“After 20 years and over 80 editions, how does Golf Business Canada Magazine always continue to inform and educate NGCOA Canada members with current information? It’s incredible! The magazine is the best golf publication for owners/operators and I share every edition with my management team.

Definitely, one the many success stories of the NGCOA Canada. Thank you!
