The salient point of our discussion centers on the intriguing intersection of Native American history and the sport of golf, as elucidated in Mark Wagner's newly published work, "Native Links: The Surprising History of Our First Peoples in Golf." This episode delves into the extensive research that reveals the substantial contributions of Native American tribes to the golfing landscape, particularly in the context of economic development through golf courses established on tribal lands. We explore the multifaceted narratives of notable figures such as Oscar Bunn and Orville Moody, whose stories encapsulate the rich heritage and continued presence of Native Americans in golf. Furthermore, we reflect on the broader implications of golf as an avenue for empowerment and cultural recovery within Native communities. Join us as we unravel these compelling stories that highlight both the historical and contemporary significance of golf in the lives of Indigenous peoples.
