Hall Thompsonとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Hall Thompson (May 28, 1923 – October 27, 2010) was an American businessman and developer from Birmingham, Alabama who established the Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club in 1977 as an invitation-only private golf club. Thompson courted controversy around the time of the 1990 PGA Championship, which was held at Shoal Creek, when it came to public attention that the club did not admit African American members, triggering a wave of protests. In the aftermath of Shoal Creek, the Professional Golfers Association of America, the PGA Tour and the United States Golf Association established regulations that require host clubs to have non-discriminatory membership policies.
