Avis Brown-Riley is a champion both on and off the golf course. Avis competed professionally on the LPGA circuit, winning dozens of titles as well as being the only African American woman to win both the Junior World Golf Championship and the San Diego Women’s City Amateur Championship. On top of that Avis has appeared on TV's Holey Moley, raised a new generation of golfers and successfully battled cancer.
We talked with Avis about all of these achievements, how the sport has changed and the work she is doing to spread the joy of the game. It was a fascinating conversation.
