The Rev. Renita Lamkin has taken part in the protests in Ferguson, Missouri
The mother of mixed-race children says she has experienced racism

Bob Lamkin is passionate about grips, and he thinks more golfers should be. It’s more likely that a player will replace an entire set of clubs before he gets around to replacing the grips.
