At The Turn: U.S. golf gear website GlobalGolf.com sets up shop in Canada
OTTAWA — When it comes to winning over Canadian golfers, it helps to know someone.
Ed Byman has that covered.
Try this on for bona fides: Byman — a former PGA Tour player and veteran of the Canadian Tour, now known as PGA Tour Canada, and champion of the 1975 Manitoba Open — once spent several months travelling the country with another journeyman pro: the legendary Moe Norman.
“What an unbelievable experience, watching this guy every day hit balls. You’ve heard all the stories, but my God, when you’re seeing it every day it’s like, ‘Can it really be done this well?’” Byman recalled.
