Follow live coverage of the 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome in Italy
Bobby Bonilla is chilling. The baseball legend is in a golf cart, playing his background role to perfection on this mid-August afternoon at Lake Merced Golf Club. To his left, his good friend Barry Bonds chats away with a sports writer from his playing days.
Bay Area weather is showing out — 70-something degrees, hot enough to feel like California, but cool enough to not be overwhelmed — as the sun makes its way toward the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. A few clouds give the blue sky some texture above the Cypress trees and manicured fairways. But Bonilla’s excited emphasis isn’t about the weather. Instead, the fantastical experience his son is enjoying.
Roman Solomon, 17, is in a putting showdown against Stephen Curry. “Extraordinary,” Bonilla says as he looks out on Curry’s Underrated Golf Tour, a summer tournament that showcases talented junior golfers and aims to give access and opportunities that might be unavailable to some of them in a traditionally exclusive sport.
“There’s not really enough words to even say it. This is just so enjoyable to see all this, these fresh young faces of color. We’re all about everybody, but we don’t really see this. What’s happening is extraordinary — and this is all because of Steph. We really can’t put into words what he’s doing.” The obvious question is blaring: Why is Curry doing this?
