From The Editors October 12th, 2022

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you can read about the five young women from BC who are representing Canada on both of our country's teams at the World Junior Girls Championship which starts with round one of team and individual play today at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario.

We also have news on how you can register to become a volunteer at the 2023 CP Women's Open which is being held next August at Vancouver's venerable Shaughnessy G&CC.

Check out Brad Ziemer's story on former UBC Women's golf star Kat Kennedy and her new role as an assistant coach at Simon Fraser University. Brad also looks at the amazing summer of Mission's Kevin Stinson, who, aside from accumulating eye-popping 'frequent flyer' points around the globe, also accumulated some very impressive results.

All that and much more are in this month's BC Golf Province-wide newsletter.
