I was stationed at Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA from 1985 to 1988. The Army base raffles off a bunch of tickets, and I won a ticket to see them practice. So, I got to watch Fuzzy Zoeller practice. Actually, I got to watch a bunch of them practice, but he is the only one I recognized.

I believe in 1982 they got to use their own caddies. Before 1982 they had to use the club's caddies -- who were all black.

When I was there the Golf Club hadn't had any black members, but they do now. They still have never had a female member.

I also got to watch a Klan rally while I lived there, and far more people showed up to protest and boo the handful of shmucks who were marching.
