The 100 Black Men is a national organization founded in New York City over 20 years ago. It has over 100 chapters globally. The idea was to create a group of African American men who intended to make a difference in the lives of kids. Our chapter, The 100 Black Men of Stamford, Inc., was founded in 1993, as a non-profit community action organization comprised of successful men committed to improving the educational and economic conditions for African Americans and others in need, with a particular focus on the development of youth. We are an affiliate of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. As our world continues to change, nurturing young people is the best way to ensure the success of our collective future. Guiding today’s youth in becoming well-educated prepared adults is a moral imperative and practical benefit to our whole society.

Scholarships Since 2002, 100 BMOS has awarded 75 scholarships totaling $200,000 to talented high school seniors entering their first year of postsecondary studies. These students hail from public and private high schools based in lower Fairfield County. Recipients have successfully matriculated into prominent colleges and universities such as Hampton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Spelman College, Syracuse University, Temple University, and the University of Connecticut.
Mentorship We aim to guide youth in life experiences that help them to develop a positive concept and self-image. The pursuit of lifelong goals, healthy personal relationships, and excellence in education are our precepts.

Health & Wellness We offer programs to raise awareness of health concerns affecting African American men, their families, and communities. We identify partnerships that help reduce health disparities in the African American community. Our activities promote exersize and physical well-being.

Limiting the height of the follow-through will effectively reduce the height of your shots. The lower the hands, the lower the ball flight. Moving the ball back in your stance or choosing a stronger club and trying to swing easy are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but they’re less reliable and more difficult to execute. Instead, keep your hands low in the finish, and the trajectory of your shots will be lower.
Make sure you’re on-plane at the top of the swing to guarantee solid ball striking and increased accuracy. Notice in the photo at left how my right forearm is parallel to my spine, my left wrist is flat and my elbows and arms form a tight triangle. These are indications that I’ve rotated my shoulders into the backswing perfectly.
Every good golfer knows that power comes from the body, not the arms. To learn to power the club with your body instead of your arms and hands, put the club behind the ball at address, with your body in a dead-stop position. Without taking a backswing, try to drag the ball into the air. If you’re a player who uses his or her hands to control the club, you’ll probably struggle at first. However, you’ll quickly find that once you start moving the club with your body, you’ll be-gin to get the ball in the air more consistently. This helps you turn fully through the ball on the downswing.
An open face at the point of contact can cause a slice. So, too, can a faulty swing path, even if your clubface is square to the target at impact. Slicers’ swing paths tend to come too much outside in (hookers, vice versa). All golfers need a path that comes just slightly from the inside. Try the Box Drill. Take the top half of a golf ball box and stand it on its side. Align the box parallel to your target line as shown. Strive to groove a path that allows the shaft to pass just over the box. For slicers, set up the box on the same line, but just forward of the golf ball. Don’t hit the box!
