EDITOR'SDESK In si de Th i s Issue Golf is no different than other sports in its continual efforts to keep the game healthy and thriving for each generation. In order to do that it remains imperative to introduce the game to youngsters and give them opportunities to learn how to play and enjoy the pastime. To that end our cover story offers a terrific insight into the passion and generosity shown by the Bayview Place development group run by Patricia and Kenneth W. Mariash Sr. and how they?ve taken their support for golf in the Victoria area to a new level. Already the sponsors of the Mackenzie Tour - PGA Tour
Canada Bayview Place Victoria Open, the Mariash?s have stepped up to lend a huge helping hand for the development of junior golf in the capital city region. Read about that here. We also have some very interesting articles that look at the findings of the R&A and USGA?s annual research on driving distance in golf (click here), a fascinating new ?intelligent?golf ball unveiled at the PGA Show in Orlando (click here), and the importance of being properly fitted for clubs including the too often overlooked but critical element, the club shaft (click here). All that and plenty more, including some very amusing and entertaining videos along with news on BC?s best players both in the amateur and professional ranks, can be found in this month?s edition of The Scorecard.
