From The Editors October 8th, 2019

In this issue of British Columbia Golf's newsletter we have more local golf travel options for you featuring BC's interior and Vancouver Island. We also have a survey on the economic impact of golf in the marketplace that many will want to take part in as the results will go directly toward the industry making better informed decisions for the benefit of golfers.

There's an update on the Women In Golf Charter as organizations around the world continue to buy into this important initiative. We have the successful tournament results from more BC golfers and 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.

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.
