Can Malik overcome ridicule to
play the game he loves?
Malik Edwards never had any intention of playing golf. In his mind, golf was a game played by old, flabby men wearing funny
pants and hats.Then one day while channel surfing he sees a young black golfer being cheered on by a crowd of adoring fans.
Suddenly golf’s image changes for Malik. Yet even if he wanted to play, where would he get the gear or the money? And where
is a kid living in Brooklyn, New York, supposed to play golf? Malik’s growing desire to learn the game of golf helps him overcome
these obstacles — but the biggest obstacle, the ridicule of his friends, still sits in his path.
