SPECIAL DELIVERY: How Black culture is forcing the golf world to change its ways for the better

A conversation about how golf is finally embracing Black culture and why that just makes the sport better

For a long time as a young Black man, it didn’t feel like golf was ever a sport truly made for me.

I didn’t see anyone who looked like me playing it. The sport was never marketed to me. It never even appeared to be a real option for recreation or otherwise. And some of that still persists today.

But it’s also starting to change, bit by bit. The sport is slowly, but surely, starting to embrace Black culture and the things that make it cool.

You see that from everything to the clothes people are wearing on the greens to the kicks they’re showing off and even who is actually playing the game now.

What we wanted to find out was where the root of that change stems from. So we tapped in with Vibez Amateur Golf club on this week’s episode of Special Delivery to find out.

Our conversation with NFL running backs Melvin Gordon, Dare Ogunbowale and their college buddy Noe Vital Jr. was equal parts entertaining and enlightening on this new energy coming into the golf world.

Tap in and enjoy.

Watch: Vibez Golf Club stops by ‘Special Delivery’ to discuss how they’re paving the way for new demographics and individuals in golf

Golf hasn’t always been a welcoming sport. Luckily, brands like Vibez Golf Club are changing that.

Golf hasn’t always been the most welcoming sport.

Thankfully, things have begun to change and it’s because of brands like Vibez Golf Club.

VGC’s mission (taken from their site):

“We are an amateur golf club that wants to truly expand the game of golf by paving the way for new demographics and individuals. To do so we plan to knock down many of the assumptions and misconceptions built around the sport that are deeply rooted with its elitist history. Golf should and can be played by anyone, regardless of their background, upbringing and personal appearances. No one should try to be someone they aren’t nor should they act a certain way to be accepted into the world of Golf. As long as you play the game for enjoyment and respect it’s rules, you can play. We want to build the bridge that allows someone who looks like us to just as easily pick up a golf club as they do a basketball or football.”

Vibez Golf Club stopped by ‘Special Delivery’ to discuss this mission and how they’re trying to change the game.
