From The Editors December 15th, 2020

In this last edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter for 2020, we want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. To wind down the year that was, Golf Canada contributor John Gordon takes a look back at a 'Year You'll Never Forget' and manages to find the positives that the game of golf was able to bring to many during these trying times.

For those who are intrigued by the Rules of Golf, British Columbia Golf is hosting two online seminars on the subject starting in February so be sure to check that out.

We also have a couple of articles with ideas on gifts for the golfers in our lives and a little humour from Rick Newell and his Life In The Trap golf comic strip.

Enjoy the Holiday Season, your loved ones, and please stay safe.
