In the US, most golf courses are private clubs, and, as such, were just
about the last institutions to racially integrate. If I'm not mistaken,
some still essentially are, though they would deny it.
Many of the courses Tiger Woods plays on would not have admitted him
(other than as a caddy or waitor) not all that long ago...hence the irony.
