PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Kicking off Black History Month, West Philadelphia’s own Chill Moody is on a mission to make golf accessible to everyone, regardless of background.
The Hip-hop artist and founder of “We Golf Now” invited families to Ballers in Fishtown, to sign up and try out the new golf simulators.
Through his non-profit, Moody is offering free weekly golf classes to kids, ages eight to 18 in the Philadelphia area.
“We’re teaching the terms and the etiquette of the golf course. When you learn that stuff, the barrier isn’t as high as I thought it was,” said Chill Moody. “So creating this space creates that opportunity, so we break down those barriers.”
The non-profit is hoping to inspire more Black and brown youth to get involved in golf through youth clinics, mentorship programs and workforce opportunities.
Moody was also there Sunday signing copies of his new children’s book, “Gia the Golfer.”
It’s a story about a young, Black golfer who finds her late grandfather’s golf clubs, while cleaning out his attic.
She finds magic in these clubs that take her all the way to a golf tournament, until she loses them on her big day. Gia perseveres without her grandfather’s clubs and discovers the magic has been in her all along.
“Gia the Golfer” is available online and in stores.
Openings for the winter session of “We Golf Now” are still available.
