Episode Details

It's Tourism Week in Canada so we thought we would delve into the topic when it come to golf, specifically.

After some news on course openings, volunteer awards, and upcoming celebrity appearances in the region, we jump into discussion about golf tourism across the country. That includes sharing the current economic impact (in the billions) and discussing what some regions are doing well already to attract golf tourists, and the potential for its growth.

We share some thoughts on what could be driving more golf toursim, and how mainstream attention needs to extend beyond the "marquee" golf facilities that people have come to know through extensive media mentions.

To emphasize and explore the topic we are joined by Adam Chamberlain and Chad Townsend of the Gowan Brae Golf Club in Bathurst, New Brunswick for a discussion about golf in their province and what it offers.
