Submission declined on 22 October 2024 by Jamiebuba (talk).This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Gordon Brown Sr., born on May 5, 1936, in Charleston, South Carolina, is a golfer and a civil rights activist. He began playing golf at the age of ten and became involved in a legal battle for access to Charleston Municipal Golf Course, which had discriminatory policies against people of color. This effort contributed to the desegregation of the course, a milestone recognized by the NAACP Charleston Chapter in 1995.

After serving in the U.S. Army, where he played on the military golf team, Brown moved to San Diego, establishing himself as a leading amateur golfer. He won multiple championships, including three consecutive San Diego Industrial Golf Championships, and retired to the Silver Cup, a prestigious award in local golf circles.

In 1970, Brown founded the Southeast Junior Golf program, aiming to introduce local youth to the game and impart essential life skills. This initiative evolved into the San Diego Inner City Junior Golf Foundation and Academy in 1996, which continues to offer free golf lessons and support to children in the community. His contributions have impacted local golf, fostering leadership and personal growth among participants.

In recognition of his work, Brown was named an Honorary Life Member of the PGA Southern California San Diego Chapter.
