The star-studded event at Sherwood Country Club brought together celebrities, musicians and athletes for a day of golf and live music supporting young artists.<\/p>\n

Against the scenic backdrop of Sherwood Country Club, the inaugural Golf Jam \u201926 brought together celebrities, musicians and media personalities in support of the Chad Smith Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Founded by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, the foundation helps underserved young musicians gain access to instruments, music education, mentorship and scholarships. Its programs aim to remove the financial and logistical barriers that can prevent aspiring artists from developing their talents and pursuing opportunities in music.<\/p>\n

The day began with breakfast on the country club patio, where guests gathered for photos and interviews before heading out to the course. Among those in attendance were Smith, Will Ferrell, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, Anthony Anderson, Kevin Connolly, Breckin Meyer, Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Andrew Watt, singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence, Robby Krieger of The Doors and Mike Inez of Alice in Chains.<\/p>\n

The lineup also included NBA legend Derek Fisher, actor and rapper Travis Bennett, also known as Yung Taco, golf personality Blake Webber, actor Darren Weiss, artist Jonas Wood, Tassilo von F\u00fcrstenberg, fashion designer Jon Buscemi, Los Angeles Magazine President and Publisher Christopher Gialanella, sports host Madison Brodsky and event producer Zev Norotsky, whose experiential agency, ENTER, produced the event. Chad Smith Foundation Executive Director Lewis Smith was also on hand.<\/p>\n
