EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic piece of golfing history - the 8 iron golf club used by the talented African-American golfer, Ethel Funches, in the late 20th century. Created by renowned brand PING, this remarkable club is a testament to Funches' skill and dedication to her craft. The silver-colored metal shaft exudes elegance and durability, while its black rubber grip at the top provides both comfort and control during each swing. The grip itself features short grey diagonal lines that create a visually striking pattern, adding a touch of sophistication to this sporting artifact. Intriguingly, at the center of the grip lies a line drawing depicting an arrow-like shape. This subtle yet symbolic detail perhaps represents Funches' unwavering focus and precision on the golf course. As we admire this significant object housed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it serves as a powerful reminder of Funches' contribution to not only African-American heritage but also to American sports history overall. Her achievements have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on both her community and the wider world of golf. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how sport can transcend boundaries and empower individuals like Ethel Funches to break barriers with their talent and determination.
