From The Editors July 13th, 2021

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you can see the latest version of Brad Ziemer's BC Golf notes which includes a look at the upcoming B.C. Amateur starting today at Storey Creek GC in Campbell River along with several other interesting stories

Brad also has reports on the BC Junior Boys and Girls champions as well as the qualifiers from our province for the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women's Amateur. Sadly one other report from Brad concerns the recent passing of BC Golf Hall of Fame member and former B.C. Amateur champion, Steve Berry.

In addition, we would like to bring your attention to the Provincial Junior Skills competition where there are still spots available for the event at Northview G&CC later this month.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
