FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOLF COMMUNITY MAGAZINE IS FIRST OF ITS KIND

OAKVILLE, Ontario (September 3, 2003) - Perspective Marketing has successfully produced the first privately published magazine centred around the Bell Canadian Open. Perspective printed 50,000 copies of its premier, annual Canadian Golf Community Magazine for distribution Thursday, September 4 through Hamilton copies of The Globe and Mail, hotels throughout the city, as well as Golf Town’s Ancaster location. The magazines are being released on the opening day of this year’s Bell Canadian Open, held September 1 to 7 at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

Each year, this souvenir magazine will follow the Canadian Open to golf clubs across Canada and feature community profiles for the various towns and cities where the Open is held. Next year, the championship will return to the Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville for its 100th anniversary.

This inaugural issue features historical stories on golf in Canada, the Canadian Open and Hamilton Golf & Country Club, as well as stories on current trends such as the recent increase in women’s golf and golf management courses at educational institutions across Ontario. The magazine’s community profile section covers Hamilton’s education, real estate, healthcare and tourism among other sectors.

“The Bell Canadian Open is a national event of international renown,” says Steve Montague, managing partner of Perspective Marketing. “It represents an ideal opportunity to showcase the community of Hamilton. Our goal is to give the city’s residents a keepsake and demonstrate to those traveling here that Hamilton is a world-class community.”

A limited number of 25 copies are available to media outlets wishing to give away free copies of the magazine to callers who successfully answer the trivia questions found on page 31.
