Thoughts on Charlie Sifford

Charlie Sifford's play at Sedgefield in 1961 has been counted as one of the Wyndham Championship's Historical Moments. In 1961 the tournament was being run by a group of inexperienced young men, that despite their lack of business savvy, believed that service to humanity is the best work of life and because of this they let Charlie Sifford play in their tournament six months before "the Caucasian Clause came out of the PGA TOUR bylaws". It's also worth pointing out that the other two tournaments that allowed him to play that year were also being run by Jaycees.
