Despite coming to the game later in life, Michael Williams has held numerous interesting roles within golf, has traveled the globe covering the game & spoken with a who’s who of the sport over the years for his own show, the 19th hole on GolfWRX.
Earlier this year in the wake of the social upheaval that gripped the country following the killing of George Floyd, the native Washingtonian penned a letter to the golf industry, directed at the game’s governing bodies that were struggling for a response or how to take action. In Michael’s letter he talks about his frustration with how the game he loves has not sufficiently progressed on issues of diversity and inclusion and provides his thoughts, ideas & proposals on how the sport can & must do better.
In our conversation, we hear Michael’s backstory growing up in D.C., and journey in life & golf that has formed his opinions and perspective today.
