Golf Town recently hosted an innovative event known as the 400some at The Club at Bond Head. The occasion saw 400 golfers simultaneously playing a single hole. The event set a world record.
Golf Town's 400some was designed to challenge the exclusivity often associated with golf and to promote inclusivity and accessibility within the sport. Golfers of varying backgrounds and skill levels participated, many of whom were newcomers. Partnering with Random Golf Club — a community dedicated to fostering inclusivity in golf, and featuring Golf Town ambassadors, the 400some event was both a spectacle and a celebration of community. Participants included representatives from organizations such as ParaGolf Canada and Black Women Golfers, as well.
This wholesome initiative aligns with the growing demand for more inclusive, welcoming experiences in recreational activities.
