Illustrated by
John Joven.
This inspirational story relates African American Charles Luther Sifford's difficult struggle to break professional golf's color barrier in 1961. Churnin traces Sifford's journey from being a caddie to winning the National Negro Open numerous times to finally competing in (and later winning) PGA tournaments. Churnin's narrative is understated but moving, and Joven's muted color illustrations catch the story's setting and spirit. Includes an author's note. Timeline.
