The Hall of Fame Award was established in 2010 and renamed “The Storyland” Hall of Fame in 2023 in honor of one of our founding partners, Ken Story, and represents the highest recognition of service and impact within Century Golf.
The award reflects both Ken’s influence and the storytelling culture that defines our company’s journey, and the importance of telling the right Story in our Clubs – our “Why” with Clarity, Discipline and Consistency.
