have made Langston their home, Masons Army, Langston Junior Boys and Girls and the First Tee, DC; juniors from these programs are nationally and internationally known as The Jimmy Garvin All-Stars and are required to utilize the Education Center. These programs operate year round offering educational and golf instruction. Langston is known as the home of the internationally renowned Capital City Open Pro-Am Tournament and the Jimmy Garvin Legacy Scholarship Classic. Your participation in the 70th Anniversary Celebration is required to ensure the proper recognition for this historic landmark and for the continuation of positive programs benefitting our youth.
