Only now following the George Floyd episode does Dillard sense a shift in sentiment. “It is slowly getting better,” he tells i. “There have been opportunities for people who have worked hard but have not been able to show what they have. We don’t want stuff handed to us just because we are black. We want the same pathway as everybody else.”
To begin with that means arming clubs and communities with the basic tools to engage. That takes somebody’s money. “Golf is not a cheap sport,” Dillard said. “To go to the store to get a basketball and shoes is a hundred dollars. You can then go to the court and get pretty good for free. You are not paying a $1,000 initiation fee plus $200 a month. And when you pull into a golf course and people are giving you mean looks and there are confederate flags in the backs of cars, it’s hard to feel welcome.”
Bentley has established dialogues with the key stakeholders in American golf bar the most important, the USGA. Alongside the R&A in the UK, the USGA is the global custodian of the game, responsible for its safekeeping and regulation. Bentley believes the USGA has a specific part to play in breaking down the cultural barriers that bar inclusion. He wants golf’s governing body to oil a programme that connects grass roots and the professional game via an established, cost-free pathway. So far the appeal has fallen on deaf ears.
When this newspaper put the question to the USGA, its Chief People Officer Steve Schloss offered this reply. “The USGA is currently not investing in player development. That’s a focus and priority for the professional tours, and that would include the development of any specific community of golfers with tour aspirations. We focus on areas driven through our organisational mission and priorities… Pilot and Into The Sky I Go to Lose My Mind and Find My Soul Poster
“Specifically, this includes working to increase diverse board representation at the local level throughout our Allied Golf Association community, increasing the pipeline and number of diverse rules-qualified volunteers, strengthening [diversity, equity and inclusion] inside the USGA, and increasing the percentage of diverse USGA championship entrants while continuing to make our championships and qualifiers a more welcome and inclusive experience. These are ongoing and important priorities for the USGA.”
