On this week’s episode of Stop Look and Listen, host LeTroy Gardner sits down with Christopher Everett, the author of “Go For It” and founder of R-L-E Impel Productions and the Go Fore It! Foundation. Christopher’s mission is to challenge stereotypes and invite diverse youths to discover the joys of golf, and his engaging book is making waves in the literary world. Additionally, his foundation is actively changing the lives of young people through unconventional opportunities.
During the conversation, Christopher and LeTroy explore the incredible potential of golf to impact the lives of diverse youths. They discuss how golf can teach discipline, perseverance, and goal-setting, and how it can be an outlet for young people to find joy and peace in nature. The two also delve into the importance of diversity and inclusion in the game of golf, breaking the stereotype that it’s only for the rich and elite.
Listeners will learn about resources to support Christopher’s mission, including purchasing his book at Kindred Thoughts Bookstore in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the Black Book Reserve in Lansdown, Pennsylvania, and finding it at the Charlotte Mecklenburg libraries. They can also support the R-L-E Impel Productions and the Go For It Foundation by joining or donating to their cause, attending the golf weekend at Martin Downs Golf Club in Palm City, Florida, beginning on May 5th, and applying for the foundation’s scholarships and participating in their essay writing competition.
Listeners will also learn about ways to support other organizations introducing more youth to golf, such as the Boys and Girls Club of Martin and St. Lucie County and the First Tee of the Treasure Coast. Finally, Christopher and LeTroy encourage listeners to visit and play at the Martin Downs Golf Club, a black-owned golf course committed to diversity in the game.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in using golf to make a positive impact on young people’s lives and promoting diversity and inclusion in the game.
