It is also home to the Skyview Golf Tournament, a significant event established in the 1960s that showcases some of the nation\u2019s best Black golfers. Bonesteel knew he had stumbled upon a good story, but wasn\u2019t sure if he was the person to tell it. \u201cAs a white male who grew up with easy access to a golf course, I wasn\u2019t sure it was a story that I could or should tell,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I asked those guys and others that had lived the story how they felt about that, and they encouraged me to make the film. As a filmmaker, that was empowering.\u201d Bonesteel\u2019s documentary about the history of the golf course, <em>Muni<\/em>, was released in 2020 and was recently screened at the Tryon Film Festival.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47159\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47159\" class=\"wp-image-47159\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968-1024x627.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968-810x496.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Artists-Making-News-Bobby-Mays-Jimmy-Walker-Chink-Stewart-1968-1140x698.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bobby Mays, Jimmy Walker, Chink Stewart, 1968<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Matthew Bacoate, Jr., an advisor to the Skyview Golf Association who is featured in Muni, has been involved with the tournament since the inaugural event in 1960.
