BOYD GROUP GOLFS FOR YOUTH CHARITY
The event brought together Boyd team members, industry partners and friends for a full day of golf, camaraderie, and fundraising in support of the Pinball Foundation. The charitable spirit was felt from the first teeoff, with groups laughing, cheering and, occasionally, groaning over mis-hit drives.
The tournament wasn’t about the lowest scores (although there were prizes for that) or the longest putts — it was about showing up, enjoying the game and making an impact. Des Browne, vice president sales and business development, captured the spirit of the day: “When we gather like this, it’s about more than golf. It’s about connecting as a team, celebrating our industry, and most importantly, supporting the incredible work that Pinball and his foundation are doing for youth across Canada.”
The fairways were filled with lighthearted banter, impromptu swing advice, and friendly rivalries. Between holes, players enjoyed the chance to reconnect with colleagues, swap industry insights, and talk shop in a relaxed, scenic setting.
“You couldn’t ask for a better day — great people, great golf, and all for a great cause. It’s a reminder that when our industry comes together, we can make a meaningful difference beyond the repair bays,” said Stephen Boyd, chief operating officer, Canada The Boyd Group.
As the last groups returned to the clubhouse, special guest Michael “Pinball” Clemons shared a few words of thanks and encouragement. His trademark energy and positivity provided the perfect closing note, reminding attendees why their support matters.
By the end of the day, the leaderboard hardly mattered. The real winners were the youth programs supported through the Pinball Foundation — and the participants who left Osprey Valley with new memories, fresh connections, and a reminder of the good this industry can do when it comes together.
