From The Editors September 15th, 2020

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, we have news on the ID Camps being held by British Columbia Golf for the next Canada Summer Games.

Brad Ziemer has a preview on the final British Columbia Golf Championship of the season, the BC Senior Men's, along with features on Vancouver Golf Club's new director of golf, how BC golf clubs are gearing up for a busier than normal 'off-season' and of course the latest edition of Ziemer's BC Golf Notes.

You'll also find some very interesting stories on the first 'disabled' golfer to take part in a European Tour event, an open letter to 'new golfers' and on how parents should be more focused on just letting their kids 'play.'

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
