Description: In the spring of 1967, a group of young men decided to take up the game of golf for the purposes of learning the game and socializing as a group. A majority of the members in the early years were from East Nashville, but this soon changed as the membership began to grow.In 1971, a group of thirteen golfers adopted the name “Friends Invitation Golf League” and formalized its competition to extend that a league championship would be awarded each year at a league banquet. Sometimes later, the group adopted the more descriptive name “Duffers”.In 1987, the Duffers applied for and received a charter as a non-profit organization under the “The Nashville Duffers Golf League, Inc.” Also, during that year, member James Coleman presented to the league the idea of becoming involved in the fight against the sickle cell disease. He proposed that we sponsor a golf tournament whose proceeds would be used to help in that fight. The proposal was quickly accepted and the first annual Duffers Sickle Cell Golf Tournament was held two years later in 1989. Since then, the tournament has been held each year during the Memorial Day Weekend.As of 2023, the Nashville Duffers have donated $211,000 to the Meharry Sickle Cell Center. https://www.nashvilleduffers.com/ All proceeds from the sale of this shirt will go to the Meharry Sickle Cell Center.
