From The Editors May 20th, 2020

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, we welcome back Golf Hall of Fame writer, Brad Ziemer. Like much of the rest of the province, Brad is happy to be able to include golf in his activities these days and also happy to be writing about what the golf industry is facing as it moves ahead into 'the new normal' and beyond.

Brad has two pieces in this newsletter, one looks at how BC's golf courses have managed as they adapt to Provincial Health Organization (PHO) protocols for both staff and guests. The other takes a look at an oustanding program of online webinars put on by BC Golf aimed at junior golfers not only in British Columbia but across the country, with the final instalment in the series featuring 3 of Golf Canada's National Team coaches.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe,
