Publisher's summary

The story of Charlie Sifford - the first Black PGA Golfer! Born in Charlotte, NC in 1922, Charlie's golf story is amazing - victorious in every decade and tour he played on from the 1940's to 2000's, however this story goes far beyond golf. It's an American story - from overcoming the obstacles of Jim Crow America - Charlie was a demonstration of courage and perseverance; to Charlie's love of family and friends along the way. It's a story that children of all ages will surely learn from and enjoy. The original version of the Just Let Me Play book was released in 1992. This Centennial edition of Just Let Me Play has been updated to include an epilogue edited by Charles Sifford, Jr.

Amazing!

I just finished the book and was speechless. This has to be one of the most inspiring stories of African American pioneers. It change my perspective on what it’s means to work hard and stay true to your passion. I love playing golf, but my appreciation for the game has been changed forever.

And play he did to the highest level “When Allowed “

I’m 73 White and ashamed of these circumstances
Dr. Sifford endured and I caddied most of my
Younger years.
The awards and accommodations that were bestowed are well deserved.
