Tuesday, May 29th marks the inaugural National Golf Day and we are celebrating by partnering with TaylorMade to offer you a FREE four-ball pack of the new Project (a) golf ball! All you need to do is show us your passion for the game by bringing in a recent scorecard to any Golf Town location. No purchase necessary, available while supplies last. Limit one per customer.
National Golf Day is a time to celebrate the game that means so much to our country and raise awareness for how strong our sport truly is. Did you know…there are close to six million golfers across Canada, enjoying 60-million rounds, at more than 2,300 golf courses and practice ranges? It may surprise you, but golf is by far the number one recreational activity in Canada– even more popular than our beloved sport of hockey!
“More Canadians play golf than any other participation sport and our industry is number one in driving economic impact, employment and charity fundraising,” said Jeff Calderwood, National Allied Golf Associations and chair of We Are Golf. “Combined with golf’s diversity, healthy fitness benefits and environmental stewardship, we really do have such a positive message to communicate.”
Our passion to get out and play is impressive and the economic impact golf provides our country is equally impressive– contributing $14.3-billion to the Canadian economy, which is more than 1 per cent of the country’s total gross domestic product. The golf industry also employs over 300,000 Canadians, including a substantial number of youth that will continue to grow this game stronger for years to come.
Canadians on Tour
Canadians are taking the professional golf tours by storm. Two of the country’s players—Golf Town athlete Brooke Henderson along with Adam Hadwin—have elevated their games to become among the best in the world. There are also other notable Canadians having a lot of success—from David Hearn, Graham DeLaet, and Alena Sharp (who teamed with Brooke Henderson) representing Canada at the 2016 Olympics, and PGA wins by the likes of Mackenzie Hughes and Nick Taylor.
It’s safe to say, we live in a country that loves golf, and at Golf Town, we’re proud to be a part of helping this game grow for year’s to come. Every day is an opportunity to celebrate the game of golf, but May 29th marks a special occasion to bring awareness to the game we love. We look forward to seeing you on the course, and in our stores!

Can I mail in a scorecard as our Golf Town had closed !!
Are app scorecards acceptable to show?
Absolutely!
Went to my local Golf Town at 1:00 today to purchase some new golf gloves and they were out of the golf balls already. You would think that given it was National Golf Day in Canada, the largest golf retailer in the market would have enough stock to satisfy all its Leaderboard members.
So I showed up at Golf Town Whitby around 1pm yesterday with my recent scorecard to show my “passion for the game”.
The gentleman at the “customer service” desk claimed to be unaware of the promotion and directed me to the young lady on cash. She was also unsure of the promotion and directed me to the “pro shop” area. After talking to a couple of gentleman there one of them was “somewhat” aware of the promotion but questioned whether my scorecard was “recent”. REALLY?? After convincing him it was recent he insisted that I sign the card and include a phone number. I was then then directed to another employee who reluctantly went to a back room where the balls were safely locked away. It was almost like they were trying make me feel guilty for taking advantage of the free promotion.
If you are going to put a promotion on your web site shouldn’t employees be aware of said promotion? I got the feeling that the employees were hoping that no one would take advantage of the promotion and perhaps they could keep the balls for themselves.
Yep just like we figured they just ran out
