George Roddy once set the Finkbine course record, shooting a 72 with nine's of 31-41. Roddy rarely lost over several years of competition starting in 1929. Sadly he couldn't defeat racism. Banned from country clubs where most prominent tournaments were held because he was African American, George Roddy never got to compete for a Big Ten title. He won several in state university meets and all of his head to head duals. Growing up in Keokuk and unable to afford a bus ticket to campus his freshman year, Roddy walked to Iowa City. The amazing story of new Hawkeye Hall of Famer George Roddy is the subject matter for this week's Fight for Iowa, along with Field Hockey's Amy Fowler. Plus, Iowa football in search of a consistent offense, is preparing for cross state rival Iowa State with the Cy Hawk trophy at stake.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
