Julius Thaxter Arterberry, PGA, on the tee at Sequoyah Country Club with 3-wood in hand.
The image captures a simple moment on the course, but the professional story behind it carries far more weight.
Julius was featured on the cover of African American Golfer’s Digest, Fall/Winter 2024, Volume 21, No. 4, following his achievement of PGA Class-A Professional status.
At the time, the publication noted that Black males represented less than one-half of one percent of active PGA Professionals nationwide.
His path also reflects a Sacramento golf lineage shaped by mentorship. Julius was mentored by Willie Toney, PGA, who holds the same PGA Class-A designation. Willie, in turn, was mentored by veteran PGA Professional Clyde Daniels, who achieved the designation before him.
From the tee at Sequoyah to the cover of a national golf publication, Julius Arterberry continues building his own name within the profession.
