Samuel L. Jackson signed on to narrate golf film

Washington, Feb 10 (ANI): Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson has been roped in to narrate a documentary about famous African-Americans golfers.

The new film titled Uneven Fairways will premiere on America's Golf Channel this week (11Feb09), reports Contactmusic.

The documentary is based on books Uneven Lies by Pete McDaniel and Forbidden Fairways by Calvin H. Sinnette, presenting an era when "honour and fair play took a backseat to segregation".

It will talk about the golfers who confronted prejudice and endured indignities for the right to play golf at its highest level - and paved the way for golfing greats like Tiger Woods, who appears in the documentary.

The 60-year-old star is also one of the celebrity world's top golfers. (ANI)
