From The Editors July 5th, 2019

In this issue of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, we have the announcment of this year's BC Golf Hall of Fame inductees with five new members going into the hall including the very unique situation of having a husband and wife duo being inducted at the same time and on their own separate merit.

It's Take A Kid To The Course Week and you can find out where to tee it up with your young golfers at participating golf courses around the province.

Brad Ziemer's BC Golf notes are also back with his weekly eye on what's happening involving golf and golfers around BC.

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.
