About this listen

This episode delves into the intricate history encapsulated in Mark Wagner's book, "Native Links: The Surprising History of the First People of Golf." We engage in a profound dialogue about the impact of Native American culture on the sport of golf, exploring the narratives that have often been overlooked. Wagner articulates the challenges faced by writers, particularly regarding rejection and the arduous process of gaining acceptance for their work. Furthermore, we examine the current state of initiatives aimed at expanding access to golf for youth, particularly within marginalized communities. This enlightening conversation not only underscores the importance of inclusivity in golf but also highlights the personal reflections of our guest, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of culture and sport.
