PGA of BC PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
FUGGLES & WARLOCK CRAFTWORKS
Richmond-based Fuggles & Warlock Craftworks is not your average brewery. With a motto of "Keeping beer weird," Fuggles & Warlock's creations push the boundaries of traditional beer while bringing a distinct West Coast flair. 

Fuggles & Warlock's award-winning creations are stocked in cans and bottles at hundreds of liquor stores and on tap at food and beverage establishments across Western Canada. The brewery's Horseshoe Way tasting room also provides a great setting to sample some of Fuggles & Warlock's new and popular creations. 
 
As a Bronze-level Preferred Partner of the PGA of BC, Fuggles & Warlock offers special pricing on cans and kegs to member facilities. They're also proud to sponsor tournaments, men's and ladies' nights, KP competitions and more. In recent years, the PGA of BC has proudly featured tastings of Fuggles & Warlock products at several events.

GREGGAIN MAINTAINS LEAD IN LATEST UPDATE TO PDP ORDER OF MERIT
Jennifer Greggain (Chilliwack Golf Club) continues to top the PGA of BC's Professional Development Program Order of Merit presented by Sunice & Bobby Jones as of the April update to the standings.

Though she did not add to her total over the past month, Greggain and her 46 points accumulated mostly through education-related efforts -- including as a presenter on the PGA of BC Education Series presented by Foresight Sports Canada -- could not be surpassed by any of her colleagues throughout March. Colin Lavers (Seymour Golf & Country Club), Greggain's co-presenter at the Education Series event in Victoria in February, continues to hold second place with 44 points, while Gordon Mink (Hi-Knoll Golf Centre) ranks third with 43 points.

Jeff Wiggins (Mountain View Golf Club) still holds fourth place with 37 points, while three members hold a share of fifth place with 29 points apiece -- Cailean Hourigan (Bear Mountain Resort Community), Greg Pool (Capilano Golf & Country Club) and Ryan Mackenzie (The Vancouver Golf Club).

Members are reminded that when making a requisition for PDP points, supporting documentation must be submitted to [email protected] in order to be considered and credited.
