NO PESTICIDE BAN IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

  

The PGA of BC received positive news this week when the Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides posted its 118 report (May 17) concluding there is insufficient evidence to warrant a provincial wide ban on pesticides used for cosmetic purposes.  Click here for the full article from the WCTA website.

CONGRATULATIONS
 
The fifth leg of the 2012 toothguy.ca VIPT Summer Tour was played Tuesday, May 15th on the pristine greens of the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Club. The 25 players in the field were greeted by a great golf course with firm and lush conditions on an outstanding west coast day.  Axle Riley (Cordova Bay Golf Club) continues to play well, defeating Rob Cruise (Highland Pacific Golf) on the first playoff hole to earn top spot and $660; both players shot 66 in regulation (Cruise earned $480 for the runner-up finish). Edd Boudreau (Gorge Vale Golf Club)  was one shot back at 67 to earn third place ($360). In fourth place alone was Mac McLeod (Royal Colwood Golf Club) turning in a tidy 69 ($300).
