The Eastside Golf Story: Earl Cooper and Olajuwon Ajanaku

Earl and Olajuwon both started playing golf at six years old, met at Morehouse College (where they won a National Championship!) and went in opposite directions: Earl becoming a teaching pro at prestigious country clubs and Olajuwon trying his hand at joining the PGA Tour. Faced with no sponsors and no money, Olajuwon left the game and became a successful banker. Nine years later, still nagged by his lifelong love, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
