Steph Curry gives boost to HBCU golf program

Sam Puryear, Howard University golf coach, joins the show to talk about Steph Curry's generous gift that helps revive the HBCU's men's and women's golf programs after a 40-year break

With a generous donation from NBA star Steph Curry, Howard University's golf program is being revived after 40 years of dormancy. Sam Puryear, a 50-year-old Winston-Salem, N.C., native, is charged with building the men's and women's programs at the HBCU in the nation's capital.

With co-hosts Bo Van Pelt and Farrell Evans, Puryear shares his vision for the program and how golf can be an agent of change in the life of young people, a lesson he chronicles in his new book, Diamonds in the Rough, about his years at the East Lake Foundation in Atlanta.
