Suffering first and foremost from a lack of distance. Secondly, from a lack of good putting. But, in my case, it’s a matter of first things first. It’s not like I formerly hit the ball far.

That’s the mantra of Blackout Golf, located in Ontario, and they’re proud to not only represent our country in the sport but also help golfers offset the ever-increasing costs of the game.
