Summary:Golf professional Julius Richardson was born on March 3, 1921. His interest in golf began when he came home to Blythedale, Pennsylvania, on leave from the 10th Calvary. Richardson quickly became an accomplished player, winning nearly forty titles. He retired, after twenty years in the Army, as a staff sergeant in 1960, teaching golf for his last five years. Richardson was unable to play professionally, because at that time, African Americans could only play in the Professional Golf Association if they had an apprenticeship. Richardson worked as an inspector and life insurance agent until he retired at age sixty-five and began teaching golf full-time. He received numerous awards for his work as a golf instructor, with Golf Magazine recognizing him as one of the top 100 golf teachers. In 2000, he was named U.S. Golf Teachers Federation's Teaching Professional of the 20th Century. Richardson passed away on September 26, 2007, at age 86.
