Description

In 1957, golf was an unfamiliar game for many Mexican-Americans. Yet, a group of young caddies from Del Rio formed the San Felipe High School Golf Team and competed against all-white schools in the Texas State High School Golf Championship. Against the odds, they achieved remarkable success. With outdated equipment and no professional lessons, these four self-taught golfers captured the State title. Their individual performances earned gold, silver, and bronze medals for best players. This book tells their inspiring story from their introduction to golf as caddies to becoming champions. Their achievement marked a significant moment in the history of golf in Texas.
