A Life Well Played
On August 29th, 2011 golf lost an ally and a friend. And GolfScene suffered the loss of its founder and publisher Norm Woods. It was unquestionably our darkest hour. Norm’s impact on the game of golf within the region was immensely positive. Something never more evident then in the outpouring of gratitude in response to his passing. The list of those he took the time to help along the way is long. The impact, indelible. A tireless supporter... [ Read Full Article ]

Taking it to the Street
- the new wave of style in golf shoes is getting its inspiration from the concrete - There is little doubt that urban culture continues to be a major catalyst when it comes to main stream fashion design – many of those new styles and trends just don’t always seem to make it all-the-way-up to the Country Club. We’ve never known anyone to wish they could wear their golf shoes around town – but for those who once thought it might... [ Read Full Article ]
Summer Magazine is Spinning
We thought we’d be clever and get the wheels turning on a little advanced promotion – while supporting a worthwhile cause, ‘entrepreneurial student spirit.’ That’s right the summer magazine will be at the golf courses shortly NOW. And if you’ve already looked at the the picture, you’re probably wondering what we were wondering – it seems our hard pedaling student was nowhere to be found. So guess... [ Read Full Article ]
Are You A Range Player?
I am. This spring while I was out on the fairways of Augusta National watching Justin Rose play in the Masters, a thought crept into my head – a question directed to myself. If I were a junior golfer again, what would I do differently in order to ensure that I got the most from my potential. All of the research I have read in the last 15 years has me answering the question this way … I would have spent much more time playing the game than... [ Read Full Article ]
Spring Magazine is rolling …
The Spring 2011 magazine is inked, cut, folded, bound, and ‘determined’ to get to the course, ranges, retailers in south central Ontario any day now. Which of course depends when you’re reading this, but that’s why there is a time-stamp. The issue is 68 pages in total – our largest to date – which we think is pretty impressive in these economic climates – but is really a testament to our advertisers and... [ Read Full Article ]

2010 Reader Survey
As we reluctantly wind down the 2010 golf season, it’s nice to take a quick look back at things and assess what worked and what did not. It’s also time to survey the readership and, hopefully, with their input make some apropos changes to the publication(s) for the future – and the ‘now’ – as the eNews never sleeps. So we’ve compiled a few quick questions which will help us to better serve you, our valued... [ Read Full Article ]
Chasing Ashley
When did you begin playing golf and what / who was instrumental in getting you stared? My Dad got me started in golf. He used to play all of the time and being a ‘Daddy’s Girl’ I always wanted to go with him. However, he didn’t think I had the patience for it so he told me that kids weren’t allowed to play until they were 14. He started taking me to the range when I was 12, but I didn’t really start playing until... [ Read Full Article ]

Case in colourful point is a grand image of an even greater Muskoka golf course. www.clublink.ca AKPC_IDS += "7619,"; Read More →
Notebook : Adam Hadwin
Abbotsford, BC’s Adam Hadwin may have been a rookie on the Canadian Tour but being Top 5 in the ‘Order of Merit’ meant an exemption into the Canadian Open which translated into a 68,66,70, and 71 (-5) at St George’s – good enough for a share of 37th place, $19,890 and the Rivermead Cup as low Canadian. When Canadian Adam Hadwin teed it up on Thursday of the Canadian Open there was barely a sound – our guess is... [ Read Full Article ]
