Celebrating The 125th Anniversary Of John Matthew Shippen, Jr., America's First Golf Professional
On July 18, 1896, a young Black man named John Matthew Shippen, Jr. emerged to become American's first Golf Professional when he competed in the 1896 U.S. Open.
John Matthew Shippen, Jr., an African American golfer who competed in several early U.S. Opens, was the first American-born golf professional. At the age of 16, Shippen earned an assistant professional post at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, where he began giving lessons to some of the club members and became an accomplished player in his own right. With the 1896 U.S. Open to be contested at Shinnecock, Shippen entered the championship on July 18, 1896, over the protests of several English and Scottish professionals in the field. He finished fifth in the tournament, received $10 and affirmation of his playing ability, and competed in five more U.S. Opens, the last in 1913.

Shippen eventually served as a golf professional at several clubs, including the famed Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa., with his last stop at the Shady Rest Golf Course in Scotch Plains N.J., in 1924. He remained there until his retirement in 1960. Today, the John Shippen Foundation and Youth Academy in Scotch Plains is named in his honor.

Accomplishments:

The first American-born golf professional
Shinnecock Hills Assistant professional at age 16
Competed in 6 USGA Opens, 5th in 1896 Shady Rest Golf Course (Scotch Plains, NJ) Golf Professional 1924-1960

It was a year ago today that George Floyd was murdered. His death became the catalyst for the largest civil rights movement in history. But what we wish is that he was still here with us today. That he could see his daughter grow. That he could be with his family. That Black death was no longer sport in this country. What we wish for is Black life, uninterrupted by white supremacy. We will continue to fight for you George. Your life mattered. Black Lives Matter. “Say His Name” George Floyd
