PGA of America Hall of Fame member Renee Powell joins "Golf Innerview" podcast host Ann Liguori to discuss a wide range of topics, from growing up in Canton, Ohio, to the work of the Powell Education Center.
Powell shares stories of overcoming racism and her life's work with her father, fellow PGA Hall of Fame member William Powell, at Clearview Golf Club. She also talks about Clearview hosting two ground-braking Black women's golf clubs — Wake-Robin Golf Club and Chicago Women's Golf Club, which were founded nine months apart in 1937.
