Apex: The Black Masters a film highlighting the the Apex Invitational
This past summer, it was the 50th Anniversary of the Apex Invitational Golf Tournament, founded in 1974 by a young black resident of Truro, Darrell Maxwell. Over the years, this event has grown into a type of homecoming, celebrating the black communities around Truro, and their contributions, and bringing families and friends together from all over.
Traditionally held the first weekend in August at the Truro Golf Club, the tournament sees 110+ players participate in the 2-day event. The Apex is one of the longest-running golf tournaments in Nova Scotia golf history.
On January 31, 2025, Apex: The Black Masters a film highlighting the the Apex Invitational and the story behind the golf tournament will air on CBC Gem.
“What began as a small meet-up for Black golfers in 1974 has grown into a powerful symbol of social justice and community pride. This annual homecoming not only celebrates African Nova Scotian heritage but also uplifts it while paving the way for future generations.”
