Mark Wagner (GRS’91) of Dudley, Mass., published Native Links: The Surprising History of Our First People in Golf (Back Nine Press, 2024), the first comprehensive history of Native Americans in the game of golf. “Through Orville Moody’s (Choctaw) triumph in the 69th US Open to a new generation of players that includes Notah Begay lll (Navajo) and Gabby Lemieux (Shoshone Paiute), Native Links makes the engaging case that you cannot tell the story of golf in this country without including our First People,” he says.
