Black golfers admitted
NZPA Johannesburg The main body of South African professional golfers has admitted black professionals for the first time, and the executive director, Jimmy Hemphill, announced he can now travel abroad “without having to hide my head in the sand.” “We have become a fully integrated body,” said Mr Hemphill, who heads the 120member tournament players’ division of the South African
Professional Golfers’ Association. Nine black players were granted membership, he said, meaning they will be able to automatically enter professional tournaments where previously they had to play qualifying rounds. They are Vincent Tshabalal, Joe Dlamini, Richard Mogoerane, Theo Manyama, Shadrack Mollefe, Ismael Chowglay, Peter • Mkata, Daddy Naiddo and John Mashego.
