On the PGA Tour there are just four African-American players.  Andy Walker,  the 45-year-old African-American and Lynn University men’s golf coach, wants to change that with the creation of the UGA Developmental Academy, which will nurture  African-American golfers for careers as tour players and employment opportunities  in the industry. Walker knows what it takes to compete on the game’s highest level. The Phoenix native  was a member of Pepperdine’s 1997 men’s golf  national championship team, as well as a Korn Ferry Tour veteran. With old friends, Bo and Farrell, Andy shares his vision for changing the face of the game and reviving the spirit of the UGA, the black golf circuit that before the integration of the PGA Tour in the 1960s was the chief proving ground for the best black players.
