From The Editors June 29th, 2021

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you can see the latest version of Brad Ziemer's BC Golf notes which includes a look at the upcoming British Columbia Golf Junior Championships at Morningstar GC in Parksville starting today. Brad also has the wrap-up from Leah John's win at the BC Women's Amateur last week from Summerland GC.

Brad has two other reports on golfers from BC, the finish to the strong college career of Coquitlam's Henry Lee and the road to recovery for another accomplished player, former B.C. Amateur and Senior Men's Champion, Sandy Harper from Nanaimo.

In addition, we would like to bring your attention to the outstanding interview by Shelby Dechant with PGA Class A Professional, Kylie Frederick - who is gay, and is committed to being a part of the conversation on diversity and inclusion, as she says, "...not talking about it was doing a disservice to the LGBTQI2S+ community."

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
