Yesterday, we featured the above mural at the Gillespie Golf Course. We love today's angle of the photo of the mural of the Greensboro Six. It leads the eye to one of the golfers who was out playing the 9-hole course on Tuesday. The photo, from this orientation, shows how well the course is maintained. In learning more about the mural and the Wyndham tournament, we finally made the connection between the mural and Wyndham; which, starting today and until August 11th, will be held at the Sedgefield Country Club.
Wyndham Rewards is a program associated with the Wyndham Golf Resorts and they partnered with First Tee- Central Carolina to make this mural and the documentary about it a reality. The project was announced last year at the 84th Wyndham Championship. So as we watch people playing the championship, know that the company associated with it has done this good deed for the community. As you may have heard, fans aren't allowed to attend today due to the threat of bad weather. Let's hope the golfers are safe and the weather permits the tournament to go on. We would like to thank Wyndham Rewards for the mural and love the fact that Greensboro cares about its Civil Rights history. May the Gillespie Golf Course, First Tee- Central Carolina, and the Wyndham all continue to be a part of Greensboro for a very long time.
Happy Thursday!
