    SPORT AND GEOPOLITICS PROGRAMME GOLF POLITICS: THE SOCIAL ROLE OF THE GAME IN THE UNITED STATES AND BEYOND Interview with Orin STARN / Professor of cultural anthropology and history at Duke University and author of The Passion of Tiger Woods : an anthropologist reports on golf, race, and celebrity scandal (2011) Conducted by Estelle BRUN / Research Assistant at IRIS APRIL 2020 GEOSTRATEGIC SPORTS OBSERVATORY GEOSTRATEGIC SPORTS OBSERVATORY - SPORT & RI PROGRAMME / April 2020 ON GOLF, SEXISM AND RACISM IRIS: In your blog on golf and politics1, you mentioned the comments of Hank Haney – Tiger Wood’s former coach – which sparked controversy as he seemed to ignore that a major tournament in women’s golf was going to occur and guessed that a “Lee” would win it. This anecdote tackles two important themes in sports and politics: racism and sexism. How is the state of gender equality in golf, compared to other sports? Have you witnessed any particular improvements within the last one or two decades? ORIN STARN: Golf has a peculiar history in relation to gender equality. It was one of the first sports that women were allowed to play, along with tennis, croquet and other more "lady-like" games, in the 19th century, at a time when women were still banned from more "manly" sports, like football and wrestling. It was mostly upper-class white women, to be sure, and yet it was still a change from the past, when sports were viewed entirely as the province of men. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) was the first women's professional league in any sport, decades ahead of the Women National Basketball Association (WNBA) or women's soccer leagues.

He has steadily built a reputation as an instructor, not only to the club level player, but to touring professionals as well.

In his book, The Big Miss, Hank gives a candid and surprisingly insightful account of his tumultuous six-year journey with Tiger Woods, during which the supremely gifted golfer collected six major championships and rewrote golf history. Hank was one of the very few people allowed behind the curtain. He was with Tiger 110 days a year, spoke to him over 200 days a year, and stayed at his home up to 30 days a year, observing him in nearly every circumstance: at tournaments, on the practice range, over meals, and relaxing with friends As host of Golf Channel's hit show, The Haney Project, Hank has worked with celebrity golfers like Charles Barkley, Michael Phelps, Ray Romano and Rush Limbaugh.

The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods’ current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of ‘professionalism’ in golf coaches. Key words: Altruism, Coach Education, Ethics, Evidence-Based Medicine, Golf Instruction, Professional Golfers’ Association, Reflective Practice, Scholarship, Scientism, Self-Awareness, Specialized Knowledge, Spirituality, Trust, Values INTRODUCTION The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) of America, which is the world’s largest working sports organisation with currently 27,000 members, was formed in 1916 [1]. The mission of The PGA of America is to promote the employment and involvement of the game of golf and to contribute to its growth by providing services to golf professionals, consumers and the golf industry [2]. A Code of Ethics was added to the Constitution in 1931, and in 1933 membership required a three-year apprenticeship.

  • Men's Golf Program, Winning by One Stroke at 8-Under After Card- Ing a 1-Under 71 at the Concession Golf Club
    men’s Golf men’s Golf October 25, 2018 marked the 19-year anniversary of the tragic passing of one of SMU’s most prominent athletes and one of golf’s most charismatic figures, Payne Stewart. Stewart, an 11-time PGA Tour winner and three-time Major Champion, left an impact on the world of golf and the Mustangs’ golf program. After playing at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and earning his degree, the Missouri-native turned professional late in 1979, but failed to earn a PGA Tour card. So, instead, he competed on the Asian Tour, winning twice. In 1982, Stewart earned his PGA Tour card, where he went on to claim his first-of-11 PGA Tour titles, the 1982 Quad Cities Open. Stewart would total 11 PGA Tour wins in his career, and won his first major at the 1989 PGA Championship. In 1991, Stewart claimed his first U.S. Open, before going on to win his second in 1999, dramatically sinking a 15-foot putt to beat Phil Mickelson by one stroke. Payne went on to become one of the most unforgettable figures in golf, striding the fairways in signature plus-fours and a tam-o’-shanter cap, while displaying a graceful, fluid golf swing and intensity. He was posthumously inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001, before being inducted into the 2015 PGA of America Hall of Fame. In 2000, the PGA Tour established the Payne Stewart Award, which is given each year to a player who shows respect for the traditions of the game, com- mitment to uphold the game’s heritage of charitable support and professional and meticoulous presentation of himself and the sport through his dress and conduct.
