Learn to Golf	Volunteer	Workshops	Ratings & Handicaps

From The Editors January 27th, 2021

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you'll find links to some very entertaining and informative seminars being put on by BC Golf in the early part of 2021. The Education Summit, themed "Elevate To The Next Level" - features some of the most accomplished and well known golf teachers/educators in the country along with words of wisdom from BC's PGA TOUR stars Adam Hadwin & Nick Taylor.

For those who are intrigued by the Rules of Golf, British Columbia Golf is hosting two online seminars on the subject starting in February as well as more opportunities to learn about the World Handicapping System, which still has a lot of golfers asking questions about calculating their handicap under the new world system.

Along with the latest edition of Brad Ziemer's BC Golf Notes, he also has a great story on the newest owners of the Bootleg Gap GC in Kimberley, as GM Trevor Simkins and his family are the new caretakers of this terrific BC Interior layout.

Enjoy and please stay safe.
