Dondor was a member of his high school golf team and had always felt welcome playing at various golf clubs, even though most other players were white. When his team traveled to compete at the Country Club of Caldwell's Church, their coach informed them that the club only allowed white players. The coach left it up to the senior players, including Dondor, to decide whether the team should leave and forfeit the competition or stay and prevent Dondor from playing due to his race. Dondor's childhood memories were stirred as he listened to his coach describe the discriminatory policy of the club.

St. Fredericks golf team and have played in many Louisianas golf clubs, where most of all players are white ones, I have always felt in. The public stopped even waiters and them assistants, to listen the story. But listening to my consciousness slowly turned up some childhoods experience which, it turns out all my life had remained into my heart and now wanted to get out. Our team left from Monroe to competition Dondr continued, When we arrived in Country club of Caldwells church in Columbia, we went to golf course. Dondr and his teammates were too absorbed to explore the area that they did not notice that someone was talking with St. Fredericks head of sport department James Murphy. After both of them went inside the Club house, Murphy came back to players. I want to talk with seniors he said, with both pairs! His face looked really tense when four students include Dondor came in a half circle around him. I dont know how to tell you this he said but Country club of Caldwells church admits only the whites ones Murphy paused and looked to Dondor. His teammates were looking around misunderstanding. I would like if you, seniors decide by yourself how to answer to this situation Murphy continued, If we leave than we lose this champion, if we stay Dondor cant participate While I was listening, my 32 years old childhoods emotional experience got into specific shapes.
