This chapter highlights Judge William Benson Bryant's leisure life and deep family connections, beginning with his involvement in the DC Pro-Duffers, a Black men's golf club he joined in the late 1960s. It traces the club's origins back to 1954 during segregation, with Langston Golf Course as its main venue until desegregation expanded access. Bryant, though not a top golfer, took practice seriously, often working on his short game between court duties and enjoying lively rounds with friends filled with bets, jokes, and camaraderie. The chapter explores Bryant's role in the Brookland Literary and Hunting Club, a poker group that blended fun with civil rights dialogue. It then shifts to family, showing Bryant and wife's shared love for quiet routines, and the couple's strength during her stroke in 1991, when Bryant became her unwavering caregiver, supported by Sonia Avalos and the extended family.
