LANGSTON GOLF COURSE HERITAGE CELEBRATION JUNE 8, 2013

Washington, D.C. --- Langston Golf Course will celebrate its recent induction into the National Black Golf Hall of Fame by hosting the Langston Heritage Celebration on Saturday, June 8, 2013.  The celebration is of notable importance given its prominent place in history, the connection of African American golfers and the community it strives to bring together.  This commemorative event will consist of storytelling panels and interactive golf exhibits.

Golf Course Specialists President Kim Thomas said “It’s exciting that we’ve come together to share in this important celebration. Planning this event has ignited the facility's many connections with the community.  We’ve reunited with old golf clubs and re-discovered many other people who have been part of the fabric of Langston’s legacy.”

The short list of panel speakers scheduled in the program includes golf notables: Dr Calvin Sinnette (Author, Forbidden Fairways), Calvin Peete (NBGHF, 1986), Peter McDaniel (Author, Uneven Lies), Jim Dent (NBGHF, 1992), and Susan Wasser (Assistant Director, USGA Museum).
