NEW YORK, April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hypebeast Limited (HKSE: 00150, “Hypebeast” or the “Company), a leading global platform for contemporary culture and lifestyle, re-imagined golf culture with a fresh take by bringing its first-ever Hypegolf Invitational presented by Callaway in Korea on April 24 at the prestigious Ildong Lake GC, Pocheon. From artists, creatives, musicians, to professionals, golfers of all experience levels came together to enjoy the full-day event that blended style, interactive installations, friendly matches, DJ performances and culinary experiences. From the iconic views of Ildong Lake to the experiential activations on the course, Hypegolf Invitational presented by Callaway energized and connected the Hypegolf community in Korea to embrace a forward-thinking interpretation of the sport.
The event kicked-off with Callaway’s driving range experience for players to warm up before their rounds and test out its latest equipment. Along the breathtaking 18 holes at Ildong Lake GC was an impressive lineup of installations from top brands, including high performance luxury SUV displays, hands-on demos of electric bicycles, first-hand experiences of the latest model of golf simulator and more. Friendly matches, such as the longest drive, closest to pin and hole in one contest spurred a competitive and fun atmosphere catered to players of every skill level.
Music, style and food played a vital role in the event, as non-golfers were also invited to partake in the festivities. AOMG’s DJ Collective AOMIX, the leading Hip-hop and R&B record label in Korea, curated a lineup of DJs, which included headliners such as Spray and DJ co.kr, to spin at the event. Golfers were incentivised to bring their styles on the greens with a special prize awarded for the best dressed player.
