CALVIN PEETe GOLF CELEBRATION

The NAACP Calvin Peete Golf Celebration is a special HBCU Collegiate Golf Tournament and Experience celebrating and honoring the legacy of professional golfing legend, Calvin Peete.


Calvin Peete, a paragon of excellence in golf and kindness, became the focal point of a profound collaboration that my team was privileged to document. The opportunity, facilitated by PGD Global, brought together The Calvin Peete Foundation, the prestigious NAACP, HBCU golf head coaches, and notable celebrities and public figures.

As we prepared to capture this chapter of Peete's legacy, there was a palpable sense of honor and humility within our team. The Calvin Peete Foundation's involvement added a meaningful layer to our project, aligning with Peete's values of education and community service. It wasn't merely about documenting a golf legend; it was contributing to the preservation of a legacy grounded in purpose.

The participation of the NAACP and HBCU head coaches infused the event with broader cultural significance. Beyond celebrating golf, it became a recognition of African American excellence and the profound impact of individuals like Calvin Peete.

On the day of the event, the greens bore witness to a celebration that transcended sports—an ode to excellence, unity, and philanthropy. Notable celebrities and public figures joined the gathering, emphasizing the societal importance of honoring Calvin Peete. The atmosphere exuded admiration for a man whose journey had become a symbol of inspiration.

The images captured weren't just photographs; they were visual testimonials to the convergence of excellence, philanthropy, and cultural impact.
