Brand Fusion Invitational at Leatherhead Golf Club – Powered by ParUp Golf
On Tuesday 3rd September, Leatherhead Golf Club played host to the Brand Fusion Invitational — a day of golf, competition, and camaraderie that brought together celebrities, golf influencers, and professional golfers, all scored live through the ParUp Golf app.
A Warm Welcome to Start the Day
Players were greeted in true golf society style with coffee and bacon rolls at the clubhouse before heading out onto the picturesque and challenging 18-hole course. With teams of four, the format was Stableford, best two scores to count — creating the perfect balance of competitive edge and friendly banter.
Big Names, Bigger Moments
- Celebrities such as Danny Walters from EastEnders and darts legend Keith Deller, former world champion.
- Golf influencers including Ricci Mandal, David Templer, Russ Chrystie, Kate (golfwithkate), Sophie Ruston, Ryan Brooker, Stacie Bourke, Sophie Madsen, Katie Power, and more.
- A host of talented golfers and content creators, making for a truly community-driven competition.
The energy on the fairways matched the calibre of the guest list — a showcase of how golf helps to bring people together across sport, media, and lifestyle.
The Competition: Live Scoring with ParUp
Thanks to ParUp Golf’s live leaderboard, players and spectators could follow the action hole by hole. No more lost scorecards or end-of-day maths — every shot counted instantly, keeping the drama alive right to the 18th green.
In the end, the winning team of Nick Addecott, Sophie Ruston, Amber Golfs, and Megan Waters posted a fantastic score of 95 points, sealing their place at the top of the leaderboard.
Russ Chrystie was awarded the strong arm on the ParUp Leaderboard by winning the Longest Drive competition and Eastender’s Danny Walters got the flag next to his name for winning Nearest the Pin!
Beyond the Golf: Darts & Dinner
After the golf, the fun continued with a special challenge — the chance to take on darts icon, and all round good guy, Keith Deller in a one-on-one game. The mix of golf and darts added a unique twist to the day, proving competition isn’t just for the fairways.
The evening wrapped up with dinner in the clubhouse, where prizes were awarded by Brand Fusion founder Nigel Freemantle. From golf to darts to dinner, it was a celebration of sport, friendship, and community spirit.
