Cumberland Rising is the extraordinary story of Ted Rhodes Golf Course in Nashville, Tenn., told
through the eyes of Rickey Hampton, an award-winning sports columnist.
Ted Rhodes Golf Course opened in 1954 as Cumberland Golf Course for 'Negroes' under the
supposedly 'separate but equal' laws of the day. Of course, there was nothing equal about the
new Cumberland Golf Course. The course was only nine holes and was built in a floodplain
along the Cumberland River. The slightest rainfall would cause the course to flood. If that wasn't
bad enough, the course was located next to the city dump.
Hampton's father, Joe Hampton, a former caddy alongside Ted Rhodes, was named the pro at
the segregated course. Joe Hampton's dogged determination transformed what was essentially
a pile of mud into one of golf's iconic courses and a mainstay in Nashville's Black Community.
In 1969, the course was renamed Ted Rhodes Golf Course in honor of Rhodes, the trailblazing
African American golfer and Black golf's first superstar.
Rickey Hampton was there, at his father's side, to witness every moment of the
Cumberland/Rhodes legacy. He shagged golf balls for Ted Rhodes and shadow-boxed with Louis, the
heavyweight boxing legend and Rhodes' friend. Rickey Hampton shares all the
stories, the money matches, the great players, and the legacies of the men and women who
made Ted Rhodes Golf Course Black Golf's Mecca.
