Summary:	Golfer Renee Powell was one of only three African American women to ever play on the Ladies Professional Golf Association's (LPGA) Tour. Her father, William Powell, was the owner of the Clearview Golf Course in Canton, Ohio, the first such facility designed, constructed, owned and operated by an African American. Powell began competing as a golfer at age twelve, attending Ohio University and Ohio State University, where she continued to perfect her game. She made her professional debut on the LPGA Tour in 1967 and continued with the Tour until 1980. When she finished competing, she taught golf in Africa and Europe before returning to Canton where she served as the head professional golfer at Clearview, as listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Powell family established the Clearview Legacy Foundation for education, preservation and turf grass research. In 2003, Powell received the First Lady of Golf Award from the Professional Golfers' Association.
