    Bing and the Color Barrier in Golf

    Here is an article by college professor Lane Demas about a very special golf tournament that transcended the color barrier. Bing Crosby, among other celebrities, was a part of it. I found it very interesting, so I thought I'd share it. Enjoy!

    That was interesting, even to a non-golfer such as I. I wonder if Tiger Woods was inspired by some of the early black golfers.
