Giving back — it is part of our DNA at Golf Town. Sharing our love for the game goes beyond playing it. We’re also passionate about giving back by supporting communities across Canada and inviting them to come out and play. That’s why we are extremely proud to partner with Rogers Sports & Media on their recently launched inclusion and diversity program All IN to help introduce young professionals to the game of golf.
In the past 12 months, more Canadians than ever have taken to the sport and playing golf can open up many opportunities as it connects people in the business community. No matter what industry you work in, chances are your company or management are involved in the game in some fashion. By partnering with Jays Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays, we are helping break down barriers and grow the game of golf for young people.
On June 28, 15 young professional from the Sportsnet BIPOC mentorship and coaching workshop were invited to attend the 26th Annual Jays Care Golf Classic at RattleSnake Point Golf Club, just outside Toronto. We wanted to make sure they were properly equipped for the day and beyond so we were delighted to partner with Cobra PUMA golf to provide each young leader with a full set of Cobra golf clubs and outfitted them from head to toe in Puma gear.
“I had a really amazing day today and it was really well organized from start to finish”, said Madeleine Mungal, a Sport Management student at Brock University. I enjoyed the instruction, networking opportunities, social aspects and especially the incredible Golf Town goodies I was gifted. I am excited to use my new set of clubs and go out golfing now that I have instructions from a golf professional, new clubs and comfortable golf attire. I am really grateful that I had this opportunity, and am appreciative of everything I learned and enjoyed today.”
“I thought today’s experience at the Jays Care Foundation Golf Tournament was amazing!! From the start I was welcomed with open arms and hospitality”, said Anuj Bhasker who is currently studying Radio and Television Arts Sports Media at Ryerson University. “I also received a number of things including a great comfortable outfit that I wore while golfing that was provided by Golf Town, and a new set of golf clubs…Overall, this was an unbelievable experience and I was grateful to be a part of it”.
The tournament itself was simply amazing and we are inspired by the next generation of leaders in Canada. Your futures are bright and we’re extremely proud to help introduce you to the game we love. Connections on the course can last a lifetime.
