- Q14686386 abstract "For the park in Odessa, Florida (northwest of Tampa), see Lake Rogers ParkRogers Park is a historic 18-hole golf course in Tampa, Florida. Land for the park was acquired by the City of Tampa in 1947 and was used for picnics and games by black residents during the era of racial segregation in the United States. Construction of the course was led by Willie Black and began in 1948 on part of the Rogers Park complex. It was completed in 1952. Rogers Park was the only course available to Tampa's black residents.Located along the Hillsborough River, Rogers Park is spread across 160 acres. The park was created in 1952 by Tampa businessman and philanthropist Garfield Devoe Rogers (G. D. Rogers) for whom it is named. Tampa Mayor Curtis Hixon gave permission to a group of caddies from Palma Ceia Country Club to build a nine-hole golf course at the site and the first Head Golf Professional, Willie Black, worked with volunteers clear trees and landscape. In 1976 the City of Tampa turned over management rights to the then-newly formed Tampa Sports Authority and a $400,000 renovation project with an expansion and new irrigation system was implemented. In 2000 an additional renovation replaced the irrigation system, rebuilt the greens to USGA specifications, and reshaped parts of the course. In 2001 a maintenance favility was added and in 2002 a clubhouse was built.African-American golfers who played the course included Jimmy Taylor (golfer), Charles Owens, Ted Rhodes, Gordon Chavis, Charlie Sifford, Dick Thomas (golfer) and Cliff Harrington. In 1963 Taylor helped establish the Mid Winter Classic as part of the United Golfers Association, established in 1925 and commonly referred to as "The Chitlin Circuit". The competition is believed to have lasted until the late '70s or early '80s before being revived in 2010.".
