I remembered when I was a kid I always wondered why he was the only black guy playing golf on TV. This is a great interview, what a great champion & person.
When he was 11 he fell out tree and broke his left elbow in 3 places. Never able to keep one of his levers (arm) straight more than 30 degrees. He preferred football and basketball. Never thought about golf because it wasn't much of a mans sport to him. Till one day his friends tricked him into playing and he discovered the challenge. Amazing story. True Legend. Nice Interview.
Man he was great, did not pick up a golf club until he was 23. God Bless you Calvin Pete. And thank you Andy Golf Travel Diary for the video interview.
I would watch him when I was a kid in the eighties. My dad was an avid golfer so we would watch the tournament's back then. I was to young to realise that he was playing a sport when there was no other African Americans really playing that sport let alone to be a professional. By the way I'm African American. RIP Calvin Pete.
Agree with you there for sure! Good thing we can play it forward and still give a par-5 a go in two a couple of times a round! Power and finesse have always been a part of the game... are still are! Merry Christmas!
Legend! Miss this guy
A gentleman, God Bless Calvin
Totally agree!
Class gentleman
Loved his confidence. Self belief is an awesome thing to witness.
A true champion!
I loved this guy....
A beautiful man and an inspiration to all.
Schuyler, I totally agree! One of my best interviews- guy with a heart, honest and loved the game!

Thank you! Great competitor with ties to Rochester NY where he started to play the game!
I watched him at the JC Penny at Bardmoor in largo FL... He was amazing to watch. I was immediately captivated by his striking the ball.

A most exceptional and remarkable man, husband ,Dad ,golfer, …
Calvin, Lee, James, Pete, Charles, Charlie, Tiger, and to all the black golfers, thank you!!!
True champion to the game and to the people .... straightest hitter that ever was
Agreed! Thank you for your comment!
I miss the days when short hitters could still win with a well rounded game. It's turned into a long driving competition.
Agree with you there for sure! Good thing we can play it forward and still give a par-5 a go in two a couple of times a round! Power and finesse have always been a part of the game... are still are! Merry Christmas!
One weird hitch in his giddy up, but always found the short grass.
did not have any sponsors, shameful
