Blazing the Trail by Barry Cohen

Blazing the Trail by Barry Cohen

After 90 years the story of black golf in South Africa must be told! From the time when African chiefs indentured their tribe’s youth to work as caddies for colonial white-South African golfers, to the first black golf club and black golf courses laid out in the bush because they were prevented from playing on normal white-golf courses. Not just an important reference work, this beautifully illustrated volume brings to life values and visions for the brand in a local context. Featuring 69 full color and 79 black & white photographs, this collector’s item chronicles the major impact of the brand on overcoming discrimination, determination, generosity, and the quest to display talent despite all the obstacles. Historical, but entertaining, this book will appeal to younger aspiring golfer and inspire those determined to rise to the top be it sport or other spheres in the future, as well as those interested in the history and those who lived through this era.

Barry Cohen is a well-known figure within the golf sporting circles. Since his return to Cape Town in the mid 1990’s, Cohen has done much to contribute to the sport.
