Golf, written for players in Canada
Panxis Golf covers the game as it is played here: five months of season, soft ground in May and firm ground in August, poa greens that change through the afternoon, and a winter spent in a simulator or somewhere warmer. Equipment is judged on whether it changes a score, and the retailers and fitters we name are ones you can walk into. Distances are in yards, prices in Canadian dollars. Nothing is a paid placement, no product is written up as though we had tested it, and every photograph is licensed and credited.
