The article discusses the efforts of three friends—Axel Gaona, Joe Guerrero, and Fabian Morales—who co-founded a brand called Mexa Golf to promote inclusivity and representation of the Hispanic community in golf. Although they only started playing golf a few years ago, their goal is to inspire others in their community to engage with the sport.
Key points include:
-
Community Engagement: The founders aim to foster a welcoming environment on golf courses throughout the year, moving beyond typical limited-edition campaigns tied to celebrations.
-
Breaking Stereotypes: Guerrero notes that golf has often been viewed as a sport for the wealthy, but they believe that affordability is increasing access, especially in Fort Worth.
-
Cultural Unity: The trio emphasizes the importance of community and culture, aiming to bring more Hispanic individuals into golf while fostering a sense of belonging.
-
Inspiration and Outreach: They’ve inspired friends and family to explore golf, and they want to connect with a younger demographic to ensure future generations feel represented in the sport.
-
Mission of Inclusivity: Mexa Golf’s mission is to create spaces in golf courses for the Hispanic community while respecting the game’s traditions.
This initiative reflects a broader movement to diversify golf, making it more accessible and inclusive for underserved communities.
