Where to Golf 2010
Due to successful expansion of “Where to Golf” in 2010, the BC, Alberta and Prairie Chapters are pleased to once again provide our members with the publication for 2011. The edition circulation includes Manitoba and Saskatchewan in addition to BC and Alberta and is called Where to Golf – Western Canada. Due to our in-house distribution at hotels, golf courses, golf shows across Canada and all Golf Town locations, 60,000 copies will be in circulation by early spring 2011.
Your participation in this initiative is greatly appreciated. The benefits to having this book in golfer’s hand due to our controlled distribution makes this a premier advertising tool for golf facilities in our region.
