Learn to Golf Volunteer Workshops Ratings & Handicaps
 

From The Editors September 24th, 2019

In this issue of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, we have two great local golf and travel pieces to offer along with one that takes you a little further afield.

Brad Ziemer has an article on craft beer, caves, cuisine and of course - golf, from a recent Parksville & Qualicum Beach Mid-Island adventure. There's a Fall Golf Kelowna getaway that is sure to appeal to many and if planning ahead for a world-class river cruise peaks your interest be sure to check out the opportunity to take a cruise down the Danube in the Fall of 2020, experiencing first rate culture while playing golf at some of Europe's most famed courses en route.

Meanwhile, the SFU golf program is off to a roaring start with both the men & women having team and individual success in a couple of historic performances to kick off their respective seasons.

The call from Golf Canada and the Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club to anyone interested in volunteering at next Fall's CP Canadian Women's Open being held at the venerable golf club in Vancouver from August 31st - September 6th, 2020 is continuing. Follow the links in the article to register. 

Also, the registration deadline for the upcoming Performance Camp for young men at Westwood Plateau GC is September 30th, so for anyone who might want to take part we have the information on that. 

And As always, if you have any thoughts or suggestions on topics you'd like to see appear going forward in your newsletter please send a message via the "Contact Us" button located on the top right of the BC Golf website home page.
